Cheng Jiao had been raised in luxury by the Cheng family for sixteen years. But when the family suddenly fell into ruin, she had no choice but to be sent in a small sedan chair to the Yangzhou magistrate's residence, hoping to secure the magistrate's protection.
Magistrate Xu already had his true love, Concubine Tao, by his side. He took Cheng Jiao as a concubine only because the Dowager Madam Xu had made the decision and he could not defy her. On the night Cheng Jiao entered the household, he hurried off to comfort Concubine Tao. Life was hard with no one in the inner residence to look after her. Fortunately, the principal wife, Han, was gentle and kind. She taught Cheng Jiao bookkeeping, business, and household management, treating her like a younger sister.
Cheng Jiao thought she would spend the rest of her life peacefully by Sister Han's side. But one day, she was framed, and she and Lord Han, who had come to visit his younger sister, were trapped in the same room.
Cheng Jiao: "..."
Han Zhen: "..."
As the two stared at each other, Concubine Tao brought Magistrate Xu in and caught them in an "affair." Han Zhen suddenly spoke up. "Since things have come to this, why don't you give her to me, brother-in-law?"
And so Cheng Jiao was passed on to someone else like a piece of property.
She thought Han Zhen wanted her for her beauty, but instead, he said, "My wife isn't good at managing the household. My younger sister says you're good at business, so from now on, I'll leave my family's enterprises in your hands."
So she was just being hired as a general manager?
Cheng Jiao asked hesitantly, "You don't need me to provide any other special services?"
Han Zhen gave a cold laugh. "Don't flatter yourself."

1. Han Zhen is the male lead.
2. Han Zhen has someone else he loves as his principal wife. The two are married in name only.
3. The early story is not typical household intrigue. Later, the heroine builds an independent business and becomes wealthy.
4. The heroine will use her own efforts to escape her status as a concubine and become an independent person. The two will get to know each other again as equals.
Theme: Women striving to escape an unjust fate.
If there is such an old woman in the Han family, it is also a sin. If you marry a wife accidentally, it will cause disaster for three generations.
Although Huayue felt uncomfortable, she always felt that she was good, so don't write her down 5555. Her situation was quite torturous. Arrange to marry a good man, right?
It seems that Huayue had a bad heart from the beginning. She was once the daughter of a small official, so she was not a vegetarian to be able to survive in the back house.
The progress is pretty fast. I feel like the heroine will be gone after two more episodes.
Laughing to death, being a couple is not as good as being friends
Why doesn't she bring a maid? She's always being teased
You can't force feelings. If you don't like it, you don't like it.
The last time I read the article, I had not experienced intrigues in the workplace. Now that I have experienced it, looking back, the heroine's methods are still a little immature.
When it comes to the emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists, there is an ambiguous sense of déjà vu between the male and female protagonists in modern youth.
Congratulations on the completion! I want to see Azhi cultivate pearls!
