The new story, The Marquis's Wife's Daily Life, is currently updating!
She transmigrates to ancient times in a single day and gets a husband and two children as a bonus. Her husband, Chen Shiwen, is twenty-three, a newly qualified imperial examination candidate, and will sit for the jinshi exam next year. He cares deeply about his clan. He's a second husband with children!
Chen Shiwen: "We are not splitting up the family. We are not splitting up the family. We are not splitting up the family. That's important, so I'll say it three times."
Their daughter, Hui-jie, is a tiny five-year-old. She can be timid or bold, gloomy or cheerful, and she's even smarter than her mother.
Hui-jie: "Auntie, should I pretend to be sick today so Father will come to your room?"
Their son, Kang-ge, is three and the only grandson of the main branch. His daily routine: hitting his grandmother, hitting his sister, hitting his playmates; eating steamed egg custard, pastries, and crispy fried yellow croaker.
Kang-ge: "I'm not fat!"
"I need two bowls of egg custard!"
The heroine, Liu Yuzhen, is fifteen. She has a carriage, a house, farmland, hills, shops, servants, and enough jewelry to wear a different set every day for a month. Her dowry is worth at least eight thousand taels.
Liu Yuzhen: "Would I be punished for marrying a cousin within three degrees of kinship?"
P.S. 1. The male lead isn't a virgin. He takes the imperial exams and becomes an official.
2. The setting is fictional, based on a certain dynasty. I'll do my best to research, but I can't guarantee I'll find everything. Please be kind to the author and don't nitpick the details.
3. "Daily life" means the focus is on domestic affairs and family matters, and the plot moves slowly.
4. Infrastructure building + household intrigue + raising children + the imperial exams and official career. The heroine won't be put through misery.
The following story in the same series is expected to start in the second half of the year. Feel free to add it to your collection if you're interested. Thank you!
Another story in the same series as The Marquis's Wife's Daily Life:
Zeng Shu grew up between her step-grandmother and her birth mother. She heard her step-grandmother say her mother was foolish and disobedient, and heard her mother complain that her step-grandmother was overbearing and unreasonable. As a result, she became exceptionally good at joking around and keeping on everyone's good side.
But who could have guessed that this skill would be useless after she got married? The old madam of the marquis's household, the concubines, the heir, her husband the marquis, and all three of her children were as blunt as could be.
Daily life went like this:
"Madam, the old madam has sent two more beautiful maids."
Zeng Shu thought to herself with delight: "Bring me that booklet the Marquis gave me, the one listing the unmarried military officers. Let the girls see which one they like and pick someone. We can arrange the weddings next month."
"Madam, the heir sent over lots of toys and picture books. There's a whole box!"
Zeng Shu was pleased. "Perfect, we don't have any of those here. Let the three of them pick out what they like. Send the rest to the Young Care Home. The things we sent last time must be nearly worn out by now."
"Madam, the Marquis took the money you'd set aside for the festival and used it for military expenses."
"Madam, there's trouble! The Second Young Master was playing cuju with the children at the Young Care Home and kicked down a wall!"
"Madam, there's trouble! The Third Young Miss got into a fight with the eldest son of General Feng's family! She split his head open!"
"Madam..."
"What is it now?"
"The Fourth Young Master, the Fourth Young Master is arguing with his tutor. The tutor couldn't win and fainted!"
Zeng Shu: "..."
This life is simply impossible to live!
Theme: After transmigrating to ancient times, study hard and strive to live well, making life better for yourself and the people around you.
Nice article, but the author has stopped writing it now and has not published any new articles.
It feels a bit unfinished. If there were more than one million words, it might be more nuanced.
This kind of big family is really (//?//) Hard to describe in words
Every time I see Mrs. Zeng, I feel uneasy. She was harmed her whole life by her dirty mother-in-law and uncle. She was supposed to have a good husband and wife, promising children and grandchildren, and a peaceful and happy life. However, she was made to lose her loved ones by a group of bastards, left alone and desolate, and was bullied. Although she took revenge, her originally happy life was destroyed in the end.
How come he is the same generation as his father? . . . .
Love to watch (?°з°)-?
Very nice! I like this kind of everyday writing, although it is not the traditional imperial examination writing.
It's so good, I stayed up a few nights to read it. Thank you so much to the author, keep up the good work!
It's beautiful, but it's over before you know it…
I finished it in one go. It was so cool and beautiful. Thank you so much(??ω`?)
