[Novel blurb]
Shen San, who grew up around brothels, had one great dream: earn a little money, find a refined and mild-mannered husband, and raise a few obedient, filial children.
But things never go according to plan. Her adoptive mother, Erniang, even tried to hang herself just to make Shen San seek out her biological father.
Her father had a handsome face, so much like her own, but the moment he opened his mouth, he called her a shameless scoundrel. All Shen San wanted was to leave the marquis's residence without a scratch.
Who knew that, despite her confidence, she'd end up sinking deeper and deeper into the marquis's residence? She had to persuade her father to make arrangements for her legitimate mother, keep her half-brothers with their own agendas in line, earn money and plan an escape route, and watch out for the marquis's sworn enemy. But that enemy was looking at her in a more and more suspicious way.

Gu Qian, the sole heir of his family, stood on his courtyard wall and stared at a corner of the roof across the way. He gave a cold laugh.
They said he was a homosexual? Then he'd make Shen San, that young master, one too!
They were separated by generations of enmity? Just wait and see him marry into the marquis's family and become its beloved son-in-law!

Puyu: Qian is what I want, and Xi is what I want, too!

A heroine who disguises herself as a man and only wants to make money and find a husband for herself, beautiful and bold VS a cold-faced marquis with a thin skin and an overwhelming presence, burdened by old family grudges
Coming next: The Peacock Flies Southeast
Buddha says, “Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.”
Cong Sheng saved someone's life, but it turned her from a bride in a grand sedan chair into a lowly concubine.
Fortunately, she doesn't believe in Buddha.
She believes in the Dao.
Wei Ya, a cavalry general from a distinguished family, had studied both literature and martial arts since childhood and mastered the art of war. He was determined to reclaim Ning's lost lands and rebuild the northern defenses. To achieve that, he even wore a flower in his hair and entered the selection process, seeking to marry Princess Fujia and hoping she could sway the emperor to help him accomplish his great ambition.
But on the day of the selection, a trusted aide brought him news: his newly acquired concubine had run away, and no one knew where she was.
The wine cup in his hand crumbled to dust, while the princess turned her attention to a fair-faced scholar nearby.
Years passed. He was still alone, but at a banquet hosted by the princess, he saw someone who had come back from the dead.
She wore red like a flame, her features unchanged. She held the hand of a child of three or four who looked exactly like him, yet called someone else “Father.”
Preorder: Reborn as the Lazy Big Sister
After their parents died young, Zhou Mo played both father and mother, raising her younger siblings to adulthood. But the children she'd raised one by one turned out to be useless.
Her eldest younger brother was tall and burly, but all bluster and no substance. Someone took his job, his wife ran off with another man, and someone even stole the last few acres of ancestral land. All he could do was hold his child and cry to her.
The second was the son of a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, yet spent his days with ruffians, stealing chickens and dogs and getting into fights. Now and then, he even brought people to extort his own sister. In the end, he was sentenced to death for murder, before he had even turned eighteen.
But the one who broke her heart most was her second younger sister, Zhou Yuan. Zhou Mo had always worried about her weak constitution and never made her do any work or even sew a single stitch. She said nothing when her sister took her jewelry, and didn't get angry when she ruined her wedding dress. She even humbled herself and asked her mother-in-law to find her a good match. Yet her sister still wasn't satisfied. She resented Zhou Mo, envied her, hated her, and finally slept with Zhou Mo's husband while Zhou Mo was giving birth, driving her to her death on the birthing bed.
The only one who brought her comfort was her youngest sister. Sadly, that sensible, clever child died young of a bad cold.
The once-prosperous Zhou family, with its successful scholars, had not a single member meet a good end.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the past. In this new life, she only wanted to pack her things and leave, never again caring for the demons who sucked her blood and devoured her flesh.
But the people she couldn't wait to abandon clung to her and said, “Big sister, don't be afraid. We'll protect you from now on!”
People gossiped that she was too old to marry and that she was a disgrace. The youngest top scholar in the empire wrote an Ode to the Big Sister, which spread through the streets and alleys. Even the emperor knew of Zhou Mo, the big sister of the Zhou family, who was like the great mother Mencius.
Her scumbag ex-husband and mother-in-law from her previous life came demanding that she honor their marriage agreement. The seventeen-year-old top military candidate punched them until their faces were swollen like pig heads and tossed them out of the courtyard.
Someone said she was ugly and dressed even worse. The owner of Splendid Brocade Shop planted her hands on her hips and ordered her maids and matrons, “Go on, all of you! Show them what a beautiful woman in splendid brocade looks like!”
The owner of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant took her hand and spoke softly. “Big sister, don't be shy. That person has waited for you for years. Won't you take another look?”
That person said, “The flowers bloom along the road. You can take your time coming home.”

Theme: Face reality and work hard to live.
The official male protagonist is not worthy of the female protagonist, it's a pity
Ah, at the end, there weren't even many sex scenes. There were only a handful of kisses in the whole story. I shed tears.
Ah, Puyu is a perfect hero of redemption stories in other stories. He is so pitiful. What a pity.
Let's do a side story! It's really a rare good article. It has a good plot and emotions. The heroine is bold and righteous, loves and hates. The background setting is very sophisticated, and the words and language are also exquisite. It can be seen that it has been carefully written. There are still many typos, especially in the back part.
I'm really speechless. What kind of emperor do you think you are?
"Mo Qi" is a huge thorn in the side of the author~
"Yong" is a big thorn in the side of the author~it must be Gu Qian
The heroine is not blind at all;
Can you make Hercules a woman and match it to the Third Prince? This would be too miserable.
Wow, is this the end? Please write in capital letters about the post-marriage extra story.
