[Optimistic, hardworking young wife x gentle, considerate fisherman]
Ji Yao grew up in an orphanage. She had planned to live a peaceful life, find a family of her own, and be happy. But who would have thought she could transmigrate just by taking a bath after getting electrocuted?
Unbelievable. Seriously unbelievable.
And somehow she'd become a fisherman's simple-minded wife, with a five-year-old kid!
Wait, what was going on?
Other people transmigrate and get a fresh start, but did she just return to her roots?
Never mind. She'd make the best of it. At least she still had all the fish she loved for comfort.
Just as Ji Yao was about to settle into a sweet, happy life, she discovered that her amnesiac husband wasn't really a fisherman. He had another identity?
Good grief! Should she pack up and get out of there with her son, or cling to him and ride his coattails to the top?
Ji Yao thought men couldn't be relied on. It was better to make a living on her own and support herself and her little one. As for men, ha!
After Ji Yun regained his memories, he planned to reach the top with his own son. As for the boy's mother, he could find somewhere to keep her. But after returning from a fishing trip, he discovered that his simple-minded wife wasn't simple-minded anymore, and that her cooking was delicious.
What was he supposed to do? He was even less willing to leave her now.
Obviously, he'd stick with her for the rest of his life.
Little scene:
Ji Yan was in the inner room, reciting the passage his father had taught him that day:
"Fish is what I desire; bear's paw is also what I desire. If I cannot have both, I will give up fish and take bear's paw..."
Ji Yao listened for a while, then walked into the courtyard, lifted Ji Yun's chin, and raised an eyebrow.
"Fish is what I desire; Ji Yun is also what I desire. Only children have to choose. Of course I want both."
Ji Yun took the hand she'd reached out and gently rubbed it, smiling warmly. "In this life, I swear I won't leave you alone in bed."
Ji Yao froze, her cheeks turning red. She pulled her hand free and chided him, "You're so shameless."
