Ye Yunman transmigrated as the eighth young lady of the Earl of Shouyang's household, only to discover that even ancient times were freaking cutthroat. Her eldest sister was brilliant, and her second sister was spoiled.
Ye Yunman wasn't having it. Why compete when she could lie flat and lean on someone powerful? Why not make her concubine-born eldest brother and her father do the competing?
Ye Yunman: "Big Brother, for the sake of your dear little sister's survival, let's set a modest goal. Go take the imperial examinations and bring home the top spot."
Ye Hongxiu: "All right."
So he came first in the exams, got caught up in factional strife while working at the Hanlin Academy, and managed to make his sister a target of the Third Prince, too.
Ye Yunman: "..."
No matter. Being forced into marriage by a prince was a small problem. She could still make a run for it.
Ye Yunman: "Big Brother, for the sake of your dear little sister's future, I'm making a run for it. Things aren't safe for you in the capital either, so find somewhere to take an appointment in the provinces."
Ye Hongxiu: "Take care, Xiao Man'er."
So he was sent to Yunnan as a fifth-rank salt official. While stabilizing salt prices, he got caught up in the Duke of Guizhou's major treason case, forcing his sister, who had fled overseas, to negotiate with the Burmese army while fighting pirates at sea.
Ye Yunman: "..."
Five years later, they met again in Yangzhou. Ye Yunman, now a foreign merchant and imperial merchant, rescued Inspector of Salt Ye Hongxiu, who was being chased by illegal salt dealers.
Ye Yunman: "Big Brother, I beg you, just sort out the Lianghuai salt administration and finish your term in peace. I won't push you to compete anymore!"
Ye Hongxiu: "I'll try."
So he uncovered an enormous corruption case involving the Fu family, governors-general of Lianghuai, and rose rapidly through the ranks on his way back to the capital, becoming Grand Chancellor and a thorn in the Third Prince's side.
Ye Yunman: "..."
I raised my own hyper-competitive older brother, so I'll have to protect him even if I cry about it. But how did I end up becoming the first female commander in the dynasty while I was busy protecting him?
Fourth Prince Ji Di: "Master, I'm gonna f*** your sister."
Ye Hongxiu smiled and snapped his writing brush in two.
--Don't think I can't deal with you just because you're a royal, you little brat.
Fourth Prince Ji Di: "Master, I'm gonna beat up your brother."
Ye Yunman laughed and marked his request "Approved." "Go beat up the Grand Chancellor! Your master will cover for you!"
[Reader's Guide]
1. The male and female leads aren't blood relatives. They will sever their familial relationship later!
2. How can a sickly, crooked little sapling grow into a tree sturdy enough for her to lean on? Hm? How did it get so crooked when I wasn't looking?
3. Includes transmigration and reincarnation from birth.
4. Contains a small amount of martial arts elements.
5. I like far-fetched plots, with lots of locations and storylines.
6. Updates according to the rankings. When there are no rankings, it usually updates every other day. Extra chapters will appear from time to time.
7. Both leads are each other's only partners, but the female lead has fallen for someone else before. Their romance develops after they end their familial relationship.
Blurb for a forthcoming novel:
Fu Qingqiu, the fourth young lady born to a concubine in the household of the Governor-General of Liangjiang, was bound to an escape-marriage System.
"Escape from what?" Fu Qingqiu asked, munching on a bowl of shaved ice. In the sweltering summer heat, she nearly thought the cicadas' chirping was bothering her eyes.
"Escape from marriage. Marriage System." Bright, translucent yellow text floated in the air, more grating to the eyes than the cicadas were. "Mission objective: Escape marriage (0/7). Mission reward: Extend your father's life."
The bowl of shaved ice fell from Fu Qingqiu's hands.
Ye Congshao, the eldest young master of the salt-merchant Ye family, had no idea what had gotten into his father. The old man insisted on arranging a marriage for him with a woman who'd already escaped from three weddings.
The first time was with the grandson of the Liangjiang Surveillance Commissioner. The woman climbed over a wall and ran away.
The second time was with the newly minted top scholar from the Earl of Ma's family. She dug a tunnel and escaped.
The third time was with the governor of Yangzhou. She arranged for her wet nurse to take her place as the bride.
Ye Congshao was dragged to her home. As he passed beneath the wall, something dropped right on top of him.
"That woman really is bad luck for me!"
Ye Congshao waited to see what kind of trouble Fu Qingqiu would stir up at the wedding. But on their wedding night, when the veil was lifted, he saw a tearful beauty beneath the lamplight, as delicate and endearing as a winter butterfly.
Damn, he'd fallen for her.

