   This is a fantastic read! The male and female leads are both intelligent, courageous, and resourceful. [The male and female leads are not time-travelers, nor are they reborn or have any cheat codes; they are native to ancient times.] Rumor has it that Miss Liu, the third daughter of the capital, has a slender waist and fair skin, a rare beauty. Unfortunately, during the family division, she filed a lawsuit against her own uncle, making him infamous and causing everyone to shake their heads. Who would want such a shrewish and troublesome woman? Even her fiancé broke off the engagement… Chu Yan, the eldest grandson of the Duke of Wei's family, was originally a brilliant and renowned young general. Unfortunately, an accident left him crippled, drastically changing his personality, making him tyrannical and violent, frightening his fiancée into running away. Unexpectedly, these two "unwanted" individuals are engaged! Upon closer inspection, everyone thinks that one unwanted and the other a useless person are actually a good match. On their wedding night, he was frivolous and cruel: "I've heard my wife is a beauty. Let me see how beautiful she is. If she's not, I'll skin her alive and replace her with another." She was gentle as water: "My husband's eyes are as bright as stars; I adore them." Gentle indeed, but if it weren't for the dagger in her hand, it seemed she would gouge out his eyes at any moment. They parted on bad terms. Her ex-fiancé, her cousin… many people were waiting for the day she would be beaten to death. Unexpectedly, not only was she not killed, but she rose to the rank of princess! 😅😅

Prices were high, business was tough, and ordinary people lived in constant fear, with many starving on the streets.
