The Young Lady Never Seeks to Improve Herself

(A terrible title, a terrible blurb, no romance, metaphysics) “Taishu pulse reading is a form of physiognomy. It can discern status, predict good and ill fortune, and calculate calamities and blessings. Good sir, would you let me read your pulse? One reading costs ten thousand!” See? Making money is so easy. Want a job? Bah! Having lived two lifetimes, Qin Liuxi's ideal has always been to muddle through. After all, there are always people in this world who are content to be lazy fish and have no desire to improve, and she's happy to take on that useless business! But when a whole family appeared before her, miserable and distressed, Qin Liuxi's lazy days came to an end, too. With the Qin family on the verge of collapse, and a maid holding out an empty cash box and begging her to start earning money, Qin Liuxi had no choice but to shoulder the responsibilities of the eldest daughter: managing the household, supporting the elders, and raising the children! Qin Liuxi: “I clearly got the lazy-fish script. Who switched it on me?” Her cousin, left questioning her existence after being roasted by the eldest young lady: “It feels like Big Sister looks at us as if we're a nuisance!” The Fourth Young Master Qin, toughened up and taught a lesson by the eldest young lady: “Be bold and leave out the ‘feels like’!” Little Fifth Qin, driven into a sulk by the eldest young lady's relentless tutoring, solemnly counts on his fingers as he answers the question of what Big Sister is good for: “She can ward off evil and catch ghosts, read faces and draw talismans, treat illnesses and save people. Wait, which one did you ask about?” Later, someone asked Qin Liuxi what her dream would be if she could live her life over again. Qin Liuxi was silent for a long time. “Make no effort and muddle through for a hundred years!”
