[Blurb]
After transmigrating, she becomes a widow, with a widowed mother-in-law to care for. The two widows have to look out for each other!
What a thrilling start! Her mother-in-law wants her to remain a widow for life, her kind-hearted father-in-law wants to marry her off, her sister-in-law thinks she's a freeloader, and her scheming brother-in-law has designs of his own... Gu Guanyue says she can't handle this, so she'd better find a way to support herself.
Well, other people who farm at least have fields. Gu Guanyue has to snatch her family's land back from the village tyrant first. Honestly... what kind of hard mode is this?
Who could have imagined that,
starting from humble beginnings, she would fight the village tyrant for land, build a flower garden, join a guild, and step by step create her own floral kingdom, becoming the greatest flower merchant in the Song Dynasty!
Along the way, a worldly gentleman, loyal sisters, relatives with their own little schemes, and cunning fellow merchants with a sense of righteousness all make their entrances. The colorful cast keeps on coming.
Gu Guanyue: At first, I only wanted a courtyard surrounded by a sea of flowers. Every step of the way has been an opportunity...
[The Male Lead's Perspective] This is a society full of prejudice, and I choose to stand by her.
Everyone knows Yuan Cheng is an easygoing man. Meeting Gu Guanyue was pure coincidence. After running into her once, then twice, he fell for a little widow and went to confess. I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush just yet. Gu Guanyue said, "I like you. But I can't waste my energy dealing with the obstacles your family puts in our way." My Yue'er is right about everything. I love how clearly you think things through. Calm and doting, loving her for a lifetime.
[New Novel: The Kingdom That Captivates All]
On the day the General Wei household was sentenced to execution, Wei Yanqing was happily getting married.
Her parents, brothers, and nearly a hundred members of the general's household... The ruler, Murong Wen, turned the Wei residence into a living hell overnight, and she didn't discover the truth until she returned to her family home after the wedding.
Then, simply because she had married her, the Prince of Yunyang's household was branded as accomplices, and her peerlessly elegant cousin, who had always been gentle and refined, lost the use of a leg.
Reborn, with the day her family is slaughtered fast approaching,
this time Yanqing must not only protect her family, but uncover the truth and bring down the Murong dynasty!
But with such a terrible blood feud weighing on her, she cannot marry Murong Zhi. With the world in danger of being turned upside down, she has no time for romance, and the Prince of Yunyang's household should not be dragged down with the Wei family.
Yanqing breaks off the engagement.
Murong Zhi has always been a gentleman, and ever since they were betrothed as children, protecting Yanqing has come naturally to him.
But he never expected his sweet, innocent cousin to break off their engagement. Nor did he expect her to become the honored guest of Chai Yige, a hereditary prince of a different surname.
A gentleman should be composed, noble in character, and gentle as jade. He endures it.
But day after day, he can endure it no longer.
The elegant young lord suddenly turns into a villain, showing Yanqing the worst side of himself.
He humiliates her: "Wei Yanqing, so beneath that pretty face, you have a vain heart after all."
"Wei Yanqing, has Chai Yige really refused to give you a proper title?"
"Wei Yanqing, get out of my carriage!"
Yet when Yanqing walks quietly past him, he knows his heart can never be reclaimed.
She is the person he has protected since childhood, the one in his heart and in his dreams.
As the truth is gradually revealed, regret tears him apart.
If she will forgive him, then let them turn the world upside down together. So what if they bring down the Murong dynasty!
[Bonus Scene]
Murong Zhi, gritting his teeth, his face dark with anger: "Wei Yanqing, get out of my carriage."
Wei Yanqing, drugged, her eyes shimmering: "Brother Zhishan, I feel awful. Help me."
Boom!
A firework seemed to explode in Murong Zhi's mind. His heart aching, he moved close to her. As her robes came loose, he asked her again and again, "Look carefully. It's me, your Brother Zhishan."
Theme: Be true to yourself. Heaven loves the simple-hearted.
