The joys of catching up on gossip and watching the show in ancient times.

The Gu family of the capital had twelve daughters between its two branches. Gu Yun'er was the youngest daughter of the second branch and ninth in birth order.

Born into this era, Gu Yun had died of overwork in her previous life. In this life, she refused to push herself too hard, and was quick to lie down and relax.

After all, what kind of society was this? Girls had to marry by the time they were fifteen or sixteen. Gu Yun saw marriage as a sentence to hard labor, so while she could still stay at home, she was going to enjoy herself as much as possible.

Defy her legitimate mother? Not a chance!

Compete with her legitimate older sister for attention? Impossible!

Scheme and fight for power at home? She didn't have the skills!

She just strolled around with her hands behind her back, going fishing and riding horses with her retired grandfather. She spent every day hanging around her grandmother's rooms, mooching food and drink. When she got bored, she visited and explored the homes of her married sisters.

She was more relaxed and content than anyone!

One day, her grandmother's nephew's great-grandson came to propose marriage.

Gu Yun tilted her chin up and said, "Ah." A few seconds later, she added, "Isn't he a generation too far removed?"
