A Soft Beauty's Lie-Flat Life in a Period Novel

Everyone in the compound envied the Ma family.

They had a new daughter-in-law who was dutiful to her parents-in-law, devoted to her stepson, and kept the whole household in perfect order. Morning and night, she was always busy with something.

When other families' daughters-in-law caused trouble, the Ma family's daughter-in-law brought her parents-in-law water to wash their faces.

When other families' husbands came home tired from work, the Ma family's daughter-in-law massaged their backs.

When other families' children drooled over sweets, the Ma family's daughter-in-law dipped into her private savings to slip some candy to her stepson.

Lin Wan, a new daughter-in-law in the same compound, felt outdone.

She decided to learn from the Ma family's daughter-in-law.

Get up early and bring water.

Lin Wan: Sniff... I can't get up.

The man sharing her bed patted her back. "Good girl, go back to sleep. I'll do it."

Massage her man's back.

Lin Wan: Sniff sniff... My hands hurt.

The man turned around and massaged her wrists. "Good girl, I'll rub them for you."

Sigh, she just couldn't learn. She was born to lie flat.
