[Shrewd merchant's daughter vs. scheming powerful official]
Everyone says the Wen family of Ping County is fabulously wealthy, with even their rice bowls made of gold.
Unfortunately, Old Master Wen has had trouble producing heirs and has only two daughters.
With Wen's father gravely ill, it looks as if the clansmen are about to strip the family bare.
Newly transmigrated Wen Wan is in a panic.
She desperately needs an obedient, well-behaved live-in son-in-law...
Marquis of Huai'an Wei Zheng is sent south by imperial decree to investigate a case. After an ambush leaves him on the brink of death, a human trafficker knocks him unconscious and rushes him to Wen Wan's bed that very night.
After losing his memory, Wei Zheng becomes Zhao Heng, the Wen family's live-in son-in-law.
The hand that once wielded a sword to take lives now prepares meals instead.
At last, Wen Wan confirms that she is pregnant. Without hesitation, she drugs Wei Zheng unconscious and abandons him in the snowy forest of Cang Mountain, five hundred li away, to fend for himself.
Then, wearing a white flower in her hair and black gauze around her arm, she throws a grand feast to mourn her husband, who has “died suddenly.”
Whenever people mention Shopkeeper Wen, the residents of Ping County sigh, “That poor young lady!”
Her husband is dead, and she has to raise her father and two children.
She may be rolling in money, but her heart must be heavy with grief.
Wen Wan wipes her tears with a handkerchief and nods along, afraid someone will see how delighted she really is.
But later, Wen family's immense wealth attracts envious eyes, and Wen Wan is thrown into prison.
The investigator is none other than the renowned Marquis of Huai'an.
The Wen family runs around pleading and spends its entire fortune, but the case makes no progress.
In prison, the man in blue robes asks her with a stern expression, “Shopkeeper Wen, I hear you once vowed to remain unmarried and observe chastity for your late husband?”
Wen Wan trembles. “Brother, I've learned my lesson. Please let me go.”

The synopsis says that after getting pregnant, she immediately knocked the male lead unconscious and threw him into a snowy forest to fend for himself. Is she really that cruel? 🤔
The beginning was good, but later on, there were more and more parts that didn't fit the character's persona or logic: 1. The female lead's plan to leave the father and keep the son involves knocking the male lead unconscious and abandoning him far away. He's not a child who can be lost if thrown far away. He's a smart, skilled adult man.
To be honest, after decades of reading, reading this makes me feel that books can return to the high-quality writing era of the past. The sentences flow smoothly and naturally, with transitions that are natural and not abrupt or forced. The essay-like narrative style avoids the commercialized writing patterns of today. It's a pleasant read. The only downside is the slow update speed.
I haven't seen such a good and enjoyable book in a long time.
Reading this author's book is like eating a spicy hot pot – fresh, fragrant, and flavorful, with a rich texture. The writing is concise and to the point, but it's too bland; one bite isn't enough! 🙂 I've already voted for the book, please keep writing!
I stumbled upon this book, and it's truly excellent. The plot is tight, the writing is skillful, the imagery is vivid, and each character is well-developed. The author has made the short chapters incredibly witty and engaging. I had a constant smile on my face the whole time. The family of the female lead, with their sesame-filled faces, were especially hilarious.
Faced with the same dire situation of being wiped out, the Wen family exudes a strong sense of humanity: a sickly old man whose sanity is ambiguous, a woman named Aunt Liu who's obsessed with love and prone to swearing, Aunt Cui who's all smiles in public but fleeing in private, and the bandit-like bodyguard, Master Tu... The female protagonist doesn't single-handedly turn the tide; rather, the entire Wen family, assembled from various parts, bravely moves forward, which is quite interesting.
I can't help but say a few words
The female protagonist, as portrayed by the author, is morally reprehensible and has a moral bottom line below that of ordinary people. It's unclear what the author's basis was for characterizing her this way. She's supposed to be the richest woman in the county with immense wealth, yet a group of people are endlessly arguing over a mere one or two thousand taels of silver (equivalent to approximately one or two million RMB), going on and on and on...
Just because the author has awakened and voiced his support.
The author has clearly awakened to female empowerment. Through the voice of the female protagonist, who faces the risk of having her inheritance stolen upon transmigrating, the author expresses a firm determination to defend her interests, reflects on the institution of marriage, and criticizes the various characters' implicit acceptance of women as mere appendages to men.
Based solely on the synopsis's description of her knocking out the male lead and abandoning him in a remote mountain forest to fend for himself after finding out she's pregnant, I won't read it. It's clearly a morally questionable book; I wonder what you guys think of it as good.
This book has potential.
The author is quite famous; nowadays, the screen is filled with ancient-to-modern time-travel stories, just looking at the titles makes me want to vomit. Your book has a high degree of originality, the plot is fresh, and it's not tiring to read. If you keep writing at this pace, it's sure to be a success. Take care of your health and keep writing. Keep it up! 🤭🤭🌹
