Splendid Countryside

The teaser for my upcoming story is at the very bottom, cuties, feel free to check it out!

[Story blurb] The main story is complete!

Yuan Xiu entered the palace at six and spent the next twenty years living cautiously. She gave away most of her fortune and flattered the female official in charge of the Imperial Food Bureau at every opportunity before finally escaping that treacherous den of snakes and scorpions.

Twenty years had changed everything. Now only her frail, elderly parents remained at home, living with her nieces and nephews.

Yuan Xiu used what little fortune she had left to buy farmland and property, then stood tall and took on the burden of supporting her family. It was tiring, but compared to becoming a wronged ghost at the bottom of a well, being given to a nobleman as a concubine, or growing old into a palace matron, she felt she'd chosen the right path.

Old Imperial Physician Jiang was pushed out of the palace and sent home. Naturally, young Imperial Physician Jiang went back with him.

A new clinic opened in the county. They said the doctor there used to be an imperial physician.

When Yuan Xiu heard about it, she took her father there to have his leg treated, never expecting to run into young Imperial Physician Jiang again.

They exchanged smiles.

A few years earlier, young Imperial Physician Jiang had saved her life.

A few more years before that, young Imperial Physician Jiang had eaten her pastries.

[I looked everywhere for an ancient-era farming story and couldn't find one, so I'm writing one myself. Haha, it's a story full of the warmth of everyday life.]

Theme: Put your heart into experiencing life, and you'll reap the rewards.
