Green Mountains Like Painted Brows

Jiang Fei was lively and cheerful. When she first met the exiled heir of the Song State,

she thought he was so cold no one could get close to him. But she fell for his looks anyway and spent all day trailing after him.

She turned down the Chen State heir's marriage proposal.

"When I come of age, you can come ask for my hand."

But he left without a word.

She decided to wait. She wasn't afraid of loneliness or loss,

only afraid that when he came back, she would no longer have the chance.

Zichong was the heir of the Song State,

but at fifteen, he was sent to Xinzheng in the Zheng State, where he had to live under someone else's roof.

She looked like his younger brother, and she was the only one who made him feel warm.

It turned out that Young Master Jiang was the only daughter of the Zheng State's Grand Marshal.

With assassination attempts coming one after another, he didn't dare stay,

fearing she would be the one hurt next.

He came back, and her heart was full of joy,

but she didn't know that their families were bound by hatred and vengeance.

She was trapped in a sealed room for five days, and the child died in her womb.

When he rushed back, he told her, "Don't be afraid. I'll stay with you."

He dragged his enemies' entire household before the court, but she still left.

A year later, he stood at the entrance to her courtyard. "This time, I'm not going back to Shangqiu."

Coming Soon: Where Does My Wife Want to Go This Time?

When I was young, I watched transmigration dramas and always thought they didn't feel realistic. (Of course, transmigration itself isn't realistic.)

I often wondered what it would really be like to travel back in time: the curiosity about ancient China, and the collision between human civilizations separated by a thousand years.

In this love story, I put in some of my childhood and youthful imaginings.

I wonder if any of it will resonate with you.

This story begins in 472 BCE, during the Spring and Autumn period, when the Three Huan clans held power in the State of Lu.

He is the young head of the Ji Sun clan, the most powerful family in Lu. Handsome, valiant, and calculating, who wouldn't want to marry him? But his wife is a different story.

A modern office worker somehow ends up in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period, becoming the young clan head's wife.

All she wants is a comfortable life, while staying ready to return to the twenty-first century at any moment.

The heroine brings the lightheartedness, and the hero brings the devotion.
