The Reborn Legitimate Daughter's Laid-Back Days

Lu Youran was the unloved legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis's household. Her father didn't care for her, and her stepmother was cruel. In her previous life, she competed with her stepsister at every turn. She never gained a thing from it, and while fighting over the chance to marry the legitimate son of a Duke's household, she was accidentally shoved into a fishpond and drowned.

After her death, Lu Youran wandered the manor for months as a lingering spirit, fuming with resentment. Not one person in the household mourned her, except for a servant she'd once saved, who came to pay respects at her grave.

But while wandering, she learned plenty of the household's secrets. She also saw that her stepsister, who had married into the Duke's household, was unhappy in her marriage.

Six months later, the enormous Marquis's manor was surrounded by the Imperial Guards and confiscated.

Only then did Lu Youran learn that the man she'd kindly picked up off the street, the servant who burned charcoal and chopped wood in the kitchen, was actually the current emperor's Fourth Prince, Prince Jing, a powerful military commander with an army at his command.

On the night the manor was confiscated, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A bolt of lightning struck, and Lu Youran was reborn.

Having lived another life, Lu Youran saw through it all. Men, household rivalries: she wanted nothing to do with them.

Now, all she wanted was to lie flat and be a lazy fish.

But before she could lie flat for good, she still had a few things to do.

First: Give her marriage prospect to her younger sister.

Second: Dig up the two chests of gold buried beneath the pear tree.

Third: Treat the kitchen servant better. She wouldn't dare make him chop wood again, so she'd temporarily assign him to stay by her side as a bodyguard.

Oh, and fourth: Learn to swim, so she could be a lazy fish that wouldn't drown.

And of course, fifth: Get out of there before the manor is confiscated!

With everything taken care of, Lu Youran prepared to take the gold and return to her maternal grandparents' home in Jiangnan, claiming she was going to meet a distant cousin. But the manor was surrounded by soldiers again. What was going on?

The kitchen servant, now in military armor, swung down from his horse. He'd been forced into hiding after an assassination attempt, and was none other than the powerful Prince Jing: "By my side, you can be the most comfortable, carefree lazy fish there is."
