[My mistake... I wrote this draft ages and ages ago and put it in my drafts folder, then completely forgot about it. TAT It's all because of my bad habit of dumping random things into my drafts folder. Don't read this one, I haven't written it. I'm saving up drafts for another book.]
When Fu Tao was assigned to a university major in postpartum care for sows, she never imagined that one day she could make a fortune from it.
After an accident, she transmigrates into the new bride of the poorest family in the whole village.
Her husband is a lame mama's boy, and her mother-in-law is a shrew.
The family is so poor that all they have left is a sow they picked up along the road.
And the sow is having a difficult birth.
Fu Tao: Well, that's perfect!
She delivers the piglets, provides postpartum care, raises them until they're fat, and builds a complete path to prosperity.
Every pig she handles grows plump and healthy, with tender meat. They have plenty of returning customers, and demand is greater than supply.
With her pig-raising skills, their family rises to become the richest in the village.
Her husband and mother-in-law: Taotao, you're the lucky star of our family. About your younger sister-in-law's dowry...
Fu Tao smiles. "Sign the divorce agreement first, then we can haggle."
A nationwide chain of pig farms, farming classes... A rich businesswoman joins the ranks of Jiangnan's wealthy merchants.
Countless pretty boys come flocking, hoping to get close to the rich woman. They pray and wait for her to divorce.
Fu Tao, who only wants to build her career: "Thanks. Raising pigs makes me money. Keeping a man would only cost me money. Goodbye, and don't let the door hit you on the way out."
Until one day, she finds an incredibly handsome man in the mountains. He's so much to her taste that Fu Tao is more than willing to take him home, treat his illness, and spend lots and lots of money on him.
As their passion deepens, Fu Tao starts wondering whether she should promote him from lover to husband.
She sends a betrothal letter to the address Shen Lingchuan gave her. When the reply arrives, someone tells Fu Tao that the seal printed on the letter is the personal seal of Prince Yan.
Fu Tao: Oh!
