Cousin, Wait a Moment

Food blogger Su Yan was born into a family of favored consorts after transmigrating into a book, and the family was confiscated from the start. Her mother went into labor prematurely from the shock, and Su Yan was born frail. The imperial physician declared she wouldn't live past twenty. Her loving parents and elders couldn't bear to see her become a lonely ghost, so they decided to marry her off to her cousin. A distant cousin she barely knew protested: "Cousin, wait! I'm your cousin too!!" The capital's most eligible young nobleman, Yuan Nu, got married, and to a sickly girl who wouldn't live to twenty, no less. The noblewomen of the capital were heartbroken. One woman bit her handkerchief, seething with jealousy. "She's just a short-lived invalid who's about to kick the bucket. Perhaps before long, the heir will be free again." Yet this so-called invalid managed to become the heir's wife, the Crown Princess, and then the Empress, all while barely clinging to life with a single bar of battery. Those people: "What happened to her being short-lived? How has she lived so long, enjoying wealth and glory her entire life?"
