A Blind Bet on the Pearl

Please check out my transmigrate-into-a-book story next door, His Majesty Has Been Cursed Again. I’m rolling around begging for saves! Please support and follow it! Many thanks!

They say she was born to her mother and her maternal cousin, not her father, mind you! Her mother passed away, and her cousin became a monk, so she ended up living with her maternal grandfather.

What should she do when people look down on her and tease her about her birth? Hit them? Insult them? No, no, that’s too exhausting. She’ll chant scriptures instead. After all, there isn’t a problem a Buddhist sutra can’t solve.

Sometimes she thinks she might as well become a nun. Then no one would bring up her birth, and everyone would be more or less the same. But suddenly, a handsome young gentleman says he wants to marry her. What should she do? Of course she’ll marry him. Even nuns sometimes have to go begging for alms. It’s exhausting.

Um, do you want to marry me because I’m beautiful?

No, I want to marry you because you’re beautiful in a distinctive way.

Thinking it over, they’re about the same. Both have the word "beautiful" in them!

1. This story is earnest with a playful streak, as you’d expect from an author who’s usually playful writing something earnest.

2. This is a fictional setting, loosely modeled on the Ming dynasty. Please don’t nitpick the historical details!

3. Haha, now for the important part: please, please, please save this story! Whether you save it to your reading list or bookmark the author’s page, please, please, please save it!
