The Leisurely Days of a Noble Family's Legitimate Daughter

Chen Zhen transmigrates into the body of a noble family's legitimate daughter. She's six years old.

She kicks her little legs as she sits in her noble-born mother's lap, looking at her second-rank official father, her brother who took first place in the imperial examinations, her sister who serves as a court lady... As the youngest child in the family, she can just lie back and enjoy life.

Before long, a fair, delicate little boy quietly lies down beside her.

She turns to look.

The boy has lovely features, but he's thin and pale, with a pastry in his hand.

When he sees Chen Zhen looking at him, he gives her the whole thing. "You eat it."

Chen Zhen eats the pastry and gazes at the sky, letting out a wistful sigh.

Everything about this life is wonderful, except that she's been betrothed since childhood!

She glances at the little boy again. He came to live at her house at such a young age. Doesn't that make him her child husband?

Ugh, feudal remnants!

Back then, Chen Zhen didn't know that the imperial family had a tradition of sending frail princes to be raised in the homes of high-ranking officials. Nor did she know that her real fiance was someone else.

She also didn't know that this boy was the youngest son of the emperor, the fifteenth prince, Zhu Chengbi.

All she thought was, Well, if he's my child husband, I'll take good care of him.

From then on, she fights for him, teaches him to climb over walls, copies his schoolwork for him, and takes him to eat roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, soy-sauce chicken, cured meat, pine-flower eggs, pork tripe... and all kinds of other delicacies.

One day, the emperor visits his son in disguise.

Grand Tutor Chen is sweating profusely.

Looking at his "frail" son, who can easily climb a tree to steal birds and eats three bowls of rice at a meal, the emperor falls into deep thought: He's recovered, and he's gotten fat, too.

But why does something still feel... off?

Later, when Chen Zhen comes of age, she finally realizes what a huge misunderstanding she's made.

Her future husband's family is a wealthy Jiangnan clan, hailed as "half the city of Gao." They own countless properties, including dozens of grand restaurants!

That's great. It's all food she loves!

She's happily preparing for her wedding when Zhu Chengbi rushes back, wind and rain at his heels, and blocks her path.

The once frail little boy has grown into a young man, straight and strong as bamboo.

Just as he did countless times when he was little, he gently rests his forehead against her shoulder, his voice full of grievance:

"Zhenzhen."

"After all... I'm the one you raised with your own two hands..."

He lifts his reddened eyes.

"Don't leave me behind."
