Story blurb:
As the daughter of the richest family in the land, Shen Yunsui has a clear goal in life: make money, open shops, and become the head of the household. The first step toward achieving that goal is finding herself a husband who can be useful!
So she uses a contract to find herself a powerless, penniless pretty boy for a husband.
She chose the pretty boy, so it was her job to take care of him. She thinks she'll have to keep a close eye on him and protect him, but it turns out his household-fighting skills are maxed out. Her second brother-in-law beats her up, her fourth brother-in-law takes the blame, and her eldest brother-in-law takes in her third sister...
Seeing how skilled he is at jumping into ponds and climbing over walls, Shen Yunsui thinks that being the head of the household and keeping only him wouldn't be so bad. Just as she's about to reach the pinnacle of success, she realizes he looks a lot like General Yan Li'an, the man who came from Yuejing.
Shen Yunsui, intending to keep him as her long-term kept man: "Well, this is awkward."
Yan Li'an, falling for her but with his secret identity exposed: "Well, this is awkward."
Their love life falls apart, and so does her business. She gives him a life of freedom and endless horizons, and he promises her a lifetime of peace, happiness, and fulfillment. Yeah, right!
Shen Yunsui, so poor her pockets ring empty, thinks she'll spend the rest of her life alone, running a teahouse in the borderlands. But then the general, clad in light armor, barges into her teahouse, slaps a contract down in front of her, and shamelessly says, "Boss Shen, let's make another deal. Will you pretend to be my wife and help me fend off all these marriage proposals?"
Years later, the most famous storyteller in Northern Yue wants to write a tale based on Shen Yunsui, the richest person in the land. Asked how she made her comeback, Shen Yunsui thinks for a moment, then answers gently but firmly, "I piled up gold and built with jade, all so I could stay true to my conscience, honor my duty, and keep his life's work from going to waste. I wanted to protect him, keep him safe, and help him uphold both loyalty and righteousness."
[The rich merchant's daughter, tough on the outside and kind at heart] & [The dashing, roguish general who adores his wife]
Note: 1. A story of ordinary life and political intrigue, with both plot and romance. The setting is entirely fictional, with many invented details. Please don't overanalyze it.
2. One-on-one, both are each other's first love. They are separated but there are no misunderstandings. The leads help each other grow, and they love each other from beginning to end.
3. A heartwarming, slow-burn, sweet romance with a strong plot, a few angsty moments, and a happy ending!!!! Thanks for adding it to your favorites!
Author's note:
This story is complete. It's my first novel, and I'm happy with its plot, but I lacked writing experience when I started, so there are still some issues with the writing and descriptions. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
As for buying premium chapters, I've set the anti-theft threshold as low as possible so readers can skip chapters if they like. Please be careful when choosing to buy the whole book. Try a little first to see if it's to your taste! Thank you for all your love and support!
Since I'm an office worker, I haven't posted the bonus chapters yet. I'll definitely write them this month, but they won't be premium. I'll open a short-story bonus chapter in my profile instead.
When the heart finds inspiration, the pen finds understanding. I'll keep working hard. If you like the stories I write, I hope we'll meet again in the stories to come. Sending love!

--------------New Story Blurb--------------
Coming soon: "The Prince Smells of Tea"
[The two-faced prince, a mix of "green tea" and "old vinegar"]
[The no-nonsense, thick-headed, tough female general]
Shi Jiu is a notorious bandit chief in a chaotic age. By accident, she captures the brilliant and distinguished Crown Prince of the Western Liang Kingdom.
They say people chase what they lack. She's rough and uncultured, and she admires people like Xu Rongzhang most of all. She follows him and serves him, rising from a bandit chief in a time of chaos to a celebrated general. She accompanies him as he conquers the realm.
Everyone thinks Shi Jiu is deeply in love with Xu Rongzhang, and that he will make her his Crown Princess. In the end, the Crown Prince gets married, and she is not his beautiful bride, but the night watchman at the Eastern Palace gates. From that day onward, Shi Jiu becomes a laughingstock throughout the court.
After the Crown Prince's wedding, Shi Jiu requests a post guarding the border. The emperor happily agrees and tells her to take along his sickly son, Prince Hui, Xu Tingsi. From then on, her life gains a "good friend."
