The Frail Young Lady's Daily Household Affairs

Qu Jingling died at the worst possible time in her previous life! Her husband, Pei Qi, had just been appointed Left Reminder, a junior eighth-rank official. Young and already close to the emperor, he had become a famous figure in Yanjing City. Then she died of a lingering illness. People of the time lamented her bitter fate: she had never enjoyed a single day of happiness with her husband, and had died at a relatively young age. Only Qu Jingling knew the truth: she had used her death to escape the wolf’s den that was her husband’s family. When she opened her eyes again, she was once more the gluttonous, sleepy Sixth Young Lady of the Left Chancellor’s residence. With the memories of her past life, she understood that it was better to rely on herself than on anyone else. So, when she grew up, she made a shocking decision: to go into business with her maternal relatives. “What? Our rivals tampered with our spices? We’ll work from the inside and out to expose the spy, then send them straight to the authorities to be dealt with.” “What? My greedy sisters want to get something for nothing and steal my shops? I’ll play the fool to catch them, pretend to go along with them, and leave them worse off than before.” There was just one nuisance: Young General Chen. He stuck to her like a plaster, handing her a knife when she killed, keeping watch when she set fires, and helping out when she opened a shop. Whenever she went on a matchmaking date and married, he’d run around like a mad dog biting everyone, scaring all the men away from her.
