From Low-Ranking Clerk's Daughter to a Marquis's Daughter-in-Law

Blurb Yun Jin transmigrated and became the eldest daughter of a family of petty officials. Their status was low, and sometimes even having enough to eat was a problem. One day, she went out for a stroll with her father and brothers, who were dressed in their official uniforms. She saw the people on the street either avoid them or glare at them resentfully. Those looks fell not only on her father and brothers, but weighed on Yun Jin's heart, too. When she occasionally went out to play with others, she often heard people call her father and brothers tiger-capped officials. The neighborhood children also mocked her as a little tigress, humiliating her at every turn. Yun Jin couldn't change the course of the world, but by acting cute and throwing tantrums, she forced the grown men in her family to study and learn manners, and forbade them from oppressing the people. Her father, Yun Daliang, said, "If I weren't afraid my daughter would cry, why would I ever bother reading?" The people of Bianjing loved flowers and cats, so she sold fresh flowers and opened a cattery. She made flower cakes and dried-flower tea, and cat climbing frames for beloved pets became all the rage. At last, she built a prosperous life. Then she cleverly seized the right opportunity to leave the ranks of runners and constables, become a clerk, manage documents, and earn a reputation for refined, respectable work. Though clerks were still low-ranking officials, the mockery gradually died down. In the end, her father even rose to become a low-ranking ninth-grade official, leaving behind his status as a petty official. She snuck off to play at Baoyen Temple, only to come across Young Marquis Qi arguing with someone. She got caught up in it through no fault of her own. The young marquis made a casual remark, and before long it came true. When the Yun family received the imperial edict granting her marriage, Yun Jin felt as if she were dreaming... The marquis's household was a sea of deep waters, full of dangers. Everyone looked down on her lowly status, but Yun Jin handled it all with ease. The midwives she had trained when she was young even saved a noblewoman in the palace who was having a difficult labor. The emperor was delighted, and the crisis threatening the marquis's family inheritance was resolved. For a time, everyone in the marquis's household praised her, saying the young marquis was lucky to have her. From a petty official's daughter to a marquis's wife, the stage changed, but her skills remained the same. Male lead's perspective Qi Jing got lost by accident as a child and nearly fell into the hands of kidnappers. Fortunately, a little girl saved him, and from that day on, he was determined to marry her. More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye. At last, he discovered that the girl was the daughter of a petty official in the city. He wanted to marry her, but their status was simply too mismatched. He went to great lengths and made countless plans to obtain an imperial edict granting the marriage. Once his wish came true, he had no time to be with his beloved before his family forced him to lead troops to the border. Five years later, he finally returned to the capital with enough military merit, only to discover that the marriage no one had blessed had won his family's approval and the elders' praise.
