The Younger Sister

Blurb:

Reborn, Wan Ying returns to the day of her betrothal. She punches the matchmaker, kicks her sister-in-law, and angers the village tyrant landlord. Ignoring the village gossip, she grits her teeth and knocks on the door of Zhen Ziyun, a widower raising a child.

Wan Ying: "I heard you never remarried. What do you think of me?"

Zhen Ziyun, his face cold: "Don't be ridiculous!"

His son looks at him pitifully. "Dad, I want a mom..."

In her previous life, Wan Ying remembered, the landlord had been very wary of Zhen Ziyun. But the man hadn't lived in the village long before he supposedly died of illness. After Zhen Ziyun's death, the landlord had been delighted for several days.

To escape the landlord's harassment, she had no choice but to marry Zhen Ziyun as soon as possible. Once he died, she would raise his son well, as thanks for saving her.

But year after year passed, and the man not only failed to die, he was thriving. Looking at the rice jar that was almost empty, Wan Ying touched her slightly rounded belly.

She snapped, "All you do all day is scribble nonsense with your brush and paper! The rice jar is nearly empty, and I'll be giving birth in a few months. Can't you think of something?!"

Zhen Ziyun hurried to soothe her. "Don't worry, Princess. Be careful not to upset the baby. How about we set off for the capital the day after tomorrow?"

Wan Ying: "I'm not going back! Life in the village is much freer than in the prince's residence!"

(The child in the blurb is not their biological child!! The leads are both virgins!!)

P.S.:

(A lengthy farming-life novel about everyday life; there will be a little palace and nobility drama later on.)

1. The setting is fictional, so no need to fact-check! The ancient setting doesn't follow modern rules!

2. No one is perfect, and the characters aren't flawless!

3. If you drop the novel, don't tell me. No writing advice, please!

4. We're all here to have fun in a fictional world. Don't ruin everyone's mood by stirring up trouble or twisting the plot in the comments. Comments with profanity, piracy, or personal attacks will be deleted. The author has a fiery temper and will snap back if pushed.

5. The author has only two hands for writing silly, sweet romance. If that's not your thing, click "X" and read someone else's work. There's no need to leave a trace...

This obscure author is not looking for any comparisons! My bones are fragile; I can't take the hit.
