[Ambitious, career-driven, sharp-tongued heroine x lovesick, scheming, silver-tongued hero]
Yue Qingzhao was an underpaid wage slave in the 21st century who unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of the Wen family's young madam. Her quiet, taciturn nature made her unpopular wherever she went.
After years of putting up with mistreatment, Yue Qingzhao finally escaped her misery through transmigration and vowed to start a new life!
Her mother-in-law despises her, so she refuses to divorce.
Her husband avoids her, so she gets closer to him.
Her cousin insults her, so she fires right back.
After years of pent-up resentment, she finally finds an outlet. Just as she's enjoying herself, though, she runs into someone she can't handle.
Song Baixi, the honorable magistrate of Wuzhou County, is as handsome as Pan An and as refined and gentle as can be. He has solved major cases one after another and earned the love of the entire city. Countless young women have fallen for him, yet he singles out Yue Qingzhao at first sight.
Yue Qingzhao isn't the sort to lose her head over a handsome face. She focuses on joining forces with her sisters to open a massage parlor, determined to make a name for herself in Wuzhou.
Then she slaps a divorce agreement in her mother-in-law's face.
"I don't care to stay in this dump anymore!"
Before she can get divorced, Lord Song says something shocking.
"Divorce him, and I'll marry you!"
Yue Qingzhao gasps: A lovesick second male lead with a devoted-love script? If he's throwing himself at me, there must be something wrong with him! She refuses to be anyone's accessory. She'll make a name for herself in Wuzhou and climb to the top on her own!
-
Song Baixi spent years searching for his white moonlight, only to find that she had become another man's wife. And this clever woman remained devoted to her philandering husband.
He was consumed by resentment, but seeing her suffer made him feel sorry for her.
Until one day, he heard that Yue Qingzhao planned to divorce her husband.
Song Baixi: It wasn't true devotion. It was only a fleeting infatuation.
[Bonus Scene]
Wuzhou townspeople, before: How could Lord Song possibly like a sharp-tongued, unreasonable woman like Yue Qingzhao, who's been divorced and has no virtue?
Wuzhou townspeople, later: Who would have thought Lord Song could win the favor of a goddess? We're so jealous!
Yue Qingzhao: Oh my, how did I accidentally become a remarkable woman remembered throughout Wuzhou's history?
