Transmigrate into High Society: Being a Lady of Leisure Isn’t Easy

Blurb: A modern city woman transmigrates to ancient times. She intends to live in peace, following the principle, “If you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you.” But people can't outwit fate. Born into the upper class, she is destined to marry a man from another noble family and becomes embroiled in one troublesome conflict after another.

Which ancient noble family isn't connected to the others through marriage, with a man taking multiple wives and concubines? Qu Qingyou never expected to marry into such a powerful clan herself, much less the foremost of the three dukedoms. She has no choice but to proceed cautiously, relying on her quick wits to carve out a place for herself.

There is no peace in the ancient imperial court. It's all clashes of steel, with one power struggle following another. As the daughter-in-law of a duke's household, how could she stay out of it? Qu Qingyou has no choice but to tread carefully among the noblewomen at court.

For herself, her husband, and her family, being a noblewoman in ancient times is no easy task. See how a modern woman transmigrates and makes her way as one!

Excerpt One:

When he walked over with a smile, he saw her picking a pink hydrangea and playing with it in her hand. He smiled and asked, “Are you going to toss it to me?”

Qu Qingyou had been lost in thought. Hearing a man's voice, both familiar and unfamiliar, she looked up and saw Luo Hao standing in front of her, smiling, his clothes fluttering in the breeze. He did look rather like a gentleman. She smiled and tossed the flower toward him. “Then you'd better catch it, sir.”

Could he be the man destined to be her love in this life?

Excerpt Two:

Old Madam Mu smiled. “I don't know whether the Qu girl is lucky or unlucky to have run into you. But You'er really is extraordinary. Our Duke Dingguo's residence needs a daughter-in-law like her if it's to prosper for another hundred years.”

“Great-grandmother, you certainly think far ahead.” Luo Hao took the ginseng tea from a maid and handed it to her.

“Don't tell this old woman that you weren't thinking of exactly that, you little rascal.” Old Madam Mu narrowed her sharp eyes. After taking a sip of tea, she teased her grandson again. “That You'er doesn't look easy to handle. I wonder which of you will get the upper hand after you're married.”

Luo Hao smiled. “Great-grandmother makes it sound like we're two armies facing off. I married my wife to cherish her. What's all this talk of getting the upper hand?”

Excerpt Three:

“Dear, what is love?”

Drunk, Qu Qingyou tilted her head and looked at him, confused. “You fool, you don't even know what love is?”

“Then why don't you tell me, dear?”

“Love means one person for a lifetime. That path is narrow; there's only room for you and me. Hongyu, do you understand?”

His first thought was that she wanted him all to herself. “Dear, you want me to cherish only you forever, right? Why beat around the bush?” Why use a word like love that no one could understand?

Only then did Qu Qingyou realize that she and he came from entirely different worlds. She had tried hard to enter his world, but he couldn't enter hers.

But so what? She would still find a way to make him slowly fall for her, for her body and for her heart.
