Blurb: Tan Xiaolan transmigrates to an ancient world where oil and salt are scarce. Just as she is about to go out and improve her living conditions, she runs into Yan Zechuan, a man from her village with a rather bad reputation.

Tan Xiaolan thinks: He may be handsome, but he’s lazy. I wonder which poor girl he’ll trick into marrying him in the end.

Yan Zechuan keeps his distance from Tan Xiaolan, too. He doesn’t want rumors spreading that he has something going on with the eldest Tan daughter. A beauty like her isn’t his type.

Tan Xiaolan sees off the merchant ship’s female passengers at the ferry crossing. When she turns around, she spots Yan Zechuan collecting payment from the captain.

The two meet again at Granny Wang’s shop, where she sells oil cakes.

Yan Zechuan: You took a group of people on a tour and made money, but you’re only eating oil cakes!

Tan Xiaolan: People who can sell wild vegetables for the price of medicinal herbs eat oil cakes, too. These must be delicious!

So they buy four oil cakes together, each saving a copper coin.

There are two notorious marriage prospects in Sanli Village. The eldest Tan daughter is delicate and greedy, making it hard to find her a husband. The youngest Yan son is lazy and crafty, always hoping to make money without lifting a finger, and no girl wants to marry him.

No one expected the two of them to marry in the end!

Everyone worries they’ll starve to death. Who could have guessed that this couple, between them embodying every vice of slyness, laziness, greed, and gluttony, would live better than anyone else?

Yan Zechuan hands his wife the banknotes he has earned and tells her that the key to a good life is finding a wife who understands him.

Tan Xiaolan: Who says people who work hard to make money aren’t diligent? If my husband weren’t diligent, would I be counting money until my hands cramped?

Meng Yuning finishes her college entrance exams and, after falling asleep, wakes up to find she has started over. She has been born into a well-off farming family in ancient times.

In this life, her parents dote on her and her brothers are obedient. Meng Yuning’s dream is to grow up happily, have money and free time, and stay healthy into old age.

She easily achieves the first goal by being born into a good family. To achieve the second, she diligently learns a craft and earnestly goes on matchmaking dates.

Her prospects look bright when her younger cousin gets into an argument with the only son of the neighboring family. The boy is accidentally injured in the leg, and as the neighbors shout threats, Meng Yuning decides to temporarily pretend she has lost her voice, just to help them feel a little better.

Both families suffer losses. Her younger brother is safe, but the marriage that was nearly settled falls through.

Meng Yuning thinks it doesn’t matter whether the match works out. What’s truly unbearable is not being able to speak.

Her father, who has been helping her keep up the pretense, takes her out for a change of scenery. Meng Yuning can finally speak again, and she is discussing where to go for a good meal with her father when someone rushing around a corner nearly runs into her.

Fortunately, the person reacts quickly, sparing Meng Yuning the embarrassment of being knocked down in the street.

She marvels at his impressive core strength, then looks up and realizes the man is Zheng Yize, the man from the neighboring village who has difficulty walking...