1. This is not a meticulous System novel!
2. An ancient-style marriage-first, love-later story, with plenty of melodrama!

"Only the clear wind and bright moon, the mountains and rivers and the four seas, the eternal heaven and earth." "——It can understand my heart." After reading more than a hundred chapters, the words Yun Manyu said among the flowers are still making waves in my heart. She had grown up in modern times, and her bones were soaked in the air of freedom. She was influenced by information from all directions, and gradually became a mature and courageous professional woman; but now, her soul that has seen everything in the world is trapped in her young body, and she is forced to endure Suppressed by feudal etiquette, my young face was red and swollen under the ruthless whipping of bamboo strips, but my spine was always straight: "Now that I am young, I cannot resist this strict etiquette, but one day I will have enough strength to break free from it! Even if I die!" I saw a tough soul leaping onto the page with a faint smile. I have read many time-travel-themed novels, but whether it's time travel or body-traveling, there has never been a protagonist who can arouse my empathy like this. She was walking in a noisy market, surrounded by her closest brother, but feeling lonely inside. She seemed to have grown up carefree and carefree, but the loneliness deep in her heart was like a wildly growing weed. No one could understand it, let alone explain it. Maybe that's why she scraped together a travel brochure when she was only five years old. The world is vast, how can we not go and see it? She longs for freedom, longing for it both expectantly and sentimentally. Thank you very much to the author for the story. The delicate brushstrokes have a unique sense of warmth and flow gently like water, naturally outlining a grand world. Thorne's appearance is great. Thorne has the dual identity of a time traveler and a Westerner who advocated adventure in the Renaissance era. His existence not only relieves Yunman's loneliness to a certain extent, but also greatly improves the entire world view, making this novel unique. There are very few romance novels with ancient themes that describe the other side of the sea. For the characters who are ancient people, it is too novel and too out of the ordinary. But the author wrote it like this, challenging the plot of going to sea that few people would write, and letting his heroine sail to the Western Ocean, blowing the salty sea breeze, drinking rum, and becoming a fearless and dashing sailor. I have to say, this is also my favorite part of the whole story. Ye Yunman, who was sailing on the sea, was no longer entangled in the fights at home and the palace. Just like what she described enthusiastically in her letters home, her days were wonderful and happy. At this moment, her soul was finally nourished and full of vitality. Even though she was still suffering in her heart, her happiness could be seen in the author's words. Yun Man regained her freedom. For her, she was naturally overjoyed, but for another person, she had mixed feelings. This of course refers to Ye Hongxiu. Like many ancient male protagonists, Ye Hongxiu has a sympathetic life experience, and he is also redeemed by the female protagonist who is like a little sun. However, unlike those powerful and perfect male protagonists, he has many shortcomings. He has a typical concept of ancient people. Even though he respects Yunman enough on weekdays, what he longs for deep down in his heart is to tie her to him. He will also be blinded by hatred, and even say hurtful words to Yun Man, who has good intentions to comfort him, and later regrets and apologizes. These shortcomings prevent him from becoming a confidant like Thorne who can have a long talk with Yun Man and the moon. They cause him to suffer inner torture, but they also make him flesh and blood, from a thin paper hero to a person with love and hate, good and bad. However, I was still worried about him until the end. Ye Hongxiu and Ye Yunman have quite a lot of differences in their concepts, and they are even more at odds with each other in the last chapter. Perhaps what bothered him even more was that the person he was gradually falling in love with turned out to be his sister who he grew up with. He was constrained by ethics and morals. What's more, his little Man'er had always been heartless, so how could he stop for him? A noble man is unparalleled in the world, but he has to accept defeat in the face of the eccentric Yun Man. The timeline of the whole story is very long. Yunman's fleet crossed rivers and mountains, and finally reunited with Ye Hongxiu in Yangzhou. Her adventure is not over yet, and her emotions have no home yet. Everything is like her future, an unfinished state full of unknowns and inviting exploration. Zuo Yan emphasized that Yun Man would never marry and have children in a vulgar way. In fact, I was very relieved about this. I knew that she would not, and she was definitely not a girl who would compromise like that. "Some birds can never be locked up, and every feather of them shines with the light of freedom." Yunman is that kind of bird, soaring in the sky, destined to be accompanied by the breeze and the bright moon until death.
I originally thought it would be good for the male and female protagonists to be together, but now it seems that it is better to be alone and carefree.
I really like Thorne too. .
Female Goose is great. No one is worthy of her
Yes, I have! Can you tell me whether the male protagonist slept in a moon cage? It's not that I don't accept impurity, but the male protagonist clearly had strange feelings for the female protagonist at that time. In this case, he still slept with the moon cage. Forgive me for thinking that the male protagonist and the female protagonist would still sleep with other people after they were made clear.
So... So exciting. But the male protagonist is really a bit perverted! Mrs. Xiao Man'er is only fourteen years old now! Why! Why did the author say he was eleven years old?
Beautiful! Big! Looking forward to updates!
What a pity, he couldn't see his own identity and couldn't blame others for his fate.
I like what the heroine said, so handsome?^▽^?
The subject matter is very new! Come on! Work hard to update!
