The Canal Gang's Struggle

Qin Ran, a self-made heroine with humble beginnings.

On her way to adulthood, she encounters all kinds of men.

The scholar Cheng is considerate and caring: "Ran-niang, you only need to stay safely at home. Once I pass the imperial exams and enter officialdom, I'll come marry you!"

The brawny Qian won't take no for an answer: "Ran-niang, just marry me, and you'll have servants at your beck and call and gold and silver to wear!"

There's also one who watches Guan Shu without a word, sometimes playing little tricks. Who knows what he's planning...

With spinsterhood fast approaching, Qin Ran says: "I'm living in ancient times, but my father is too open-minded. Having the freedom to choose whom I marry isn't necessarily a good thing!"

A friendly reminder: The first five chapters are serious. Then the author got carried away and turned the rest into a lighthearted comedy... And the author has decided to keep the tone this playful all the way through. I know my credibility is already in the negatives most of the time, but I'm not joking about this, ahem! So, if you're looking for a serious story, be careful before jumping in!, The unreliable Ai Cao
