[Updated whenever I feel like it]
Ever since he was born, the Lin family's eldest son had been told by the doctors that he wouldn't live past the age of three.
But Lin Anyu survived year after year, struggling on the brink of life and death until he grew up.

Coming soon: The Empress's Promotion, a farming-style story.
[A journey of awakening for a woman in ancient times. Her beauty gave her the chance to gain knowledge, and only by arming herself with knowledge could she keep winning.]
Blurb:
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort just sent over a maid, saying she should serve tea in your study."
Prince Lu sneered. "Send her back! Tell her to stop trying such tricks!"
Until...
In the spring sunshine, the radiant young woman smiled as she held a flower, her gaze bewitching and her voice soft and sweet.
He couldn't resist!
Amber was brought by Prince Lu from his manor all the way to the palace, where she was granted a high rank. Everyone said she was lucky. Only she knew how much thought she'd put into making that chance encounter happen.
No matter what people said about Amber being scheming and sly, Li Sheng refused to believe them. In his heart, she would always be the frail young woman who had cried and begged him to let her go on that snowy night.
Until... one by one, her rivals disappeared, and he suddenly realized that his little darling might not be so simple.
But so what? He gazed at her radiant smile. As long as she was happy, that was all he wanted.
[A serious historical drama, farming-style story, domestic and palace intrigue. The heroine is calculating and cunning, not a delicate, innocent flower.]
That female gentleman is so shameless. She hooked up with him in front of his wife and concubines. I hope Father Lin won't fall for her~
I don't like Lin Ruhai here. I think he is very weak towards the inner house and how gentle he is towards his concubine! Even if Jia Min wants Lin Daiyu to go to Jia's house, if Lin Ruhai doesn't want to, he can always find a way. Even if he does as Jia Min says, if he really thinks about his daughter, he has to wait until Lin Daiyu's health is better and make proper arrangements before going.
An Yuji is Jia Min's son in the genealogy, so he is the legitimate eldest son, not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son. Genealogy in ancient times is not that trivial, you can change it if you want. Anyu has already occupied the title of legitimate eldest son. Even if the children born after him are recorded in the name of Wan family, they will be the second and third sons, and they cannot surpass Anyu in any case. Moreover, the Wan family may not be willing to record the two descendants in their names, because it will affect the inheritance rights of Wan family's biological children. In ancient times, concubines were mostly recorded in the name of their legitimate mothers, because concubines would not inherit the family property, and the only difference was the dowry. But the concubine is different. Except for the eldest son who will inherit the ancestral hall and sacrificial fields, the paternal property will be shared equally among the legitimate sons. However, the property of the legitimate mother will only be inherited by the legitimate sons. If the Wan family records the two younger sons in her own name, the common son will inherit her dowry and private property, and the inheritance rights will be before her biological children. With how careful Wan was about money, how could he be so generous to his concubine?
Why hasn't it been updated for so long? How many updates are there in a week? Are there any definite plans?
It's a good thing that Wan's people should be humble. Everything goes according to rules. Everyone has rules of the game, so it's easy to get along with them. Lin Ruhai is getting older. Even if Wan gave birth to a son today, she still has to think about the small population of the Lin family. Lin Ruhai is already weak and will have to rely on her brothers to help her in the future. Now that the Wan family has no children and Lin Ruhai is gone, rules are a good way to solve everything. Now that she acts according to the rules, her eldest son Lin Anyu will also have to treat her according to the rules in the future.
Let me also say that Anyu is registered under Jia Min's name, so it cannot be completely irrelevant that the Jia family is Anyu's legitimate maternal grandfather's family. Furthermore, the two children of the Lin family are weak and the Lin family is so depressed, so I have some doubts that the children born from the Lin family's genes and Lin Hai's age must be healthier than An Yu? Some people say it was Jia Min who did it, but I actually doubt it.
It's very lively downstairs, so I won't say that you are abusing the protagonist, but this description angle is still a problem. You are not only describing the Lin family from a third perspective, but you are completely leaving An Yu aside. Is he still the protagonist? The protagonist does not mean that we must always write about him, but we should write around him. Now it seems that Lin Hai is more like the protagonist, Daiyu is the second, and An Yu is not the third, but he and everyone else share the role of supporting role.
Looking forward to the follow-up, I feel like the plot is still progressing very slowly
It's more wooden than welcoming spring. . . But I still know how to keep my own little treasury behind closed doors.
It would be better for her to be a person who doesn't take care of everything, so as not to cause trouble and abuse her children. Daiyu still has confidence, but Anyu doesn't. What's the use of recognizing Jia Min's name? If there are no other sons, he is the eldest son. If there are other concubines, he will only be named "longer" than his brothers. If those younger brothers are more favored than him, they can always recognize him as Jia Min. Anyway, Jia Min is dead, and his biological mother is not afraid. She will rob her son. If she has a legitimate son who fills the house, humph, sorry, you, the nominal legitimate eldest son, just stay behind. Is it true that a legitimate legitimate son is not as good as a legitimate legitimate son like you, a girl who is only born in nominal terms? Even if Lin Hai doesn't say anything, outsiders will no longer treat you as a legitimate son.