*
Prince Hui, Xu Tingsi, is as beautiful as the first light of spring, refined and otherworldly. He's frail, mild-tempered, and long past twenty, yet no one has sought his hand. Everyone feels sorry for him, unaware that this hidden gem already has someone in his heart.
At long last, the moon at the border shines once more. He follows it there, only to find "a crowd of stars around the moon." Something seems off...
Amid a vast sea of wind and sand, Xu Tingsi wraps himself in a fox-fur cloak and glances at the tall, handsome man beside him. "General Shi, who might this be?"
Shi Jiu happily hooks an arm around Qin Hao's shoulder. "My deputy general, and one of my brothers from the stronghold. Let's all have a drink tonight!"
Xu Tingsi's eyes darken. He gives two light coughs and replies, "All right."
The next day, Qin Hao waits until midnight, but no one comes to drink with him.
Under the dark night sky, Xu Tingsi lifts the tent flap and sees a handsome man holding Shi Jiu by the wrist inside. "General Shi, who might this be?"
Shi Jiu happily pats Pei Shu on the shoulder. "My military physician, and the senior disciple of Yunxiu Valley. Let's watch the tide together tomorrow!"
Xu Tingsi tightens his fingers, curls his lips, and replies gently, "All right."
The next day, Pei Shu waits until sunset before learning that Shi Jiu spent the whole day at Prince Hui's residence.
Then, one day, Xu Tingsi, covered in blood and grime, pins her in a dark corner and says in a wounded voice, "How many good brothers do you have that I don't know about? Shi Jiu, when will there be room for only me in that little corner of your heart?"
Only then does Shi Jiu understand: she sees him as a dear friend, but he wants to be the one she loves.
Note: 1. The proper title of this story is "The Border Moon Embraces Me." Other titles include "A Practical Guide to Brewing the Green Tea Prince," "The Beloved Husband General's Manual of Wifely Virtues," "The Scum Crown Prince's Guide to Scattering Ashes," and "The Wronged Brothers' Complaining Diary."
2. She loved him once, but the heroine knows when to hold on and when to let go, and she likes to be direct. So the Crown Prince gets a thorough, no-remains-left heartbreak.
3. The hero is only weak in body, not in any other way. He's two-faced, full of tea and madness, a hopeless romantic who uses all kinds of clever tricks to find love.
4. One-on-one, both are each other's first love, and they dote on each other. This story focuses on romance.
In short: A man with a hint of tea to him makes his wife want to dote on him.
Other stories coming soon: "After I Married a Sweeping Little Immortal" and "Today's a Very Auspicious Day." Thanks for adding them to your favorites!
Theme: I want to pile up gold and build with jade, so I can protect you and keep you safe, honorable, and true.

Come, come, I'm jumping back again!
The author Houpi of Guapi is asking for pre-acceptance, woo woo hoo—— ① "Your Majesty, the fragrance of his "tea" overflows": A man who smells of tea attracts his wife. ② "After being hurt by love, I turned black": Love is a word that can be expressed but not delayed. (Note: The author is sober and refreshing about letting himself go, please read with caution!) ③"Good Luck Today": The whole family is a weirdo, except me! ④"After Marriage to the Sweeping Fairy": The cowardly heroine just wants to be a demon who lives a long time.
Is it almost coming to an end? No, no, no, wow, wow, it looks good.
Author's message: The next book will be "The Prince, His Tea Is Fragrant", please pre-order, please see the column for detailed copy, thank you all!!! ① This article is officially called "The Moon Holds Me", also known as "Green Tea Prince's Practical Practice of Brewing", "The General's Code of Women's Virtues", "The Scumbag Prince's Experience of Discouraging", and "The Complaint Diary of the Wretched Brother" ② I have loved it, but the heroine can afford it and let it go, so the Prince's Crematorium is very complete and there is no scum. ③The male protagonist is not weak in any way except for his physical body. He is both white and black, teasing and crazy, has a love brain, and performs fancy interpretations of being single and careful. ④1V1, double C, mutual favor.
To be honest, a lot of parts can be redeemed. If you don't understand, it's a bit ingenious. The richest man's family doesn't know how to survive without any scheming. It all depends on the man's thinking. I'm a savior. I'm convinced. I'll write a novel to arrange various scenes.
