A Rough Maid Arrives in the Countryside

After transmigrating to the Northern Song dynasty, Yun Niang became a little maid whom the Wei family bought for one tael of silver.

The head of the Wei household was just a poor scholar, barely scraping by on his first wife's dowry.

So when Yun Niang was bought, they split one person into three and worked her to the bone.

The master had a violent temper and beat and scolded her at the slightest provocation. The mistress was mean and eccentric, and often put on airs. Their daughter was spoiled and stingy, and often tricked Yun Niang out of her wages to buy snacks.

It wasn't until the Wei couple suddenly died of illness that Yun Niang learned this miserly family was actually related to the prominent Dingyuan Marquis's household in Bianjing.

She followed the young lady to Bianjing and entered the grand estate, where she was looked down on at every turn.

Everyone who saw her would call her “a country bumpkin” behind her back.

The Wei family's young lady gradually revealed her true nature: greedy, vulgar, shabby, and desperate to save face. Before long, everyone was growing tired of this cousin.

When a company starts going under, what's the right thing for its employees to do?

Yun Niang: Obviously, run.

The marquis's household has three young ladies. If she could get even one of them to take a liking to her, she'd have a bright future.

So Yun Niang packed up and accepted Mama Qin from the kitchens as her godmother.

A daily-life story of growth and food entrepreneurship, with a romance.
