Climbing the Social Ladder in a Period Novel

Lu Miao transmigrates into a period novel, becoming someone who climbed the social ladder, with a pretty face but nothing going on inside her head.

She succeeds in marrying into a powerful family, but before she can enjoy the good life for long, her husband's family suddenly falls into decline. They lose all their support and are sent away to a barren island.

There's no way she can live like a salted fish.

Zhao Jiuhe of the Zhao family grew up sheltered by his parents, and his life had always gone smoothly. Then disaster struck his family, both his parents died, and the boy had to grow up overnight.

Once a dazzling young man, he became someone everyone avoided. Having seen the ways of the world, he coldly watches his little wife, who had once gone to great lengths to marry him, pack her small bundle and try to run away in the middle of the night.

But as they are about to leave for the island, the little wife who tried to escape the night before appears with a bundle of supplies for the journey. Tears stream down her tender face, soft enough to pinch water from.
