Thoughts of Spring in the Boudoir

She transmigrates into the body of a noble family’s legitimate daughter.

She can charm her duke father and keep her half-sisters in line.

She can work the elite social scene and take down her own stepmother.

She is in the prime of her youth, shining brighter than anyone.

Who could have guessed the emperor’s decree would marry her off just like that…

To a coarse soldier who knows nothing but fighting and feeding horses.

Her long campaign to divorce him goes nowhere, while the general calmly fishes and drinks tea every day.

…

Don’t even think of turning the music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, and flowers I spent years mastering

into your daily grind of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea!
