If You Were a Frog at the Bottom of a Well

In her previous life, Xu Jingqing had fought, schemed, and deceived, but still failed to reach the highest position and become Crown Princess. In the end, to keep the Crown Prince's downfall from dragging her family down with him, she chose to drown herself at the Crown Prince's residence while pregnant, in full view of everyone.

After being reborn, Xu Jingqing looked back on everything from her girlhood. She admitted she was unremarkable, just an ordinary, worldly woman.

When she stopped competing for fame and fortune or climbing the social ladder, accepted her fate, and returned to the capital to seek refuge with relatives, she moved into the Duke of Wei's residence and relied on the Huo family father and son. After choosing a different way of life, her days grew more peaceful and better by the day. Not only did her younger brother pass the imperial exams and place third in the second tier, she also became one of the most sought-after candidates for a good daughter-in-law among the noblewomen of Heluo in the capital. Just as Xu Jingqing was preparing to pick a good husband from among Heluo's eligible young men, the eldest Huo son stepped forward and declared, "I'll marry you!"

Xu Jingqing: "I need to pick a good husband from among Heluo's eligible young men!"

Huo Ying: "Well, I count as one of Heluo's eligible young men."
