[Blurb] A lonely ghost who avoided hell and drifted through the human world for a thousand years one day possesses a corpse, inheriting the original owner's dilapidated house and two younger siblings as thin as sticks.

As a ghost, he had been lazy and carefree. Even as a living person, he still wanted a free and easy life, but the original owner wouldn't let him. Driven by the original owner's will, the ghost has no choice but to get rich, farm the land, and raise his younger siblings.

With the family already penniless, he scrapes together every last coin and reluctantly spends one tael of silver to buy a wife. His young bride is gentle, hardworking, and stubborn.

She's just too fond of crying. Her favorite person is Rong Shining, her favorite thing is working for Rong Shining, and her favorite food is the sickeningly sweet desserts Rong Shining makes. The thing that makes people feel most sorry for her is how she hides in Rong Shining's arms and cries.

To his dismay, despite all his years as both a person and a ghost, he has never met anyone who cries as much as A Le. She seems determined to cry until the Great Wall crumbles, and even his unruffled heart has softened under her tears.

A Le's tears make Rong Shining think his young wife is a delicate, dependent flower, but who would have guessed she was a man-eating plant? The two press on together: one rises to the highest ranks of government, the other makes a fortune, and in the end they live happily ever after, with plenty of shameless fun

[The upcoming story The Heir Returns from Exile is open for follows. Please add it to your reading list~~~]

Yan Xiu was born into the Great Shuo dynasty as the legitimate eldest son of Duke Yan. He could speak at one, write poetry at three, and was named the heir to the Duke of Yan at twenty. The emperor once praised him: "His features are like jade-stacked mountains, his bearing like rows of green pines. His beauty is peerless, unmatched in all the world."

Yan Xiu thought he was Heaven's chosen son, and devoted himself to serving his country and its people. Who could have known he would become someone else's stepping stone? At the height of his life, he was framed, disgraced, and abandoned by everyone. Finally exiled to the southern frontier, the elegant young master Changlin vanished from the capital forever.

Five years later, on the Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday, the emperor granted a general amnesty while praying for her good fortune. Yan Xiu was among those pardoned. When he returned, he was like an evil spirit crawling out of hell: gloomy and ruthless, no longer the celebrated man he had once been.

Yan Xiu plotted against everyone, one step at a time, but failed to account for the foolish girl who had only ever had eyes for him.

Guan Qingnian was the only daughter of Princess Anping. The emperor personally bestowed on her the title of Commandery Princess Jiahe. After her coming-of-age ceremony, she was betrothed to Yan Xiu, the young prodigy famous throughout the capital, making every young woman there envy her. Guan Qingnian married the man she had loved since childhood, believing they would be happy for the rest of their lives. Who could have guessed that on their wedding night, just as the candles were lit in their bridal chamber, her husband would be exiled? She was left alone in an empty room and became the laughingstock of the capital.

Later, as they lay together, their heads resting against each other, Yan Xiu asked, "Niannian, why did you wait for me?"

It was late at night. Guan Qingnian yawned and snuggled into Yan Xiu's arms, mumbling sleepily, "A Xiu is my husband."

Theme: Rely on each other, overcome every obstacle, and rise to the top.
