While others transmigrated as the protagonists, Gu Ruoli was sure she was the supporting character. With all the chaos and eccentric characters life had to offer, she certainly wasn’t the most dazzling one.
Look at her mother: noble of birth, imposing and peerless, a stunning beauty whose fame filled the capital.
Look at her elder sister: born the legitimate eldest daughter of a distinguished family, renowned throughout the land, accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and praised by all.
Look at her younger sister: the youngest daughter of a powerful family, proud and brilliant, graceful as a willow in the breeze, with admirers all over the capital.
She had no looks to rely on, so she could only make it on talent.
With her medical skills and a single golden needle, she would carve out a flourishing path and become the most eye-catching heroine of all!
A little scene:
A study, a long desk, a teapot, and two teacups!
A man and a woman sat facing each other.
The woman looked solemn, her brows slightly furrowed.
The man clasped his hands together, sitting ramrod straight.
They looked just like they were negotiating.
“The house is repaired, the betrothal gifts are ready, and I’ve applied for your title…” The man’s gaze was dark and deep, his tone steady.
The woman frowned and asked earnestly, “And then?”
“When will you get into the bridal sedan?” He leaned toward her slightly, smiling.
The woman stood and walked away without looking back. “I’ve been very busy lately, and I can’t be in two places at once. Let’s wait a little longer.”
“Fine!” The man ground his teeth in secret, but appeared perfectly unconcerned. He crossed his arms and watched her retreating figure. “How long are we waiting?!”
The woman opened the door, her expression composed. “Hard to say.”
“Time waits for no one. Make up your mind!” he said through clenched teeth. His knuckles cracked inside his fist. He refused to believe that even if she were an iron rod, he couldn’t bend her and make her yield!
The woman left with unhurried steps.
Outside the window, someone eavesdropping wept bitterly. Other couples fell in love helplessly, their feelings mutual and tender… But Seventh Master and Third Miss Gu were a thunderclap in the middle of a clear sky, just waiting to see whom the lightning would strike first!

It's quite good; I read it on Xiaoxiang a few years ago. Fengliu's books are all very good. 👌
After reading a few chapters, is this guy surnamed Huo a time traveler? His catchphrase is "" (ri, meaning "day" or "sun")?
Weren't you in a hurry to get back to Beijing to rescue people?
It's so well written! Zhao Xun is so handsome!
There are so few comments, but I'll still check it out to show my support.
How could the male lead dare to spank a little girl without permission?! That's so abnormal!
The writing is good, and I quite liked the female lead being with the man surnamed Huo. However, I didn't really like the later part where she was with the man surnamed Zhao, even though in that social context, being with the man surnamed Zhao, who had a certain status, would have guaranteed her life and dignity.
It's a pretty good novel with good writing and a nice female lead, but the male lead has a terrible personality and is very chauvinistic, so I couldn't continue reading.
