"Snowy foam of tea floats in my midday cup; I try tender shoots of smartweed and mugwort with bamboo shoots on my spring platter. The finest flavor in this world is simple joy."
Jiang Yuan was born into an official's family, raised in an official's family, and naturally married into one as well.
She manages the household as its lady while savoring the simple pleasures of life.
A few notes:
1. The heroine is from ancient times. However advanced her thinking may be, she can't escape the limitations of her era.
2. The characters' values are not necessarily the author's.
3. The story is mostly about food, drink, and everyday life in ancient times, as well as the hero's ups and downs in officialdom.
4. The dynasty is fictional. Please don't nitpick the historical details.
Theme: A story about a young woman of an ancient noble family working hard to make a living and prosper through diligence.
Great, the ending is very charming, I like and agree with your thinking very much. Compared with the common lifelong-two-person innocence, I prefer the innocence you expressed from another angle. It is more plain, universal and precious. It is a gentle knife covered with sugar, just like a candied haws. The sugar coating is sour on the outside and is sour on the inside, making people unable to help but taste it. There are no perfect people, perfect love, or perfect life in this world, and there is no unwavering love at first sight. There is only the stumbling life itself, and the feelings gained from life, which will last forever through time and hardship.
Ah, it's a pity that there is no extra episode.
Follow all the way to the end! Looks good!
Thank you, you gave me a completely different reading experience

Another bloody storm
Looking for another woman's child is a shame.
