A Charming Husband Falls from the Sky

Mei Fuxiao of the Mei family estate brought a young gentleman home, serving him good tea and meals, hoping he would grow up to be a well-behaved, ambitious husband.

But as soon as she expressed what she had in mind, the seemingly delicate young man turned cold.

"Hah! Dream on. I'd only ever fancy a silly girl like you if the old locust tree at the village entrance sprouted and bloomed!"

Mei Fuxiao (crying with anger)... (The old locust tree at the village entrance had been split in two by lightning last month.)

Later, someone could always be found squatting beneath the old locust tree, carefully watering it, fertilizing it, and tending to it every day.

A passerby kindly advised him, "Young sir, don't bother. This tree won't come back to life..."

"Hah! If I say it'll live, it'll live..."

The man had red lips, pearly white teeth, and features as lovely as a painting. Wasn't he the pretty husband the Mei family's young lady had picked up?

Later still, the old locust tree really did come back to life. The young lady of the Mei family followed her pretty husband, and together they embarked on a happy road to prosperity and the pinnacle of success...

Reading guide:

1. The heroine is a local, while the hero transmigrated from the modern world, where he used to be a spoiled rich playboy.

2. An alternate world, lighthearted in tone, mostly about romance, with some making money and building a business on the side.

The blurb for the upcoming novel "Stealing Fragrance" is below. Add it to your pre-release list from my author page:

Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor couldn't stand Consort Ru, Lu Yanru.

Lu Yanru was sensible enough. Since she knew the emperor disliked her, she naturally kept well away from him.

And so, with no great ambitions, Consort Ru ended up in the Cold Palace.

One day, a crowd suddenly burst into the Cold Palace. A group of consorts, accompanied by eunuchs,

fiercely threw open Lu Yanru's covers and dragged out a disheveled man.

"Which blind eunuch dragged me out of bed?" the man yelled, hopping mad.

Everyone was so shocked they couldn't speak. All they could think was: We tried to catch an adulterer, and now we'll lose our lives...

A laid-back consort and a hot-tempered emperor. A sweet romance.

Theme: Keep striving, and good things will come.
