The City Lord Has His Eye on Me

Also known as The City Lord's Wife's Farming Diary, Madam, You Sent the City Lord Off to Sell Meat Three Days Ago!, and Shocking! My Neighbor's Secret Identity Is...! Blurb 1 As the illegitimate daughter of the magistrate of Qingping County, Jiang Wan was driven out of the family home by her jealous stepmother after her mother passed away. She was sent to the ancestral home in Quxi Village to fend for herself, ostensibly to watch over the old house. Her share of the family wealth amounted to only a few old clothes, several packets of vegetable seeds of uncertain variety, and the small plot of land behind the ancestral home, which had been abandoned for who knew how many years. Fine. All she had to do was support herself. That sounded pretty good, at least she wouldn't have to spend all day suffering in the women's quarters. Jiang Wan thought that living self-sufficiently would be a struggle, but soon she noticed something was off. For instance, the cat that kept bringing meat home, the field that had been neatly turned over overnight, and the vegetables that grew a whole size larger than everyone else's without any fertilizer... Later, Jiang Wan discovered that it all had to do with the handsome neighbor who had moved in across the lane before her. He was also harboring improper intentions toward her! So Jiang Wan resolutely... agreed to share a life with him! Their days grew better and better, and one thing after another kept happening. Before long, her birth mother came shamelessly to the door, hoping to curry favor with a neighboring county, and insisted Jiang Wan marry there as a concubine. Just as she finished speaking, a group of guards armed with swords and cudgels rushed in. Their leader boomed, "Who dares make our City Lord's wife a concubine? Have you got a death wish?" Jiang Wan: "??? The City Lord's wife? You mean me?" Blurb 2 Even as the future successor to the City Lord of Anyang, Mu Jing had to go to great lengths to win his little wife over. He had to learn how to raise cats, sell meat, and farm. Most importantly, he had to show up whenever his little wife was wronged. Still, if that's what it took to win the beauty of his dreams, he could put up with it! An upbeat, open-hearted, kind, occasionally adorably clueless illegitimate young lady x a handsome city lord who uses a secret identity, plays the fool to catch his enemies, and patiently schemes to win her over PS: 1. This story is set in a fictional world, loosely inspired by the feudal system. The hierarchy goes from county to city to kingdom: ruler > city lord > county head (magistrate). This does not come up much, so you don't need to worry about it. 2. The male lead is reborn and uses a secret identity. As he helps the female lead get rich through farming, he plays the fool to catch his enemies and wins his darling wife over. 3.
