A cute, chatty, clever, capable local girl from a modest household × a transmigrated science guy who's jumpy and a level-ten expert at spotting fake nice girls
Rong Yuwei noticed that her silly husband had suddenly become irresistibly charming
The second daughter of the third aunt next door suddenly started dressing up. "Third Brother Gu, what a coincidence! Are you out fetching water all by yourself so early in the morning?"
Gu Xinfang: "= = I've told you so many times, don't call me Third Brother. And you've put on so much lip color, are you trying to eat someone?"
The young couple went out together, and a merchant's daughter came begging to marry him. "Please take pity on me, Young Master Gu! Sister, save me! My family is tormenting me to death, boohoo..."
Gu Xinfang: "= = My wife already has enough kittens and puppies around her. No more!"
The daughter of a marquis fell in love at first sight with a married man. "Gu, don't you dare be ungrateful! I command you to divorce that wretched woman right now!"
Gu Xinfang flew into a rage.
Rong Yuwei was already used to this. She calmly sipped her tea. "Miss, your affair has been exposed."
Even the prince of the realm came by in secret to threaten him. "Gu Xinfang, become my man!"
Gu Xinfang was so frightened that he clutched his collar and shouted, "Wife! Save me! Come on, let's pack our things and head for Mount Kongtong tonight!"

Rong Yuwei and Gu Xinfang had been neighbors since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and both families were happy to see them get together.
Rong Yuwei watched the once-reclusive Gu Xinfang grow into a fine young man, and felt the joy and pride of raising a son who had turned out well (not really).
Of course, she was picky. Anyone who tried to steal the good bamboo shoots she'd raised was out of luck.
The successful official Gu Xinfang swore solemnly, pointing to the sky and the earth. "Awei, I've been taught how a proper man should behave. Monogamy is the bare minimum!"
