She was a celebrated modern Chinese medicine doctor, but an accident sent her soul to another world.
Taking the view that she should make the best of her new circumstances, she decided to live her life to the fullest.
She brewed wine, sold medicine, and went into business, building herself a thriving life.
She could accept being an abandoned daughter, and she could accept being a married woman. But why was her husband nearly thirty? In ancient times, wasn’t that considered a late marriage? Was there really nothing wrong with that?
Well, since it was already a fact and she couldn’t change it, she would just have to accept it.
But why was this man always so stern, and why did he go on and on about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?
Was that really normal? Could there really be nothing wrong with it?
There was definitely something wrong! She swore she’d reform her husband into a modern, devoted spouse!
She would show him that women could hold up half the sky.
He was a valiant general from ancient times, dismissed from his post and put under investigation after being caught up in a scandal.
So what if he’d been dismissed? He was tired of the life of clashing blades and dying on the battlefield anyway.
He was getting on in years, and his mother back home was urgently summoning him. Marriage could no longer be put off.
Since women were all much the same and marrying one was no different from marrying another, he picked up a young wife along the road!
She was a pretty little thing, but spoiled and willful, a classic pampered young lady. After thinking it over, he decided that as a man he had to take responsibility, so he kept putting up with her.
Who could have guessed that after an accident, his little wife would turn into a gentle, composed beauty?
But why were this wife’s ideas so strange?
She knew nothing of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, women’s rules, or needlework!
This simply wouldn’t do. He swore he’d set his little wife on the right path.
He would make sure this little woman belonged to him completely, bearing him children and continuing the family line.
In a tranquil country life, amid the delicate fragrance of medicinal herbs, see how an abandoned daughter writes a tale of splendid medicine.
With tenderness and deep affection, see how a remarkable female physician tames her stubborn husband.
A gentle beauty, a love beyond measure: even the strongest steel can be softened into a tender embrace!
A sneak peek at a memorable scene:
“Where have all the Three Obediences and Four Virtues you studied since childhood gone?”
The stern man in black, his face cold and resolute, spoke seriously.
Across from him, the gentle, composed woman in blue raised her delicate brows in surprise. “The Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Are those compulsory?”
The man’s thick brows furrowed. “Are you even a woman? How can you not know about them?”
The woman in blue’s eyes lit up, and she said softly, “I know, of course I do.”
“Oh? Then tell me about the Three Obediences.”
The man in black’s expression shifted, and he was secretly delighted. He thought that the rites passed down for a thousand years would surely put pressure on her. Did she really think she could get the better of him?
“First, a wife must follow her husband when he goes out. Second, she must obey her husband’s orders. Third, even when her husband is wrong, she must blindly agree with him.”
When the man in black heard that, his face began to twitch. His mouth fell open, and he stared at her in utter shock.
Although I paid for this book, it was a heart-wrenching book that I don't know how to describe😅.
