Reborn as the Peasant Wife of Chancellor Pei

After getting a good night's sleep, convenience store manager Yu Ying opened her eyes and found herself a lowly adopted daughter in ancient times, married off to a farming family in someone else's place. The good news: She has sixty taels of silver in dowry and a maid. The bad news: Everyone in the family is old, young, or frail. A wicked neighbor has already cheated her out of thirty taels, and even with her husband and younger brother-in-law ill, the neighbor is still trying to borrow money for a doctor and swindle her again. Yu Ying: ... First, get back the money the wicked neighbor borrowed. Then eat when there's food and drink when there's drink. Even in hard times, do your best to live happily. Pei Su, Yu Ying's husband in name only, is a handsome young scholar from a farming family. Targeted and suppressed out of jealousy, he has failed the county examinations several times, and the villagers who don't know the truth mock him behind his back. No one knows that in his previous life, after his mother and wife both died, he rose to prominence and entered the imperial court. In just fifteen years, he climbed to the position of chief minister, becoming an idol to every scholar of farming-family origins in later generations. Pei Su isn't greedy for wealth or lustful. Like an ascetic monk, he lives only for his career. After enduring too many hardships, he dies coughing up blood at the age of thirty-five. Given another life, with his family all still alive, Lord Pei thinks that this time he knows the way and should take care of his health, plan ahead, and lead his family to a prosperous life. But his wife, who died young in his last life, seems to have changed completely. Once shy and withdrawn, she's now outgoing and feisty. She loves good food, clothes, and fun, never backs down in an argument, and spends money without hesitation. She treats her husband like an errand boy. Whenever he goes into town on business, she always asks him to bring back some pastries. Lord Pei: ... After Lord Pei once again rides the imperial examinations to a bright future, everyone thinks Yu Ying is no match for him, with nothing but her beauty to recommend her. No one knows why Lord Pei stays by his wife's side and cherishes her all his life. Yu Ying: I don't know either... Maybe it's because super top students don't care for women and would rather live like monks and study, so they don't care who their wife is? Lord Pei: Who are you calling a monk?! It's only when I'm with a heartless girl like you that I can set down my burdens and feel carefree and refreshed, as if basking in a spring breeze.

She's cautious and reserved, but her eyes are so moving. Wei Huaijie doesn't want to let her distract him from his studies, so he always treats her coolly and lowers his eyes whenever their gazes meet. When a cousin who had become engaged to someone else came to the estate, she persuaded the mistress of the house to let the maidservant buy her freedom. At the time, Wei Huaijie could only feel a pang of regret. Later, he sees her standing beside his former classmate, the two of them holding the same lantern and looking perfectly intimate.

Seeing how chaotic the world is, she sucks in a breath. The official's household she's currently working in has strict rules, but at least it offers some personal safety and pays more than working outside. The young master seems to dislike her, so she works carefully and diligently, hoping not to get on her boss's bad side and to save some money while she eats and drinks. After leaving the Wei household, she's considering where to find her next job when Li Yizhi, her former young master's classmate, tries to poach her. "I tried the dumplings you made once at the Wei household and couldn't forget them. Come work for me." "Please give me a few days to think it over, young master." There are other households that want to hire her too. "Whoever hires you, I'll pay you three times their monthly wage." "..." How is this even a choice? As a modern office worker who respects money, you roll up your sleeves and work for whichever company offers the higher salary and better benefits. * Many years later, Censor Wei Huaijie glares with bloodshot eyes and curses Marquis Li Yizhi of Zhenbei. He may seem refined and openhearted, but in truth he's vile and treacherous, a complete scoundrel. How could he take advantage of the situation and steal the woman he loves? His wife is actually Wei's childhood sweetheart. Li Yizhi, who rose through the ranks on the strength of his military achievements, sneers: "When it comes to love, everyone has to rely on their own abilities. So what if I took the woman I love? You should blame yourself for being incapable of holding on to her." Theme: There's always a way forward when you reach the mountain. Live with optimism.
