A Lazy Fish Who Won't Slack Off Is Half as Happy

After dying, Qiao Zhaoyi was reborn in ancient times as the youngest daughter of a low-ranking fifth-grade official in the capital. She grew up eating well and living comfortably, and by the time she was fifteen, her life was peaceful and carefree. She had only one problem: for years, she'd wanted to marry the son of her father's sworn enemy. He was handsome, and his health was poor. His heart condition flared up often, and even the imperial physicians said he wouldn't live another two years. If she married him this year and outlived him, her carefree life as a wealthy young widow would be all set. But the difference in their social status forced her to bury all those fantasies deep in her heart. Then, in the year she came of age, her father earned merit protecting the emperor and became one of the emperor's favorites. Suitors from distinguished families crowded their doorstep, while her father's old rival sent someone to demand that she marry his son to bring him good fortune, all with the intention of humiliating them. Her parents were suddenly beside themselves with worry. Qiao Zhaoyi swallowed a bite of pea-flour cake. "Don't worry! Whoever I marry, I'm only looking to live an idle life. I can lounge around anywhere." "Besides, you've spent your whole life fighting him and never won. Now it's my turn to be filial. I'll make sure their family line ends with them." The man was in poor health, and she'd heard he was no good in that department either. He was unlikely to have children. She only had to put up with him for a year. Then she'd have a lifetime of wealth and comfort, with no shortage of gold or silver, and no children to raise. She got ready to marry him on the spot. Her father: "..." Her mother: "..." - After Qiao Zhaoyi married into his family, she lived by the principle that life was trouble-free as long as she didn't fall in love. She was having the time of her life. Then, several months into the marriage, her husband's heart condition was unexpectedly cured. Qiao Zhaoyi: "…" #Wasn't I supposed to just laze around and do nothing?# #Great, time to slack off at top speed# #If I can lie down, I lie down. If I can't, I tough it out# #A goofy, lazy girl changing her fate online# *The setting is fictional. Hope you enjoy reading! =v= Theme: Persistence brings victory.