After reading it, I feel uncomfortable. I have a glass heart. I feel that this damn dog emperor died too easily. I want to send him to the eighteenth level of hell. He died so easily. I feel that he is not worthy. He is sorry for the Saibei Army, sorry for the Yan family, the Shen family, sorry for the Jiang family and the Qingsheng family... ... This is a very good era, with so many loyal ministers and good generals who are loyal to the country and love the people; but this is not a very good era, because this dog emperor... He is so bad. How could he die so easily (crazy) (collapse) (drag out and whip the corpse) Secondly, when I saw Yunfeng, I collapsed a little. After all, I didn't feel any foreshadowing before, except that something was wrong with Mrs. Qi and I didn't expect that the dance agreed with Guanyi would be a flag (I totally thought it was a candy, bastard! I was still thinking about having candy next!!!) So I was completely dumbfounded when the enemy suddenly came in. After I saw those silly girls, I even imagined that the author would give the female protagonist a golden finger to save them at the last moment, or that the male protagonist would drop from the sky to save them, or even Guanyi would drop from the sky to save them... Then, the camera turned, and they died. (Condemn the author of Guapi for tricking me into crying!!) There is also the marriage of the six princesses in the later period. The interpretation of the title is really ironic. TAT succeeded in breaking my heart again. I feel uncomfortable. It is about to end. Even if I don't mention this, I can still comfort myself that they are living well where I can't see. In the end, the lovers will finally get married? I still feel that the ending is a bit rushed (of course I jumped to watch it and may not have seen many parts clearly). I feel that the author can also add some extra stories. It is better to rehabilitate the Shen family and the Jiang family (and other loyal ministers, this dog emperor must have persecuted more than just these), and then record the public opinion in the history books. (I can never forget Shen.) The male protagonist and female protagonist were thrown eggs) and the military lieutenants, they have the right to know the truth (but the real murderer is the Dog Emperor, so I don't know if the truth can be announced, and I am entangled) and Uncle Yao and others are exchanging the trust of the Dog Emperor for the male protagonist to retire and return home early. Can their lives after the Dog Emperor's death be supplemented? (I'm thinking about Taozi) There is also the sixth princess that I miss so much. The fifth prince who loves his sister so much has ascended the throne. Can he steal the princess back before the war with Beique (?) Okay, I don't know what I'm talking about now. It's a mess. Although it's been finished for a long time, I still want to say it's finished~ ... The Dog Emperor, die, die, die!!! (I'm following the new article, so I'll use the comment section to remind you to update it)
It's appropriate to receive awards, and there will be peace in all directions. It's better to be angry and happy, and it's better to be happy than to be happy. I know this dog emperor has no good intentions and doesn't take his daughter seriously, but author, you know how to use a knife (breaks down and cries)
So uncomfortable Shen Yi died. He died because the military supplies were inexplicably exchanged. Even because of this, the Shen family finally dispersed their family wealth and was misunderstood by the people. Yan Fuqing died. He had spent his whole life serving the country and the people, but not only was he forced to be separated from his lover, he couldn't even watch his children grow up. The same goes for my uncle. He was plotted by his brother. He obviously defended Saibei, but ended up dying at the hands of his good brother. Prime Minister Jiang died. He was loyal to the country and served the people wholeheartedly. As a result, his home was confiscated and he was exiled. Jiang Yunfeng is dead. He was homeless when he was a child. He finally got a tattoo after a narrow escape. He died the day before he expressed his feelings to his lover. He and his sisters used their lives to protect the people, but they did not hear Guanyi's confession until their death. Then there is another sword, Yihe and brother Luo obviously have the same mind but can't stay together. As expected of you, you told me to finish reading, and I had to eat a soft knife before I finished reading. Author, you have no heart!!!!
You can use sycophants, but you can use good ministers, but you can't keep them. After all, those in power are mostly suspicious and willful. In their eyes, ministers are not afraid that you have no shortcomings. They are afraid that you will be honest and loyal to the people throughout your life. After all, if you have shortcomings, you can exploit them if you are lustful, greedy, and greedy for power. It is also easier to pull down those who don't like them. However, good generals and loyal ministers turn over and over again and have unexploitable points, which cannot be controlled and are the most likely to change. Alas, since ancient times it has been hard to find a wise king.
