Red Beans of Wanshan Village

Cozy everyday life | A superb son | Building a business | Marriage before love (an engagement)

[Quick-witted, adorable artist × gentle, refined scholar]

Jiang Hongdou is considered the cleverest child in Wanshan Village.

She could answer questions at one, had a photographic memory by the age of three or four, could identify medicinal herbs, and even used sticks to draw unusual designs. The only problem was her poor footing. She often tumbled down the hill behind the village, leaving herself covered in bruises.

Her parents were terribly worried, afraid that their daughter's exceptional intelligence would bring her harm.

When she was five, she secretly climbed the hill on a rainy day to wait for mushrooms.

By the time her family found her, she had rolled down the slope and was unconscious.

When she woke, she was a fool.

Everyone in Wanshan Village pitied and protected her, and she grew up safe and sound until she was thirteen.

Fortunately, the year she turned thirteen, she suddenly regained her wits.

She drew unusual designs and amusing picture books, helping her family earn money and leading the village to prosperity.

While Jiang Hongdou was a fool, Chen, the man who had once been saved by her father, insisted on arranging a betrothal between their families.

Her handsome fiancé was gentle and proper at first. Later, though he was always blushing, he kept looking for chances to talk to her.

Being born into ancient times and taking life one day at a time isn't so bad.

Both leads are each other's only partner. The story focuses on everyday life among ordinary people, with a large cast of supporting characters. A sweet romance.

(The story is complete, though it's an older work. I'll revise it and post it after the current serial is finished. The first 20,000 words have already been revised, so feel free to read them. Bookmark if you're interested~)
