The Madam Only Wants to Eat, Drink, and Have Fun

Le Ning died suddenly from overwork and woke up to discover she had transmigrated into the heir's wife at Prince Jingkang's residence.

Given the chance to live again, Le Ning was smugly content to take things as they came, both with people and with life:

Her mother died young:

No need to burden her father or mother, just support herself and sing her own song.

Her father didn't care for her, and her stepmother didn't love her:

Out of sight, out of mind. She could eat, drink, and have fun without anyone getting in her way.

Her husband loved the original owner's younger sister:

No worries. This young lady has grand ambitions of making money. If love gets in the way of wealth, love can go.

Her lifelong dreams were:

1. Earn more money than she could ever spend, and live a carefree life of luxury, eating, drinking, and having fun.

2. Get away from her detestable husband, younger sister, father, and stepmother.

Her second wish came true soon enough.

At the racetrack, her gallant younger sister suddenly fell from her horse, landing right in front of Le Ning, by pure coincidence.

As her husband's icy gaze slowly turned toward her, Le Ning thought: There's no getting out of this blame. I might as well divorce him on the spot.

The divorce caused an uproar. Everyone said Le Ning was a fool. Her father didn't care for her, her mother didn't love her, and now she was divorcing a powerful heir. Surely she'd end up living rough, with no decent clothes and working like an ox, losing her beauty and ending up ruined in her old age...

Le Ning just smiled, then rented a shop near the Zuixian Restaurant and several acres of farmland outside the city.

Living rough?

Le Ning brought out freshly baked cream cakes, newly picked seedless watermelons, huge cherries, and more...

Everyone flocked over: Delicious!

No decent clothes?

Le Ning put her newly designed dresses on display.

Everyone flocked over: So beautiful!

Working like an ox?

You mean the heir Gu Zichen, who comes to my shop every day to work while desperately pursuing my maid?

Everyone: !

The heir is pursuing his ex-wife's maid?

Is this some new kind of chasing-your-ex-wife-to-the-crematorium routine?

As for whether she'll be able to preserve her virtue in old age, that depends on whether the carefree General Liao can mend his ways.

If he proves himself, I don't care whether I preserve my virtue or not. This richest woman is willing to marry again!

*

Three years later, General Liao returned victorious from the border. Passing Le Ning's little shop, he glanced at the woman peeking out from its doorway, then swung down from his horse.

Le Ning smiled and came forward. "General, would you like some cake or fruit?"

Liao Yuntian's red robes fluttered in the wind, his gaze burning. "I've come to ask for your hand in marriage."

Content warnings:

1. The original owner is still alive, and she transmigrated too.

2. Both leads have had no previous partners. A sweet, everyday romance, not an overpowered power fantasy, just a gentle love story.

My friend's novel, Not a Substitute, but My Light, will open for serialization in three days. Please add it to your reading list! I'm rolling around and begging for follows, thank you! Here's the blurb:

On her twenty-third birthday, Li Luoluo brought her boyfriend Su Hao home. Before they could even enter, Su Hao pinned her against the door.

As they kissed passionately, Li Luoluo suddenly sensed something strange in the air.

She opened her eyes and met a pair of cool, handsome eyes: those of her first love, Gu Changqing, standing not far away and watching as her boyfriend pinned her against the wall.

Li Luoluo hurriedly pushed her boyfriend away...

"Sorry to interrupt. Carry on."

"By the way, I'm your new neighbor."

Gu Changqing walked into the elevator as if nothing had happened.

After a night of intimacy, Li Luoluo discovered the next day that Su Hao had cheated on her, and with more than one person.

Meanwhile, her first love, the only son of a wealthy family and the heartthrob of Qingqu No. 1 High School, Gu Changqing, was exposed as not being a biological member of the Gu family.

The rightful heir had returned, and Gu Changqing, the fake heir, was ruthlessly thrown out by the wealthy family.

No wonder...he had moved into the apartment across from hers.

One day, as Li Luoluo was leaving for work, she found Gu Changqing lying on the ground, barely alive. She hurriedly took him to the hospital.

Only later did she learn that this white moonlight, whom she had treasured in her heart throughout high school, had been tricked into donating a kidney...

That evening, Li Luoluo invited Gu Changqing over for dinner, opened a bottle of fine wine she had been saving, and drank it herself.

As the alcohol took hold, she put an arm around Gu Changqing's shoulders. "Stop living across the hall. Move in with me."

Gu Changqing: "But your boyfriend..."

Li Luoluo: "That scumbag cheated on me. We broke up!"

Gu Changqing: "Then what about me..."

Li Luoluo: "I'll pay all the rent. From now on, I'll take care of you!"

Later, the abandoned son of a wealthy family she had taken in transformed into the CEO of a promising new company.

He pinned Li Luoluo against the door. "It's my turn to take care of you."

Li Luoluo kissed him first. "We'll take care of each other."
