Every book has a character who's so stupid it's infuriating, a disposable extra who doesn't even count as a supporting character.
Whenever the secondary villainess bullies the heroine, this character acts as her lackey. Whenever the heroine face-slaps the villainess, this character is just a useful tool.
Unfortunately, Yu Qingli transmigrates into this disposable character: the much-hated cousin of the Duke of Jing's household.
Petty and selfish, she sucks up to the powerful and tramples on the weak, all while dreaming of marrying her outstanding cousin, the heir to the title.
Remembering the original character's miserable fate, Yu Qingli clicks her tongue.
No matter. Her grand street-stall enterprise comes first. The heroine and villainess can both take a back seat.
All-natural skincare, innovative cosmetics, original jewelry and accessories...
With each new product, the ladies and young noblewomen of Great Zhao clamor to get their hands on it.
The Empress: “Qingli did my makeup for today's banquet.”
The Duke of Jing's Dowager Lady: “Qingli measured and designed this quilted vest herself. There's not another one like it in all the capital.”
The heroine and villainess: “Anyone who bullies our dear Qingli will have to answer to me first!”
Watching everyone put Yu Qingli on a pedestal, Jiang Xuzhi sneered. “Hmph. She's just showing off for attention.”
She's only doing this to catch his eye and become the heir's wife. He'd never let her get her way.
Yu Qingli brought out a set of saddle designs.
Jiang Xuzhi, entrusted with the important task of training the cavalry, said, “You win.”
Yu Qingli: “???”
She was doing it for the glory of Great Zhao!
Next book: When the Lanterns Meet
Shen Ji first met Susu one winter.
The girl in the trafficker's hands was as thin as a stick. On a whim, he paid for her, in a rare fit of kindness from a spoiled young nobleman.
But the little girl found a place in his heart. With the tip of her nose red and purple from the cold, she kowtowed and said in a bright voice, “Your servant is Susu. I will serve you well, Master.”
He pinched her frozen cheek and laughed, his tone as flippant as a joke. “I bought you, so you'd better stay mine for the rest of your life.”
“I will! Your servant will serve you for the rest of her life!”
-
Back then, Shen Ji was the capital's infamous flirtatious Fourth Young Master.
Though he had bought Susu, he promptly forgot about the little girl. One group of pretty maids after another passed through his household.
Then the Shen family fell. His parents were murdered, and the young master who had once lived in luxury became a stray dog anyone could bully.
Drunk and sprawled in the filth, he was dragged out by someone and found himself looking into a pair of astonishingly bright eyes.
It was Susu.
The young woman was frail, yet she carried the man with a steady strength. Her voice was deeper and louder than it had been in the snow all those years ago. “Fourth Master, I said I'd stay with you for life, and I will. Don't throw away your dignity as my master. Don't make me look down on you.”
Only then did Shen Ji realize that the servant girl he'd bought on a whim that winter was not merely a servant.
She was the only ray of light in the bleak, destitute half of his life that followed.
Once, he'd thought nothing of the young girl. Now, he felt that even giving her everything he had for the rest of his life wouldn't be enough.
Theme: Strive to improve and never give up.
There is a lot that has not been written. I always feel that the author has laid out a good framework, but there are a lot of things that have not been written. The explanation is a bit vague and the ending is hasty.
This, it's very important to give it to the embroiderer I recruited later. This does seem to make the heroine quite unintelligent.
I quite like the whole story line, but it does lack a lot of details. For example, the title clearly states that the heroine wants to set up a street stall, so at least it should focus on the process of the heroine getting rich. It would be nice if the emotional progression and transition included more of the male and female protagonists' mental journeys. From the description of the male protagonist, it can still be seen that he began to admire the female protagonist because she became excellent, but the description of the change in admiration and liking is not clear; while the female protagonist seems to have developed a revolutionary friendship with the male protagonist through many hardships and dangers by coincidence, so the description of how this fateful friendship changed qualitatively is also unclear. There is also the fact that the heroine hesitates to move to another country even though she clearly likes the hero. This shows that her relationship is still in a hazy and shallow stage, as if she can give up easily, which is contradictory to the deep love that can later lead to the battlefield alone. There is also a very important section where the heroine confesses her origins. Why should this part be omitted? This part can directly make the relationship between the hero and heroine further and firmer. If it is omitted directly, it will appear that the relationship is very weak. In fact, the writing style is quite pleasant to read, and I hope the author will improve more and more.
I gave the wrong message, I should have given it to a newly opened article
