This novel's blurb:
Yao Jinzhi was forced by her stepmother into a bridal sedan, to be married to a nearly fifty-year-old widower from the neighboring village.
Inside the sedan, Yao Jinzhi struggled desperately. Red silk bound her wrists until they bled, and a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth kept her from crying out.
Tears of despair streamed down her cheeks. Watching the curtains sway, she suddenly hurled herself at the sedan door.
The bridal sedan was crossing a small wooden bridge at the village entrance. Yao Jinzhi flung herself with such force that she fell into the rushing river.
When she opened her eyes again, her stepmother had sold her off once more, this time to Chen Ergou, a poor man at the foot of the mountain who couldn't even afford salt.
Chen Ergou was taciturn and ruthless. He was usually dressed in ragged clothes, his bloodstained face set in a cold expression. The villagers didn't dare look at him, let alone speak to him.
She prepared herself for a life of fear and hardship, but after moving in, things weren't nearly as terrifying or arduous as she'd imagined. Not only did she get enough to eat every day, she even got meat.
She thought life would go on like this: poor but peaceful. If she spent her whole life this way, she would still count herself fortunate.
But she never expected her greatest good fortune was still to come. An imperial decree arrived, and just after she came through the door with Dahei and Erhuang, she suddenly became the Prime Minister's wife.
The male lead's story:
In his previous life, Chen Linxiao was a minister who aided the state and held the post of Left Chancellor. For the sake of the people and the late emperor's trust, he worked diligently, always walking on eggshells.
He was refined and elegant, with a calm and scholarly air, and he held a high position. Matchmakers trampled the iron threshold of the Prime Minister's residence, but he had no interest in starting a family.
He devoted himself entirely to assisting the young emperor and securing the people's welfare. In the end, he died of overwork at just twenty-eight.
Reborn in the third year after his father's death, the very year he was due to sit the imperial examinations, he suddenly felt a weight lift from his shoulders. He had lived too exhausting a life before. This time, he just wanted to rest. Becoming a hunter seemed like a pretty good choice.
But when he looked at the little wife at home, hardworking and frail, he sighed. He could live in poverty, but he couldn't let his wife suffer on gruel and wild greens too. He'd have to find a way to fatten her up.

Reader advisory: 1. A farming-life story. The first half is slow-paced and focused on everyday life; the pace picks up in the second half.
2. Although the female lead is capable, she still can't escape the author's two hands that only know how to write naive, sweet heroines.
This novel will be available for purchase on Friday, March 3. Please keep supporting it!
Theme: Cherish everything you have.
The writing is very good. I have always liked this kind of writing, but there are really very few that attract me and I can read to the end. I am a science student and I don't care about most of the etiquette, rule of law and other things in ancient times. For me, it is fundamental that the logic is correct. But this is not the case with most of this kind of writing. Maybe I am picky about logic.
I want to say something, but don't you understand what kind of children's shelter the heroine is here? There are so many children now that I have a headache remembering their names. I can understand the feeling of helping people, but I feel that some plots are a bit distorted. Although the protagonist's family is cheating (referring to the male protagonist's ability), it is not rich enough to take care of everything. Taking a step back, the male protagonist is actually a scholar on the surface, and his status as a scholar is very high, but even if a scholar is a scholar, his family background cannot be much better. I know I want to take the main line, but it still feels awkward. Another point is that the little girl can't help but call her mother, which is very strange. From a normal point of view, children have a sense of shame, such as in the bathing scene, but here, even if she calls her aunt (similar to the current aunt) or calls her master's wife with her brother, it feels more smooth than calling her mother. I know this may be to show the kindness of the heroine or something, but it always feels a bit strange. Also, can you help me recall where it was said that the heroine's carpenter skills are better? I always feel that this setting was filled in from the previous chapters, and it's quite abrupt.
Mr. Wen Shan's words will soon be worth a fortune...

Marriage is good, isn't there a saying? If you are kind to someone, raise a daughter to marry him; if you are hostile to someone, raise a daughter to marry him! Ha ha
