Married first, love later. A match made in heaven.
A carefree, easygoing heroine x a sickly prince with eight-pack abs
When Lin Xi was on the verge of dying from overwork, a golden rabbit claiming to be a System dropped from the sky and enthusiastically invited her: "Hey, would you like beauty and elegance? How about legendary treasures? Just transmigrate once and it'll all come true..."
Lin Xi wasn't interested and turned to leave.
The rabbit panicked. "You can also achieve financial freedom!"
Lin Xi calmly turned back and chided it: "Next time, tell me about such a good deal first."
Everyone in the capital knew that the Marquis of Pingyang's household had a young lady who was their relative. She kept a low profile and was rarely seen by anyone outside the family and their close friends.
At a corner of a banquet, two handsome young men sighed. The marquis's young lady was so low-key that they couldn't even find a chance encounter with her. Otherwise, with their looks and talents, they could win her over in no time and rise to prominence overnight.
Ling Xi, who was low-key and never liked going out, quietly passed behind them, found another corner, and settled down to enjoy the gossip.
Prince An was frail and sickly, yet handsome as a tree and possessed of Pan An's beauty. He was the dream lover of every young lady in the capital.
Then one day, Prince An made a grand announcement that he already had a fiancée and would be marrying her soon.
The young ladies' hearts shattered. They gnashed their teeth and wondered, who was it?
Ling Xi, sitting on a little stool and munching on melon seeds, was baffled. Why did this sound like gossip about her?
One-line summary: Her happiness took a winding road before finally finding its way to her.
Reading guide:
The romance develops slowly, and both leads dote on each other.
There will be a little rebirth element.

Synopsis:
The richest family in Jiangzhou, the Liu family, is about to become in-laws with the newly appointed prefect. The wedding is set for a month from now. Both families will get what they want, and everyone is delighted.
Many people in town secretly sigh, "The new prefect is already forty, I've heard, around the same age as Liu Shengyou. He's really heartless, willing to let his lovely daughter marry him."
But for Master Liu, trading a daughter he doesn't care for in exchange for the head of one of the four trade guilds is an excellent deal. He has more than one daughter, after all.
The eldest Miss Liu knows her father's nature. She doesn't protest or make a fuss, and quietly prepares for the wedding.
The day before the wedding, the embroidered tower where the eldest Miss Liu lives alone catches fire. In a single night, it is engulfed in flames, setting half of Jiangzhou aglow.
One-line theme: Home is wherever the heart finds peace.
