The Legend of Jiang Yuyan

I heard someone complain, asking why I didn't focus on my career, instead losing my life over a man?

Starting today, I, Jiang Yuyan, will show you what it looks like when a woman takes her career seriously!

A genuinely short story, just a little palate cleanser. Don't take it too seriously!

If you like the blurb below, please add it to your collection. I'm begging you! Thank you, dear readers.

See how a transmigrated girl from the Dream of the Red Chamber changes her fate: "[Dream of the Red Chamber] Does Xue Bawang Have to Kneel on the Washboard Today?"

Blurb:

Zhen Yinglian used to be the youngest daughter of a modern martial arts school. One day, she transmigrated into the Dream of the Red Chamber as the unfortunate Zhen Yinglian, and she was still just a newborn baby. All she wanted to do was curse.

Zhen Yinglian used to be the youngest daughter of a modern martial arts school. One day, she transmigrated into the Dream of the Red Chamber as the unfortunate Zhen Yinglian, and she was still just a newborn baby. All she wanted to do was curse.

To avoid becoming someone who truly deserves pity, Zhen Yinglian works hard to master both pen and sword. She can handle an abacus, beat up human traffickers, and keep her husband in line. Before she knows it, she has become the Ministry of Revenue's minister in the Dream of the Red Chamber, despite being a woman.

The first time she meets the Foolish Overlord:

Xue Pan saunters over, handsome and rakish, and lifts Zhen Yinglian's chin with a flirtatious smile. "My dear, you're quite a beauty. Why don't you come with me, Master Xue? I'll make sure you eat and drink well. You'll have anything you want!"

Zhen Yinglian gazes at him with tearful, soulful eyes and shyly glances his way. "If you send eight sedan chairs to escort me into your home, then this humble girl will say yes."

Xue Pan slaps his hand down. "All right! Wait here, my dear. I'm going to get my mother and have her come ask for your hand!"

After their wedding, the Foolish Overlord chats with his friends.

Friend: "Young Master Xue, I hear that tigress of a wife of yours keeps you on a tight leash. She won't let you go to the Feiyan House, drink, or even touch another woman. Is that true?"

Xue Pan scoffs and snaps open his fan. "Of course not!"

Friend: "I also heard your wife says she'll make you kneel on a washboard if you fail the imperial exam and don't place third?"

Xue Pan scowls. "Nonsense! Who dares make me kneel on a washboard? I'll break her legs!"

Zhen Yinglian steps out from behind him and sneers. "Oh? You're going to break my legs?"

Xue Pan turns around, his knees giving way. He points at his friend. "Wife, I meant I'd break his legs!"
