A Virtuous Wife at Home

(An earnest, clingy Imperial Censor Sun Yu vs. the rational, gentle Meng Xian. A story about overcoming strength with gentleness, marriage first and love later, with a slice-of-life style.)

"Madam, our master has once again played Santa Claus and been swindled out of five taels of silver..."

"Madam, the master got into an argument with the Minister of Rites. He insists that Noble Consort Yu is unworthy of her position and is demanding that His Majesty judge the matter fairly..."

"Madam, the master petitioned on behalf of the people and impeached the Prime Minister. He's making a fuss about dying in protest..."

"Mm, got it. Go ask him one more time whether he'll be home for dinner tonight." Meng Xian calmly set down the abacus in her hand and gave the order without even looking up.

The couple had been married for five years, and Meng Xian was used to this sort of alarming news. As long as they didn't bring him home on a stretcher, she didn't think it was a big deal.

Little Scene:

Sun Yun: Xian, why aren't you even worried about me?

Meng Xian: Oh, I had someone read your fortune. Your birth chart is strong. You'll have lots of minor troubles, but it's nothing serious. Under normal circumstances, you won't die.

Sun Yun: Xian, you don't love me anymore.

Meng Xian: ...

Coming soon: Yong'an Town

(A secretly sentimental, unlucky young master vs. a streetwise, roguish tavern owner)

Sun Chan has never left Yong'an Town for as long as she can remember. Her mother is here, her family's tavern is here, and so are all the kind, warm-hearted neighbors.

She spent her childhood wandering the streets and alleys, and her mother never tried to control her, letting her grow up however she liked.

As a result, after years of building connections, she has friends all over Yong'an Town. Whenever she needs help, all she has to do is ask, and most people her age, men and women alike, will do her a favor.

Later, she met the legendary Third Young Master of the Tang family, and suddenly found herself with endless things to worry about. Her dreams of roaming the world with a sword and righting wrongs gradually faded, and she found herself growing ever more attached to this little town.

Years later, Tang Xing holds Sun Chan close and asks softly, "Chan, the world is vast and full of all kinds of people. Shall we travel together?"

Sun Chan pushes him away and stands face-to-face with him. Her gaze meets Tang Xing's bright eyes. After a moment's thought, she replies carefully, "Mm, we'll have to think about that some more."

Little Scene:

Shen Jiaojiao: Sigh! Are there no handsome young men in our town?

Sun Chan: There are! Look, isn't there one in the water?

Tang Xing, who accidentally fell into the water...

Note: A small-town story, with some mystery-solving.

Theme: Sticking together through thick and thin, with understanding and acceptance
