First of all, thank you, discerning reader, for choosing my novel among the countless wonderful stories on Jinjiang. You have such impeccable taste! Sending love~
[Quick-witted, capable, free-spirited female tavernkeeper & upright, devoted, hopelessly lovestruck general]
Lu Xingyao's beloved was a refined gentleman, gentle as jade. He had no flaws at all, except that he died young.
Lu Xingyao was a modern-day wage slave, working herself to the bone. But after an airplane accident, she unexpectedly transmigrated into a melodramatic novel and became the daughter of the biggest tavern in the capital.
In this turbulent age, corrupt officials ran rampant and right and wrong were turned upside down. In the book, the general Shen Yungui and Lu Xingyao turned against each other because of schemes and conspiracies, and both their families were destroyed.
As a reader who had read the novel, Lu Xingyao didn't want the tragedy to happen again. Before anything could go wrong, she decided to take the initiative and do her best to save herself.
She never expected that, just after she transmigrated into the book, her father would be framed and thrown in prison. This was also where all the original story's tragedies began. She was just a powerless young woman with money but no influence. To get her father out, she had to enlist the help of someone powerful. After careful consideration, the best person to turn to was Shen Yungui, the General of Dingxi: the early-departing white moonlight. She had only meant to ask him for help, but her feelings for him grew uncontrollably. She would do her best to survive this chaotic age, rewrite her family's fate, and rewrite her beloved's fate, too.
Before transmigrating into the book, Lu Xingyao had been battered by society and had tasted the warmth and coldness of human nature. She didn't believe in love or in Heaven's mercy.
After transmigrating into the book, though her circumstances were unstable, Shen Yungui always accepted her, supported her, and stood firmly behind her. The white moonlight from the novel, the man who had made her cry with regret time and again, had finally had his fate rewritten by her.
Lu Xingyao: Whoever wants to pick a fight with me had better be able to outdrink me first!
I really want to spoil the story. It's about time this awful script got rewritten.
The most pleasant thing in life is to sing over wine, with your beloved by your side.
Shen Yungui: We haven't seen each other in years, and now that we're together again, she doesn't seem like the Lu Xingyao I remember. She often says things that sound shocking, but she always has her own unique perspective. I'm so curious what books she reads. Oh no, I think I'm falling for her more and more! Could she like me? She's so bright and charming, while I'm dull and boring. How could she possibly like me?
Shen Yungui's handsome face flushed red. "Xingyao, it's been years since we last met. You've changed so much. There's something I want to tell you..."
Lu Xingyao: "Yungui, I have so many stories I want to tell you..."
Passerby: How can a woman run a tavern? Women should stay home and serve their husbands and raise their children!
Lu Xingyao: No way! I'm going to run this tavern, and I'm going to bring all the women trapped in their households and unloved by their families to work with me and make money!
A sweet little romance about finding love and achieving financial independence.
Reading guide: The romance develops alongside the plot.
An entirely fictional world, with a freewheeling story.
The female lead has her own career arc, and the romance is sweet with no angst. Mutual pining, both virgins, happy ending.
Author's note: I hope that everyone whose life was cut short simply went to another parallel world, where they can begin a new and happy life.
Theme: No matter what situation you find yourself in, never give up on saving yourself.
