Translated by GPT-6 Luna

Looking for a handsome, charming gentleman who always behaves himself, paired with a somewhat tsundere young lady who's sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. The male lead should be a fox-like charmer, and the heroine should often find herself bewitched by his looks.

Recommend!! It's beautiful🤤🤤🤤Although this talented scholar is a down-and-out scholar, the eldest lady is really arrogant🥰[🔥Dressed as the son-in-law of a marquis? First, help the talented wife's poetry show to slap her in the face!] The leisurely life of the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion (I, Civil and Military Ruler of the Country) Gu Zhengyan accidentally traveled through time and became a down-and-out scholar, but he made a splash and won the first place in the poetry competition, and accidentally married Luo Shuyao, the daughter of the Hou Mansion. This eldest lady was talented but extremely arrogant. On the night of their wedding, she and Gu Zhengyan were expelled from the Marquis Mansion, and the two of them had to live in a shabby house in the countryside. The collision between the talented man and the eldest lady is full of sparks - Gu Zhengyan uses modern thinking to manage his life, from reclaiming wasteland and farming to improving papermaking, gradually improving the poor situation; while Luo Shuyao despises her husband's businessman style on the surface, but secretly admires the majestic talent of his poem "The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun sets in the long river". When the Hou Mansion set up many tests to break up the couple, Gu Zhengyan shocked the audience with "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", intoxicated all the officials with "About to Enter the Wine", and even offered suggestions in the court to solve the food and grass problem at the border, which gradually made his arrogant wife who originally despised him gradually fall into disgrace. The best thing is Luo Shuyao's original "Three No's Principles" - you are not allowed to interrupt her when she is talking, you are not allowed to answer questions, and you are not allowed to pretend not to understand the "Guangling San" she plays. Gu Zhengyan was always made to laugh or cry by this textbook-level arrogance, but he happily improved the guqin, designed gardens for her, and turned his poor life into poetry and painting. When the Marquis finally recognized his son-in-law, Luo Shuyao protected her husband: "Father kicked us out, don't regret it now."

Reader note
The plot of "Drunken Jade" is exciting: rebirth and self-rescue + power game, sweet and sadistic interweaving. Recommended reasons: 1. Full character: the rebirth of the tsundere and the counterattack, the affectionate protection of the sinister prince. The character of the heroine Yan Yiru can be called the "ceiling of growth-type tsundere". In her previous life, she was the legitimate daughter of the founding family. She was engaged to the prince since she was a child. Her pampered life gave her the arrogance of a noble daughter, but her family was overturned when her family was involved in power struggles. Reborn back to the age of 9, she lost the innocence of her previous life and became wise and far-sighted. She still looks like a young lady on the outside, but secretly uses the excuse of "immortals' dreams" (actually memories of her past life) to secretly plan to protect her family and survive. She will lose her temper when she is frustrated in business, but she will also calmly analyze before a crisis in court. Under the arrogant shell, there is a sober core, which is real and vivid. The male protagonist Li Ji is the prince of Changsha, and he has the dual buffs of "beautiful, strong and miserable" + "dark and affectionate". In the early stage, she was in danger due to a family accident, but was accidentally rescued by the young Yan Yiru. From then on, this young girl who dared to venture and fight will be remembered in my heart. Later, when they met again, he became pen pals with the heroine on the pretext of their "shared love of calligraphy." While testing his feelings with gentle words, he cleared obstacles for her in the dark. When faced with the intrigues of the court, he is scheming and careful at every step; when faced with Yan Yiru, he blushes because of one of her jokes, and becomes jealous because of her "wanting to conquer others". The contrast between sinister and affectionate people is directly full. 2. The plot is exciting: rebirth and self-rescue + power play, a mixture of sweetness and abuse. The beginning of the story catches people's hearts - 9-year-old Yan Yiru just encountered a "sign" of the impending destruction of her family when she was reborn. She rushed to warn her elders, but she was treated as a child's joke because of her young age and "bizarre rhetoric". No one believed her, so she took matters into her own hands: she sneaked out of the house to rescue Li Ji who was in trouble (foreshadowing her fate). After her father was released, she faced the pressure of "it is not honorable for a noble woman to do business" and used modern ideas to open a rouge shop and develop a supply chain, and she managed to earn "life-saving money" for the family. The emotional line in the middle period is sweet and "abusive": after the two reunited, Yan Yiru wanted to "find a reliable and powerful marriage" for the sake of the stability of the family, and was completely unaware of Li Ji's intentions. Until a certain banquet, Li Ji directly intercepted her and said with half grievance and half forcefully: "Isn't the person you are looking for right in front of you?" With one sentence, he broke the ambiguous deadlock. Later, he protected her against the prince's suspicion and the emperor's temptation. He even used his own power to build a "safe zone" for her when the capital was in chaos. The two went from "pen pals" to "comrades-in-arms", and their relationship became stronger through the pull of power. In the later period, there were even more climaxes in the court line: the prince suddenly died, the emperor died, all forces were ready to move, and Yan Yiru's family was once again involved in the whirlpool. She supported Li Ji with the financial resources accumulated through business, while Li Ji relied on his machinations and wisdom to break out of the chaos. The two of them worked together internally, externally, and in business, and eventually helped Li Ji ascend to the position of prince. They not only saved the family, but also each other. There was no subterfuge in the whole process, and it was exciting and exciting to watch. 3. Clear logic: the details are solid and not suspended, and the characters are highly consistent with the plot. There is no "golden finger" bug in the book, and every step of Yan Yiru's self-rescue is logical: she relies on her past life memory to avoid risks, but she cannot predict all the details. For example, when doing business, she will encounter "supply chain shortages" and "peer pressure", which need to be solved by her own wisdom; she wants to help Li Ji, but she will also make mistakes because she is not familiar with the rules of the court, which requires the two of them to work together. The plot line is also very solid: from the conflict between the prince and the kings, to the emperor's suspicion of the meritorious family, to how Li Ji took advantage of the gap between the various forces to rise, every conspiracy and every counterattack has a cause and effect, and there is no forced setting of "torture for the sake of abuse" or "sweetness for the sake of sweetness". For example, Li Ji was able to quickly come to power in the later period, not only because of his strong abilities, but also because when Yan Yiru rescued him in the early stage, he inadvertently helped him avoid the crisis of being "silenced by political opponents". The fate and career lines of the two are intertwined, and the logical closed loop is convincing. If you like "rebirth and counterattack without being aggrieved" and "the pairing of arrogant and sinister gods", and also want to see the unsuspicious power and business in ancient Chinese novels, this "Drunken Jade" will definitely make you stay up late to catch up and won't be able to stop!
