Zhang Yunxiu is a renowned embroiderer far and wide. Now 23, she is still unmarried.

Suitors have crowded her doorstep, but her younger brother has turned every one of them away.

Her younger brother recently passed the provincial exam and is only 17.

Zhang Yunxiu feels that, with her brother's taste in men, she'll never get married in this lifetime.

But while she was in the back garden picking vegetables, her brother came to congratulate her. “Sis, I finally got you married off!”

He added, “You got a great deal. Your husband is two months younger than me!”

Zhang Yunxiu was horrified. What was he talking about?

Wasn't it enough that she'd raised her younger brother like a son? Was she going to have to raise her husband like a son after she got married, too?

She spent her wedding night alone, convinced that, being older, her husband could never love her.

But after just one glance between them, the young man couldn't stop thinking about her. He overcame every obstacle to come find her and ask if she had something she wanted to tell him.

When her brother left for the capital to take the imperial exams, he acted like a steady, doting father, giving him all his money. “Eat well and dress warmly. Don't go hungry.”

Zhang Yunxiu smiled knowingly. “He's just this nice to everyone.”

Wen Qingzhe pressed his lips together. “I treat you differently. That's obvious.”

The male lead is the second son of the Wen family, Wen Qingzhe. He's six or seven years younger than the heroine, and two months younger than her younger brother.

The male lead is young, steady, reserved, warmhearted, and decisive. Sometimes he's like a little puppy, sometimes like a little wolf.

The heroine is gentle and kind, with a thoughtful, considerate manner that conceals a young woman's private hopes.

A sweet one-on-one romance.

A sweet historical transmigration story, Coming of Age on My Wedding Night.

Synopsis: Song Jia transmigrates to ancient times. Awkwardly enough, she arrives at a rather awkward moment: her wedding night...

The next morning, she wakes up and runs away. But there's a bamboo grove outside, and she wanders around in circles, unable to find her way out. When she sees a handsome young man, she asks him how to get to the village.

The young man pauses while chopping bamboo and looks at her strangely.

How could she have known that this seemingly frail young man was the one who had worn her out the night before?

Just as expected, she's caught and dragged back. In broad daylight, the young man tosses his clothes to the ground, proving that he really was the man from last night.

She keeps trying to run away, and every time, she's caught and brought back. She gets so frustrated explaining herself, but he looks at her as if she's an idiot.

It's simple: they don't speak the same language.

She never understands what language the man who keeps forcing himself on her is speaking, until she hears him say, “I don't know...”

Theme: If you can't even keep your own house in order, how can you put the world in order?
