Lady Di's Life Notes

Xiao Yuzhu, the daughter of a powerful family, married Di Yuxiang, a poor man of humble origins. Her marriage was a poor match, life was hard, and her husband was far too ambitious. With no other choice, she fought her way upward alongside him. A few warnings for anyone who wandered in by mistake: * This is a fictional setting. Don't expect it to stand up to historical scrutiny. * The male lead is a good man to the female lead. I say that because she's one of only three people he treats well: the other two are his mother and, later, his daughter. Those are the only people he cares about. He's not usually the type to be considerate toward women. The female lead is also a capable woman who knows how to manage a household. A good husband and a good wife: there is no marital discord. The male lead is devoted to his wife and takes responsibility for his family. He's not a scumbag. If you like scumbag male leads, feel free to click away. And please don't keep wondering whether the male lead is a scumbag. This is a story of a husband working the fields and a wife weaving, with him striving for success in government while she works behind the scenes to make sure he has his bases covered. It's the story of a couple striving together. * If you're here specifically to tell the author how to write, please don't. The author sincerely asks you to click away. Spare yourself, and spare the author. * I'll leave this here as an additional note. * I'm still worried, so I'll leave another space for an additional note. The story's only merit: I've heard the updates are generally regular. But if something comes up for the author, especially circumstances beyond their control, then even this merit may not apply. A sincere warning: If you have high standards and tend to be picky, don't read this. The author isn't a good writer, and is responsible only for writing the story, not for readers' negative feelings.
