[Transmigration, Household Intrigue, Slice of Life]

Duan Lingxu x Xun Zhiming

Biology PhD (who never graduated) x scheming illegitimate son of a marquis

Blurb One:

In the final year of her doctoral studies, Duan Lingxu developed a severe sleep disorder.

She was haunted in her dreams by a handsome man, and the experience finally broke her already overburdened body.

As the saying goes, dreaming about a handsome man once and having a passionate encounter with him is a pleasure. But dreaming about him every day and having a passionate encounter every day might mean you've got a ghost on your hands.

Duan Lingxu was terrified. Then, on the night her dissertation was rejected, her life finally came to an end.

When she woke up, she was in a crowded courtyard in ancient times.

Duan Lingxu had become a poor drifter with no household registration and no protection under the law.

The situation made Duan Lingxu, who had countless times collapsed in the lab and yelled, "I'm so damn sick of living," realize that she actually wasn't sick of living at all. Not even close.

She got up and headed outside. Someone called after her, "It's getting dark. Where are you going?"

Duan Lingxu replied, "To find a job."

Blurb Two:

Becoming a low-ranking maid at the Marquis of Huaixiang's residence was the best job Duan Lingxu could find in the capital of Great Zheng.

The steward assigned her to the Herb Study, a place everyone avoided. Its Spirit Chamber housed the marquis's third son, Xun Zhiming, who was bedridden with a long illness and had a foul temper.

The Herb Study's courtyard was overgrown with weeds, while the Spirit Chamber was filled with the scent of medicine.

Standing in the corridor, Duan Lingxu peered through the curtain at the man reclining against the bed, curiosity getting the better of her.

Suddenly, a gust of wind lifted the curtain, and the man's dark eyes caught sight of Duan Lingxu at once.

She jolted in alarm.

Wasn't he the deadly handsome man from her dreams?!

Holy crap, she'd transmigrated! She'd picked such an obscure path! Was he still not going to leave her alone?!

Could she... could she still run away now?

"Heh..." The man on the bed let out a sudden laugh, ghostly and bewitching. "You must be new. The work here isn't easy."

Reading guide:

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

2. The female lead has a lot of golden fingers, and at times she may be unreasonably powerful. She transmigrated, so why not let her have some fun?

3. Slice of life. The romance develops relatively slowly, with the female lead's career as the main focus.

4. The male lead has the flaws of a man from a feudal society. It will take him time to change. Once the romance begins, he is devoted and passionate. If this bothers you, read with caution.

5. The dynasty is fictional, and its institutions are a hodgepodge. No historical nitpicking, please. Thank you.

6. This isn't a story for readers who insist on airtight logic, and it contains melodrama. If it doesn't satisfy you, you can criticize the author, but please don't attack the characters.

Theme: Love can overcome time and space
