【Resilient, clever craftswoman x Black-bellied, peacock-like inspector | I wanted to write a forceful romance, but couldn't bring myself to go that far, so it became a healthy relationship】
Ten years after transmigrating to the Northern Song dynasty, Tang Zhaohuan finally had a weaving workshop of her own. While making a delivery in Bianjing, she overheard someone plotting to ambush Zhao Yanzhi, grandson of the Prince of Zi.
Four years earlier, Tang Zhaohuan had been studying at the Luoyang Silk Workshop. To escape being killed, she had lied, claiming that she and Zhao Yanzhi had pledged themselves to each other. One false claim earned her four years of protection from the Luoyang royal family.
To repay him, she waited outside the Prince of Zi's residence, hoping to warn him. But that warning led Zhao Yanzhi to expose her lie to her face.
To stay alive, she kept coming up with new excuses, leaving Zhao Yanzhi unable to make a move.
Zhao Yanzhi, grandson of the Prince of Zi, enjoyed the emperor's favor and commanded an army on his own. Then he discovered that a mere embroiderer had used him as a stepping-stone.
Who would have thought that one soft, offhand remark from her would quell his fury and make him let her go?
Seeing Tang Zhaohuan annoyed him. Not seeing her annoyed him too. It went on, day and night, without end.
He decided to lock her up in his residence and see what new tricks she had up her sleeve.
He held the pieces in his hand and wove his schemes into a net. But he never expected that the first one trapped in the golden cage would be the heart of the man holding it.
Later, Tang Zhaohuan came to say goodbye. “I hear you're getting married. Please let me go.”
Zhao Yanzhi pulled her into his arms and murmured against her ear, his lips brushing her earlobe. “Everyone in the realm knows we've been promised to each other since childhood. I'd rather never marry than marry anyone but you. Where else could you possibly go, my wife?”
Reader's Guide:
1. This is an alternate-timeline take on my other ancient transmigration farming novel, A Northern Song Commoner's Daily Struggle. The world took a different turn at the end of Volume Two, but the leads' personalities and pairing remain the same.
2. I'm particular about romantic exclusivity, and so are the two leads. Before they realize they like each other, they strongly resist overly intimate physical contact.
3. Although the hero is eight years older than the heroine, she was twenty when she transmigrated, so I think they're evenly matched.
Theme: Love yourself, and love others
Okay, Xiao Zhao is a very responsible person, although I still think he is a bitch.
It's very sweet, and it's the sweetness of an old married couple.
But I have not forgotten three things, one is the fourth lady Wang, one is the other peacocks competing with Xiao Zhao, and the other thing I think is the most fundamental is that the two people are actually together in a daze. It seems that the window paper has been pierced, but in fact there is still a layer of window paper.
I knew I was right to come early
Xiao Zhao is really a badass. He attacks step by step and plays steadily.
Who is a good person who exposes his wounds and tries to reason? In the first stage, the peacock spreads its tail, in the second stage, it is a mischievous act, fine fine.
It's really not easy for these two people to go down the channel if they are not on the same channel.
A wish comes true and it feels like running in both directions, wow, the ring is waiting for me
A person who regrets so much and wants to forget it quickly, okay, you are not responsible
"Different paths lead to the same destination" has a new meaning today
Xiao Zhao's sanity is going to be gone, right?
Today is like a Shura field, wearing women's clothes. Zhao Yan is jealous, Master Fan is amazed, Yeluchi is tempted, what kind of excitement is this. Wang Zhen made a friendly appearance to Sanqi fans, but fortunately Wei Cheng was not qualified enough to serve on the table
Has Shirokiri finally realized that all his potential love rivals were trained by him? He asked Wang Zhen to guard Huan, and Huan said that Wang Zhen was an ideal husband; he asked Cui Wulang to find a son of a military family, and Huan said that Wei Cheng was young and handsome; he asked Huan to make money for himself, but Yeluchi favored Huan. Bai Qiehei should sit up at night and give himself a slap: Am I not sick?
So his current route is to keep people close to him as much as possible? I'll give it away this time. I'll come next time too.
I was going to be laughed to death. I thought it was a good idea before, but now I'm so angry that I don't know who to target. Should I blame my pig head at that time, Cui Wulang's efficient execution, or Wei Cheng's peacock with its tail open🦚
Could this person be the marriage partner Zhao Yanzhi has prepared for the heroine? It's possible. Knowing that the heroine said she likes an honest and reliable person like Wang Zhen, she insisted on appointing a smooth-tongued person. In fact, the reason and subconscious are fighting each other. He said that he could arrange a personal marriage for her, but deep down in his heart, he didn't want the heroine to really like him. Just be so awkward, no wonder you will regret it soon, and you will be the only one suffering the pain.
