(The title and blurb are ridiculous, so ignore them. The book itself is really good.)
Yu Zhi, a seasoned couch potato from the cultivation world, transmigrated into the body of the third young master's concubine in the Great Qing Dynasty. The woman was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a delicate figure and soft charms. She had been offered to the third young master by a local official while he was out investigating a case.
Once Yu Zhi figured out her situation, she stayed completely calm. A concubine it was, then. The job came with free meals and lodging, great pay, few demands, and a handsome, well-built boss who was generous with his money. Where else could she find such a sweet gig?
Yu Zhi, the ultimate couch potato, lived it up in the Great Qing Dynasty.
As she kept coasting along, her boss began looking at her with increasing ardor.
As she kept coasting along, her boss defied his family and insisted on marrying her, making her the lady of the house.
No! A marriage between people of unequal status had no future, and office romances were a terrible idea. She just wanted to be a low-level employee, coasting through life. She had no plans to climb the ladder.
But faced with her boss's tempting offer, couch potato Yu Zhi stroked her chin, tempted. Maybe she could switch to a new map and keep coasting?
It was a bolt from the blue: the junior minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the third young master of the Wuan Marquis household, had fallen for a lowborn concubine and insisted on marrying her as his principal wife.
On their wedding day, hearts broke all across the capital.
The match was far too unequal, and nobody believed a concubine could hold on to the position of Third Madam Wen. Everyone waited for Yu Zhi to be cast aside.
But one year, then two, passed, and Yu Zhi still hadn't been cast aside. Her husband only doted on her more, making her increasingly radiant.
Three years, then five, passed. Yu Zhi still hadn't been cast aside. She had children, and her husband held her in the palm of his hand.
She became the woman envied most by the entire capital!
No one knew that Yu Zhi was the woman Wen Jiuxiao had risked everything, even his life, to marry. He didn't love this world, but for her, he was willing to treat it kindly.
