She wasn't interested in her intended match, but fell for another man who had married up, and became part of the naval compound.

She could entertain guests with grace and cook in the kitchen, and she got along wonderfully with her mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law.

Here are two more upcoming period dramas: Coming Soon 1: Seven Zero: The Assassin and the Prince Blurb: “You were born a fine lady. How did you end up among bandits?” Just as a dagger was about to pierce her target's throat, a bolt of lightning struck them both. The cold-blooded assassin became a delicate young woman sent to the countryside. The proud regent became a poor farmer's son, with an eighty-year-old grandmother to care for and four younger siblings. The young woman sent to the countryside, Wen Yingying, was infatuated with Qin Yushu, another young man from the city. She threw herself at him, but he liked the village girl Jiang Xiaoxia. After he rejected and humiliated her, a troublemaker egged her on. In despair, she went off with Yushan Hai, the timid son of the poorest family in the village, to roll in the straw. One moment, an assassin and a prince; the next, a young woman and a farmer's son were rolling together. This era had no sworn fathers, no debts of gratitude, no assassins, and no emperors or ministers. But it did have loving parents, brothers, and sisters; snow-white sugar; electric lights that couldn't be extinguished with a wave of the hand; and telephones that could carry voices a thousand miles... The only thing she couldn't do here was kill. But she couldn't read a single character, and all she'd learned was how to kill. How was she supposed to survive in this era? “You’ll earn work points and support me!” “Or I’ll kill you.” Regent Yu Chan: “...” The regent, Yu Chan, had lived in luxury despite being poisoned with a deadly toxin. Now he had the “strong body” he had always dreamed of, but was forced to earn twenty work points a day. After finishing his own work, he still had to till the land for the she-devil. And the she-devil even made him... turn the millstone to grind tofu. Her belly grew bigger by the day. This era required monogamy, and divorce wasn't allowed! This lonely king... spat blood. * Wen Yingying was the laughingstock of the young city women sent to the village. She was foolish, spoiled, willful, and bad-tempered. After pining for Qin Yushu in vain, she was caught fooling around with a farmer's son and forced to marry Yushan Hai, the poorest man in the village. “Just watch. Wen Yingying will end up hanging herself!” But after Wen Yingying married into the Yu family, her husband's grandmother treated her like a treasure, her husband worked like an ox without complaint, and his younger siblings did whatever their sister-in-law told them. The Yu family's life got better and better, and they even built a large house. When the college entrance exams were reinstated, Yushan Hai got into Peking University! His father was a police officer, his mother a doctor, his eldest brother a soldier, his second brother a teacher, and his sister a nurse... The regent had to reform through labor, and the assassin had to become a law-abiding citizen. Coming Soon 2: The Fussy Supporting Actress in a Period Novel Refuses to Wake Up Beautiful, fussy heroine x reserved, pretentious hero Blurb: Qin Xiangxiang was a pretty fool with no brains. One night, she had a long dream and realized that she was the foil to the heroine in a book. She was born into a declining bourgeois family in Shanghai. The family factory was nationalized, and everyone became a worker. In the 1960s, her parents found her a military officer to marry. After the wedding, her husband was stationed on an island, but she refused to join him. Then, in 1971, something happened to her family, and she was forced to join him. She became neighbors with the heroine, who had also moved to the island, and the two families became starkly contrasting foils. She made a scene over everything and couldn't adapt to life on the island. She looked down on one person and disdained another, constantly bragging about her former life in the city... She compared herself to the heroine in everything. When the heroine gave birth to a boy and a girl, she tried for a daughter, only to have three sons who were little terrors! The heroine took the college entrance exam, so she did too. The heroine went into business, so she did too... She lost everything, then got scammed out of the rest of her family's wealth. Unable to face reality, she was hit by a car and died. The details of her dream had been incredibly real, and everything had unfolded exactly as she had dreamed. She really was a character in a book! There was no chance she was going to change her temper. This fussy woman would see her act through to the end. First, she had to hurry up and get divorced! She sent a telegram demanding a divorce, and her husband came home early. Qin Xiangxiang hit him, yelled at him, and tormented him, making a scene and acting like a lunatic. But he not only refused to divorce her, he ended up arriving on the island a whole year early. “Bastard! I want a divorce!” On the island, Qin Xiangxiang gave up and lay flat, living off the household and waiting to die. She did nothing, but her husband kept the home in perfect order, and even raised their chubby four-year-old son into a hardworking, ambitious boy. Huh? Huh? What? At home, he worked tirelessly, pouring her tea, doing the laundry, and cooking. Outside, he was promoted at rocket speed, helped her study for the college entrance exam, and taught her how to buy a house and land and run a business. This man wasn't her husband from her previous life at all! The cold husband in her dream would never pull her into bed night after night. This guy even got her to have three daughters! * Li Jian Zhi woke up after a patrol mission to discover that he had become Li Jian Zhi, a naval officer in the 1970s, and that he had a beautiful wife and a four-year-old son. He'd read plenty of novels in his spare time. Now it was his turn to be the male lead! His estranged wife wanted a divorce. No way! His son was growing up to be a spoiled, chubby little prince. No way! “Li Jian Zhi, my hands are tired and I don't want to pick up my chopsticks. Feed me!” “Li Jian Zhi, I don't want to move. Carry me.” At 188 centimeters tall and handsome, Li Jian Zhi had never understood romance or known how to hold a conversation. He'd often lost contact with girlfriends while at sea, and his relationships had always fizzled out. Now he found himself with a sweet, clingy, delicate, perfect wife. Everything about his wife was adorable! Note: The original novel was written by one of the male lead's subordinates, based on him as a character. His name, height, and appearance are all the same. The original author mistakenly thought the male lead was asexual and paired him with his beautiful frenemy as his wife. In reality, he's extremely reserved but passionate.
