The First-Rank Farmer’s Daughter

When she wakes up, she finds herself in the body of a pitiful girl from a small landowning family in Wufeng Village. The moment she opens her eyes, she has to face the cruel reality that she is about to be sold. Su Wanqiu says, “Hey! I’ve got a short fuse...” She grows up like a force of nature, and by eighteen, the third daughter of the Su family is infamous far and wide. Some villagers are in despair: It’s plain as day that this tigress will never find a husband. Are they going to be tormented by her for the rest of their lives? Then they see suitors lining up to ask for her hand, nearly breaking down the Su family’s door. Once they’ve picked their jaws up off the floor, everyone is stunned all over again: Su Wanqiu has actually married her nemesis, Shen Yuanxi! Wait, when did those sworn enemies get together? She thought the rest of her life would be spent making a fortune and enjoying the countryside. But three months after the wedding, a party arrives from the east. The wastrel Shen Yuanxi turns out to be a prince, and supposedly a strong contender for the throne. An imperial decree orders him to return to the capital at once. The villagers feel their faces have gone numb. Su Wanqiu is numb too. There’s only one thing she wants to know: Is it still in time to get a divorce? If not, she’ll take a letter of repudiation! Her princely husband tells her solemnly, “Don’t even think about it. The capital is a muddy pond. We have to face it together. If we lose, we die together. If we win, you’ll be Crown Princess.” Su Wanqiu: “Pah!”
