Blurb:

Before being reborn, Qi Guanshu was the female head of the Qi family. Beautiful and refined, she was the most coveted prize in Yingchuan Province, yet none of her suitors could win her hand. She should have chosen a husband to marry into her family and spent her life with him.

But at a banquet, the genuine young master newly welcomed back by the provincial governor's mansion set his sights on her. When he failed to win her hand, his love turned to hatred, and he schemed to bring her family to ruin.

When she was left wandering the streets, all her former admirers turned their backs on her. Only the fake young master, now the son of a peasant woman, reached out to help her and keep her safe.

After being reborn, Qi Guanshu thought it over and quickly sent a betrothal offer, taking the fake young master as her husband.

But the fake young master, who had stood his ground against the genuine young master's bullying and even fought back, ran away just like that???

Gu Yunxi, son of the provincial governor, was well known throughout the region and a favored disciple of a great scholar. His life had been smooth sailing for years, and he was the very picture of a carefree young man, riding fine horses and dressing in fine silks.

Who could have guessed that first the true and fake young masters would be exposed, leaving him the son of a peasant woman, and then Yingchuan Province's richest woman would show up with a betrothal offer, determined to take him as her live-in husband?

He could keep his wealth, then!

Gu Yunxi had barely run off when he came across a peerless beauty who had been deceived.

She was lovely, as delicate and helpless as duckweed floating on water or willow fluff in the wind. He meant to rescue her out of pity, but she deliberately flirted with him and made the first move, winning him over step by step. Every glance from her beautiful eyes brimmed with charm.

Gu Yunxi kept his expression cool and told her again and again to keep her distance. But when she smiled sweetly at someone else, he finally couldn't hold back. He wrapped an arm possessively around her slender waist and gritted his teeth in displeasure.

After being flirted with this much, it would be hard to explain if he didn't marry her!

Gu Yunxi always knew that this beauty had a fiance who had run away from their engagement. He was the one who had left her in such dire straits, and Gu Yunxi had been privately jealous and deeply bothered by it.

Then, after he passed one exam after another, Qi Guanshu finally said she would take him home to meet her father.

There he stood before a grand, imposing mansion, the two large characters "Qi Guan" on its plaque, and his loving wife beside him.

Was I the scoundrel all along?

Gu Yunxi: "Were you abandoned, or were you deliberately baiting me?"

Qi Guanshu's eyes danced. "Wouldn't you be happy to save thirty years of hard work?"

Author's notes:

1. Imperial examinations and farming.

2. The setting is entirely fictional and all my own. If you want to curse, curse at your keyboard (the keyboard gained sentience and typed it by itself).

3. One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending.

The third daughter-in-law of the He family has a secret: she is the daughter of a knife-credit seller.

She grew up traveling far and wide with her father. On the surface, they sold knives on credit and collected debts, but in truth, they earned their living by selling predictions of the future.

Chi Wanzhao is exceptionally gifted, bold, and outspoken. From the emperor on his throne to the humblest farmer, there is no fate she can't see through, and no prophecy she dares not sell on credit.

Every prediction she makes comes true.

So here's the question: how can she put the debts she collects toward household expenses without revealing who she is? If she keeps this up, there won't be anywhere left in the courtyard to bury all the money!

Chi Wanzhao: I guess I was just too good at predicting the future. Now people pay me back every day.

The He family's third son has always been an odd one.

He is handsome, sure, but after returning from years away, he started acting strange. He turned down every match with increasingly bizarre excuses.

Either the woman was destined for riches and a meteoric rise, or her family was fated for disaster and ruin. He ended up blacklisted throughout the surrounding villages, leaving the entire He family in a state of anxious despair.

Then one day, the He matriarch invited the daughter of the new neighbors to visit. At last, he spoke: "Our birth charts are compatible. I can marry her."

From then on, the He family's fortunes, once reduced to bare walls, suddenly improved.

Yesterday, his sister-in-law dug up gold in the fields. Today, his eldest brother gave someone directions and was forced to accept silver. Tomorrow, the third son and his wife would bring home a pair of golden children.

Gold and silver poured into the He home like a flowing stream.

As the He family grew richer by the day, the entire village was dumbfounded.

Had the He family married a treasure vault?
