(I'm busy with real life, so updates are on pause for now. New readers, I'd recommend bookmarking this and waiting. Don't open it too soon (wags finger).)
Guan Wenjin, the only son of the Right Chancellor of the Great Cheng Dynasty, was brilliant and refined, with impeccable self-control. To everyone's surprise, the Imperial Princess, newly returned after a great victory in the northern campaign, broke off their engagement. Not long afterward, in an even more shocking turn of events, he married Jin Mantang, the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy merchant family in the capital. Just when everyone thought the marriage wouldn't last, the two had already begun working together to run their shops in the capital.
*
On their wedding night, Jin Mantang handed Guan Wenjin all her worldly possessions, trembling with fear that he wouldn't even look up, that he would consider money no more than dirt and say it was merely an external possession.
No one could have guessed that a few years later, their restaurant business would have expanded beyond the capital, and her pregnant husband would spend his days poring over the accounts and, in his spare time, counting the family's gold ingots. When he discovered Jin Mantang had secretly stashed some money away, he made her kneel on an abacus.
Whenever Jin Mantang tried to argue, he would bring out the written agreement she'd made on their wedding night and make her read it aloud.
"I, Jin Mantang, promise to be of one heart and mind with my husband, Guan Wenjin, to take no second husband, and to hand over all my possessions to my husband as proof of my devotion."
A few things to note:
Very important!!! The male lead has a normal male body, but can give birth and has periods. The female lead is normal most of the time, but at crucial moments, she becomes engorged and swollen. (This setup isn't original to me; I'll remove it if it's inappropriate. But the story won't go into detail about it anyway, sob, sob, sob.) If you can't accept it, feel free to click away.
1. It's tagged female-dominant, but it's a girl-on-boy pairing, with the woman on top and the man on the bottom, and it's not just psychological role reversal.
Younger male lead! Younger male lead! And yes, the man can still give birth.
2. There's a little bit of court intrigue, but it's mostly about the couple loving each other and making piles of money through business!
3. The Song dynasty is the historical reference, but many things have been changed. There are truths mixed with falsehoods and falsehoods mixed with truths, so please don't scrutinize it too closely!
4. Mostly from the dominant partner's point of view (if I go off track, it'll become dual POV).

Theme: Establishing the right values and attitude toward money
In fact, I don't understand that Xiaoguan is the grandson of a high-ranking official. Not to mention arrogant, his character doesn't look like that. But in the first few chapters, he can advance and retreat in a moderate way. He also thinks about buying a bookstore to find a way out for himself, and the resources of the Right Prime Minister's family have carefully educated him. After so many years, his family has not been hard on him, and his grandmother can also see that she is devoted to him, but she has always felt inferior and timid after getting married. She is anxious and worried about the heroine every day, as if she has been taken away from her. In these two chapters, she is even beaten. . . If this wedding is meant to reflect reality, it is indeed very realistic.
The current friction between them is a common phenomenon in the life of a couple. But it's uncomfortable to look at, and it still needs more practice.
It's very well written, please keep updating!!
What's this plan?
