This novel will go VIP on February 29.
Coming soon: "The Wealthy Life of a Concubine's Daughter Who Married the Wrong Man." The blurb is at the very end.
What's it like when your husband's debt turns into twice as much wealth for you?
Zuo Yu raises her hand: I know this one!
Zuo Yu transmigrates to an unfamiliar world. She doesn't get a randomly assigned System, but she does get a treasure basin that can't make money. Looking at the original owner's situation, with a home stripped bare and both parents dead, and the seven aunts and eight uncles showing up to demand repayment, Zuo Yu wails: This is way too hard from the start!
Then she sees the poor widow and orphan next door, and the tiny boy, only eight years old but already tough as nails. Zuo Yu's heart softens. Fine, feeding one person is already a job, so two more won't make much difference. If I have a bite of solid food, I won't let you make do with gruel. We poor folks should band together and make a living!
But who could have guessed that doing good would bring good fortune? She actually picks up a real "treasure basin."
Song Xiyuan has known since he was old enough to remember that his family is struggling. His father abandoned the widow and orphan early on, taking his mother's dowry and running off with another woman. His mother is descended from a fallen clan, and with her graceful looks and education, their home is always embroiled in trouble.
As soon as he is old enough, he knows he must shoulder the burden of the family. But his mother is often ill, and his uncles covet their little courtyard. The frail young boy often broods in secret, wondering what the point of living is.
Until the bright, refined young girl climbs over his courtyard wall. "Hey, silly boy, borrow these ten coins and hurry to buy medicine for your mother!"
As he grows older, he hears the villagers gossiping: "That little girl from the Zuo family is such a penny-pinching miser. She must have been a miser in her past life!"
Song Xiyuan blinks. "Do they mean the young lady from the Zuo family next door, who keeps leaning over the wall to toss me silver all day long, and whenever I refuse, cries, throws a tantrum, and threatens to hang herself?"
Later, the young man places first in the imperial examinations and rides through the streets on horseback, with countless young women's purses tossed into his arms.
The top scholar is so startled that he falls off his horse. "Don't ruin me! I have a shrew at home in charge. Please let me live a few more days!"
That night, outside Zuo Yu's window, the refined young man pleads softly: "Wife, don't be angry. I'm the male lion and you're the lioness. Doesn't that make a perfect pair? If I don't establish my reputation as a henpecked husband early, how can I turn down all the gifts from my superiors and colleagues?"
Zuo Yu snorts. "Everyone's heard that I'm a lioness, but nobody knows you're a male lion, do they?"
And so later histories would record again and again that Song Xiyuan, a senior official of three dynasties who wielded great power and made a name for himself through the ages, had one peculiar habit known to everyone: he called himself Suanni.
"Suanni resembles a leopard cat and eats tigers and leopards" is an ancient name for a lion.
Coming soon: "The Wealthy Life of a Concubine's Daughter Who Married the Wrong Man"
The daughter of a concubine, Su Niantan, marries up into a marquis's household. On their wedding night, the young marquis, dressed in red, waves a hand and declares:
"You can do as you please with the estates and shops under my name, and draw on my annual allowance as you wish. I have only one condition: take good care of my concubine. Not a hair on her head must be harmed."
"One more thing." The young marquis looks at her heavily made-up face with disdain. "There's no need to dress up in the hope of seducing me. I will never share a bed with you, and you can forget about bearing the marquisate's eldest grandson."
Su Niantan, whose soul has transmigrated from the modern world, is so stunned by this windfall that her head spins. Five million a year, no need to have children, and all she has to do is look after your mistress?
On the surface, Su Niantan sobs pitifully. "Young Marquis, you're bullying me..."
Inwardly, she is ecstatic. As long as the compensation is good, forget one mistress. Bring on mistress number four, five, six, and seven. I'll take excellent care of them all!
Before long, Su Niantan's reputation for generosity and virtue, and for treating the concubine like a sister, spreads throughout the capital.
The guilty old Marchioness arrives with bags and boxes to visit her. "My son has put you through so much. You even have to put up with my rebellious son and think of his needs at every turn."
Su Niantan's eyes grow misty with tears. "Now that I am married, this is only what a daughter-in-law should do."
But her eyes are fixed on the trunks behind the old Marchioness. Is that gold? Is that agate? And those, are they land deeds? Are they all for her?
Her inner monologue: If you were willing to visit me a few more times, I could put myself through even more.
While the young marquis is busy enjoying romantic moonlit nights with his concubine, Su Niantan is busy buying land and houses and opening shops all over the capital.
You gain love, I gain money. Su Niantan is very satisfied with this arrangement and thinks they can keep it up for a long time.
But then the Second Prince, whom she happens to meet by chance, suddenly stands before her, fidgeting with his fingers as he asks whether she plans to remarry after divorcing her husband.
Su Niantan refuses. "This humble woman is devoted and faithful. I will never serve two husbands in this life."
The Second Prince: "What if I offer you ten thousand taels of gold?"
Su Niantan wavers slightly, then refuses again. "This isn't about money. A divorce would damage the marquisate's reputation..."
The Second Prince: "I'll add three estates and a private hot spring villa."
Su Niantan's voice grows softer and softer. "After all, it isn't easy for a woman to remarry. A woman must always remember..."
The Second Prince: "And two tea estates and two banks in Jiangnan?"
Su Niantan beams. "All right! I'll go divorce him right now. Whoever you tell me to marry, I'll marry."
The Second Prince breathes a sigh of relief. "Marry me."
Su Niantan: "Mm... What? Huh?"
Theme: Give someone a rose, and its fragrance stays on your hand.
That's right! The mistress is so hateful! But the one who deserved it the most was the scumbag who took the initiative to cheat!!!
The heroine is too young and too weak, and she is bullied by several villagers. It is so annoying to watch that she will not put it down easily, right? Can't the heroine return it when she gets up? Thinking about how you were bullied makes you sick
What did the third uncle do to the male protagonist?
"Bu" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ step
No wonder the villagers said she was a cadaver. She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't get up for a week after she was diagnosed with COVID-19. Not to mention that she died of illness in her previous body and was suddenly resurrected with full blood. The pedantic villagers most likely carried her away and forced her to be burned. Suddenly, a system text came to mind. The interstellar people traveled to ancient times and did not complete the mission. They did not understand the feudal superstition and pedantic thinking of the ancients and died several times.
I originally thought I had some other motive for signing the IOU, but it turns out I just thought I could pay it back?!!!!! Wo? Zhen? De
Although I know you can't read this kind of article with your brain in mind, but in ancient times, there were parents whose bodies and skin were affected. Isn't it a bit outrageous to say that you should shave your head if you shave your head?
I blindly guessed that it was a gift from the male protagonist's mother's ex.
You must be crazy. In this plot, the heroine's money has been repaid, and the people in this village still treat the heroine as their own property and want to sell it. I have no desire to continue watching.
I almost thought Song was abducted
