Reader's Guide: The heroine is reborn, and the hero transmigrates. [Blurb] In her previous life, Cui Qiqi was blind as a bat. The daughter of a distinguished military family, she reined in all her sharp edges for the sake of Xie Sanlang, determined to be a virtuous wife and stay by his side with gentle, tender devotion. In the end, though, she was no match for the tender-hearted beauty he had always cherished, and her life ended in tragedy. Reborn on the day she was supposed to ask for his hand in marriage, Cui Qiqi decisively changed her mind and decided to take in a husband instead. She even chose a lowly street vendor. Everyone in the capital thought she had gone mad and waited for her to become a laughingstock. Cui Qiqi didn't care. A live-in son-in-law was just a lucky charm to display in the back courtyard. Lin Chuyi had never imagined that, right after transmigrating to an unfamiliar ancient world and deciding to sell sweet drinks to make a living, he would somehow end up being chosen as someone's husband and joining her household. On their wedding night, Cui Qiqi told her new husband, Lin Chuyi, "We're just business partners. As long as you keep your side of the agreement, I'll set you free." Lin Chuyi, who only wanted to live off his wife and lounge around doing nothing, couldn't have been happier. "Deal." The very next day, Cui Qiqi petitioned to be sent to the frontier. She had never expected that, while she fought the enemy at the border, the machinations of the court would hold her back. When someone withheld provisions from her army, Lin Chuyi went thousands of miles on his own to deliver supplies to her. When enemy troops surrounded her, Lin Chuyi used his silver tongue to persuade other generals to send reinforcements. Before she knew it, the husband she had taken in had become her steadfast support. By the time she returned victorious to the capital, her husband had also brought the entire Duke's household into perfect order and prosperity. Everyone in the mansion who had once looked down on him now trusted him completely. Cui Qiqi: "Perhaps we can cancel our agreement." Lin Chuyi's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he hurried to greet her. But instead of asking after her health, he demanded a divorce. They had agreed from the start that she would let him leave when she returned. Cui Qiqi narrowed her eyes and leaned close. "You want to divorce me?" Lin Chuyi looked resolute. "Yes. We have to!" Cui Qiqi's lips curled into a smile. She grabbed him by the collar and dragged him into their room. "Divorce, my foot! Come on, we're making up for our wedding night first!" The next day, Lin Chuyi cried out in indignation, "Cui Qiqi! I'll restore a husband's authority in this house if it's the last thing I do!" [Upcoming Novel: My Husband Is a First-Rank Chancellor] Song Xiaoxiao had just finished reading a book when she transmigrated into the story as a disposable female character. In the book, Song Xiaoxiao came from a poor family. Her father didn't care for her, and her mother didn't love her. Her family sold her to a wealthy household as a maid for money. She struggled to survive in that dangerous mansion, but didn't make it to the end. Song Xiaoxiao, now transmigrated into the story: I really can't thank you enough! She wasn't about to become a sacrificial extra. While her parents were discussing selling her, she packed her things and ran off to marry the poor scholar in her village. He might have been poor, but at least he had a decent face. Looking at him every day would be a treat. When the poor scholar looked at her in confusion, Song Xiaoxiao spoke to him like an old friend. "Gu Sanlang, don't be afraid. You don't have to support me just because I married you. I'll make and sell tofu pudding for money. You just focus on your studies and leave the finances to me." Selling tofu pudding, Song Xiaoxiao not only transformed their home, but also supported the poor scholar all the way to the capital, where he passed the highest imperial examination. Step by step, he rose to the highest rank and became chancellor. The current chancellor, Gu Xun, held power over the empire and was ruthless. A single stamp of his foot was enough to leave officials throughout the court trembling in fear. Song Xiaoxiao was terrified. Why did the chancellor's name sound so familiar? Wasn't he the villainous mastermind from the book? Waaah! Is it too late for me to run away? Song Xiaoxiao, caught trying to escape: ... Gu Xun gently lifted her chin with a finger, narrowed his eyes, and flashed a wicked smile. "My dear wife, where do you think you're going?" Trapped in a corner with nowhere to flee, Song Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened and tears welled up. "Mmm..." ~~ [Bonus Scene] Everyone in the capital was waiting to see when the first-rank chancellor would divorce his poor, humble wife, who had been with him since his days of hardship. But year after year, they waited in vain. The couple even had several children, and still there was no news of a divorce. He didn't even take a concubine. Who could have imagined that a man like Gu Xun would return home and carefully smile at his wife? "My lady, I was late because I was swamped with work today. Did you really not save me a bowl of tofu pudding?" Song Xiaoxiao: "What delicacies have you not tasted, Lord Chancellor? You really don't need to deprive yourself over a bowl of tofu pudding." "How could it be the same? Only the tofu pudding my wife makes herself suits my taste."
