In her previous life, Hua Buxie was a workaholic who pushed herself so hard that she fell ill and died young. In this life, she was reborn into a large family with many siblings.
Eldest sister: A high-ranking court official, the emperor's right-hand woman, and a doting older sister.
Second sister: A brave young general who always wins her battles, and a doting older sister.
Third brother: A favored lord-consort at court, and a doting older brother.
Hua Buxie: A penniless, powerless, unemployed nobody, a pretty but useless little layabout.
Wait! She did have money after all.
After discovering that her family's wealth was enough to last her ten lifetimes, and that her siblings were all incredibly capable, Hua Buxie slowly straightened her back, then lay flat again.
As a pretty little layabout, Hua Buxie's daily routine was tending flowers and plants with her retired mother, lounging in a rocking chair in the sun, drinking goji berry tea to stay healthy, and playing with cats, walking dogs, keeping birds, and taking strolls.
Free and easy, the ideal life.
Yue Wuque was widely known as the most beautiful man in the Kingdom of Jiang. He was as beautiful as an immortal, aloof and proud, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and a master of mathematics with a knack for making money.
The nation's beloved dream man, he had so many admirers that they could line up from the southernmost edge of the Kingdom of Jiang to the northernmost.
When he came of age, his family set out to find him a good wife, focusing on a group of young women, including the three unmarried Hua sisters. They even held a banquet to give them a chance to meet.
The eldest sister was graceful and charming, warm and gentle as jade. The second sister was bold and spirited, with an imposing presence.
Hua Buxie... had only just woken up, so she lazily yawned and, on impulse, wrapped the pastries she thought looked delicious in a handkerchief to take home for her parents to try.
Yue Wuque: “...”
Everyone, including the Hua family, assumed Yue Wuque would choose the eldest or second Hua sister, or perhaps someone else. Whoever it was, they were sure it wouldn't be Hua Buxie. They never expected the outcome to leave them utterly astonished.
The person Yue Wuque named as the one he would marry and no one else was the Hua family's famously useless layabout, Hua Buxie.
A little scene:
The opposition from outsiders was so loud that people would periodically come by to angrily scold Hua Buxie, saying she wasn't good enough for Yue Wuque and had bewitched him.
Ah... Hua Buxie, who was being pursued, felt a little conflicted. “How about you pick someone else?”
“I don't mind, really. I'm just worried you'll be the one who suffers.”
Yue Wuque, who had been leaning affectionately against her, raised his sword and asked coldly, “Who was it?”
After that, no one ever said Hua Buxie wasn't good enough for Yue Wuque again.
