The first goal is easy, thanks to being born into a good family. To achieve the second, Meng Yuning diligently learns her craft and takes matchmaking seriously. Just as her financial prospects are looking bright, her younger cousin gets into an argument with the only son of the neighboring family. The other boy injures his leg by accident, and while the neighbors shout threats, Meng Yuning decides to pretend she has temporarily lost her voice, so the other family can feel a little better. Both families suffer losses. Her younger brother is safe, but the marriage match that was almost settled falls through. Meng Yuning thinks it doesn't matter whether the match works out. The real problem is how unbearable it is to be unable to speak. Her father, who has been helping her keep up the act, takes her out for some fresh air. At last able to speak again, Meng Yuning is discussing what tasty food to go get with her father when someone rushing through the intersection nearly knocks her down. Fortunately, the person reacts quickly, sparing Meng Yuning the embarrassment of being knocked over in the street. Admiring the man's impressive core strength, she looks up and realizes he's Zheng Yize, the man from the neighboring village who has trouble walking... Blurb: Qiu Yuruo's parents die one after another when she has just come of age. She accidentally transmigrates to ancient times, only to find herself an orphan once again. Qiu Yuruo has no choice but to live with her grandparents. To survive, she takes her cousin's place and marries Su Yunting, who has also lost both parents and has three younger siblings, in a wedding meant to ward off his illness. At home, she finds an unconscious young man, a growing boy who's up to no good, and two frail little girls. To keep the family from starving, Qiu Yuruo sets out with the three younger siblings to scrape by and fight for survival. The four of them have no strength to speak of and little education, but fortunately Qiu Yuruo is a good cook. She opens a small food stall beside the main road, not only making a thriving living but also sending her younger brother back to school. When greedy relatives come to take advantage of them, she grabs a cleaver and fights back. When her younger sister falls ill, Qiu Yuruo spends every last coin she has on treatment. She is also generous to her nominal husband, who is almost certain never to wake up. After all, thanks to him, she has a home and three adorable younger siblings. Just as Qiu Yuruo is enjoying a happy life with a home and a business, raising the children, Su Yunting, whom she was sure would never regain consciousness, wakes up! As everyone congratulates them, Qiu Yuruo is so startled she just wants to be left alone for a while. (The male lead's perspective) Su Yunting lived alone all his life, yet reached the end of his days. When he opens his eyes again, he is back to the time when he was young and unconscious. He thought this life would mean experiencing clearly as each of his loved ones left him, one by one. He never expected his former fiancee, who had drowned herself in a river in his previous life, to marry him after all. With her in the family, his younger brother, who would have broken his leg and grown gloomy, is even more cheerful than he was as a child. His younger sister, who would have been the first to die, is lively and healthy now that they can afford her medical care. As he feels her care and hears her share her joys and sorrows, he longs to open his eyes: to take the heavy shoulder pole from her when she goes out, to put medicine on her hand when she burns it, and to let her lean on him when she's tired... This is a story where a jinx and a lifelong loner turn out to be a perfect match. Coming soon: My Lady, Look at Me. Please add it to your reading list. Shen Mingyao has had a rough life. Before she has even come of age, hardship has made her shrewd and worldly. Wei Chu was born into a prominent family, but belongs to a collateral branch. He looks impressive when he goes out, but at home his family is short on money. To live comfortably, the two of them use their connections to run several businesses together and earn themselves a little renown. Shen Mingyao picks a well-born young gentleman from a comfortable family as her future husband. Wei Chu says, “Spend too long with an idiot, and you'll become stupid too!” Since that won't work, Shen Mingyao turns around and picks someone clever instead. Wei Chu objects again: “If you marry him, you'd better sleep with one eye open. By morning, your businesses could all belong to him.” An idiot won't do, and neither will a clever man. Shen Mingyao decides to find a military officer instead. Wei Chu grits his teeth. “You finally made it from the borderlands to the capital, and now you're picking a military officer. Do you miss your hometown that much?” Shen Mingyao sighs. “Choosing a man is so hard. I want to take a break.” Wei Chu corners her in the silver vault, his eyes no longer hiding his affection. “You keep looking everywhere else. When will you finally see the person right beside you?” The silver in Shen Mingyao's hand drops to the floor. “Didn't we agree to help each other? How can you be thinking of keeping it in the family?” Theme: Fill your heart with sunshine, and the world will be full of beauty.
