Wei Xin, troubled because her husband may be cheating on her, suddenly found her soul in Gan Rou, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Gan Rou was young, beautiful, and noble-born, a talented woman skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Wei Xin was quite pleased, but the truth behind Gan Rou's near-drowning made her suspicious, her betrothed with five children made her anxious, and the inconvenient customs of ancient times made her irritable.
Fortunately, after adjusting to life in the past, she didn't marry the man originally chosen for her. Instead, she married the newly appointed top scholar.
Her husband was handsome and considerate, and there were no concubines in the household. His character, looks, and talent all surpassed those of her modern-day husband. She resolved to forget everything about the modern world, build a good life in the past, have children with her husband, and grow old together.
With the Gan family's help, her husband was promoted and moved them into a larger mansion. Gan Rou got her wish and became the lady of the household.
With the powerful Gan family behind her and control of the Yang family's finances in her hands, she had a mother-in-law who preferred peace and quiet and didn't demand that she attend to her, a whole household of maids and servants to manage, and a husband who doted on her. She felt incredibly happy.
But a maid trying to seduce her husband, her mother-in-law's worries about the lack of an heir, her brother-in-law's infatuation with her, and her husband's suspicions about her reputation as a talented woman all challenged her position.
She would use every means at her disposal to protect her place as the principal wife and ensure her children would be legitimate heirs of noble status.
Theme: Oppose the cult of legitimate versus illegitimate birth
"Cuiyu came over, mutely speaking..."Caught a big bug for the author~
What's the use of having a husband like this? So disgusting
Madam, what are you doing? The Guinness record is typing 807 letters per minute. Calculating that each Chinese character requires six letters, you can type approximately 134 words per minute. Since you are not the record holder, let's calculate it as 100 words per minute. According to the standards of the world organization, a person's healthy sleep time is eight hours, and you spend about two hours eating every day, 20 minutes to go to the toilet, 40 minutes to wash, one hour to exercise, two hours to get inspiration, and then stripping off another hour of dazed fishing, you should have nine hours to type and type 54,000 words, but you only put so little content every day, how come? To be honest, is it a deduction? None of the donkeys in the production team dared to rest like this, so my wife quickly got up to code!!! Don't make me beg you
