After being rejected by a scholar, then driven out of her home by her birth parents, the original owner of the body had despaired and tried to hang herself. But she was rescued by an elderly couple in the village whose only son had died on the battlefield. Blue Yuqi is overjoyed to transmigrate into the body of this farmer's daughter.
The first thing she does after transmigrating is cut ties with her birth family.
The second is to make her benefactors her adoptive parents and care for them until the end of their lives.
The third is to sell the songs she sang in her previous life and help her adoptive mother get rich.
Just as she's thriving, her birth parents and the scholar's family show up to mooch off her. Blue Yuqi rolls up her sleeves and roars, "The tiger may not roar, but don't mistake me, Blue Yuqi, for a sick cat! I didn't earn my nickname as the Chili Pepper Queen in my previous life for nothing!"
Just as she's enjoying giving the scoundrels what they deserve, the son of her adoptive parents, who died on the battlefield, suddenly returns and says he wants to marry her. But aren't the ancients all about marrying within one's social class? Why does this dashing, imposing Prince Regent want to marry a country girl who's already been rejected? Am I too old-fashioned, or have the ancients gotten trendy?
A guide before you dive in: The main story is about building a career, with a side of sweet romance.
The so-called sweet romance is just what Lianqiao thinks is sweet. It might not match your idea of sweet romance.
This story is purely fictional. Lianqiao writes whatever she finds satisfying, just for fun, so don't take it too seriously.
Coming soon: The Cold-Faced Chief Minister's Indolent Wife

Her mother-in-law is timid and indecisive.
Her young husband is only seven.
Her two sisters-in-law are five and three.
The family is so poor they have almost nothing, yet they still have to support a sick man and a scholar.
She plans to leave her young husband once he passes the highest imperial examination, but unexpectedly, he keeps rising through the ranks and becomes Chief Minister. By then, they have a house full of children and she can't leave. Most importantly, her husband dotes on her, his "idle" wife.
Theme: The Chili Pepper Queen transmigrates to ancient times to build a career. Women should be self-reliant and able to provide for themselves.
Well, it feels like the heroine doesn't like the hero very much, but the relationship between the two of them suddenly turns into love. The hero falling in love with the heroine is basically because of her changed mentality. And there's still space and stuff, don't you think it's weird? How could the ancients have such thoughts? People are stupid and have too much money. It's an old routine, just so-so.
