About this series

Description

The rating has just opened and will rise. [Marriage First, Love Later + Warm Daily Life + One-on-One Romance, Both Pure]

Yu Lingchun suddenly dies in her previous life and transmigrates to ancient times, becoming the daughter of a minor official.

Though her father holds a low position, his ambitions are anything but small. He is determined to marry his daughter to the son of an earl—the notorious playboy of Bianjing. He excels at chasing cats and teasing dogs, eating, drinking, and having fun, driving his daughter to starve herself and take her own life before Yu Lingchun transmigrates into her body.

After dying suddenly in her previous life, all Yu Lingchun wants in this life is to be a salted fish—to live lazily and without ambition.

So what if her husband is a playboy? Once she marries him, she will be the Young Madam of the Earl's Residence. With money and free time at her disposal, how could she not live well? As for love—why would she expect romance in ancient times? Wouldn't it be better to simply enjoy her own life?

After Yu Lingchun marries into the earl's household, her mother-in-law is kind, the elders dote on her, and her sisters-in-law get along harmoniously. The only exception is that playboy, who takes an instant dislike to her and does not even show up on their wedding night!

Yu Lingchun does not care in the slightest. She admires flowers in spring, gathers lotus flowers in summer, enjoys autumn outings, and eats hot pot in winter. Every day is carefree and blissful.

Who could have guessed that the playboy would suddenly go mad and start saying that he wanted to improve himself—and even earn her an imperial honorific?



At first, when he heard that his parents had arranged a marriage for him, with a dignified and virtuous young lady from a prominent family as his fiancée, He Zhaoran refused outright. He hated women whose lives were bound by rules. They might be beautiful, but they were like paintings—fragrance-free, flavorless, and unbearably dull.

Later, when he was kneeling on abacus beads while clutching a pillow, begging his wife to open the door and let him into her room, he wished he could return and slap his younger self across the face.

What did he mean by fragrance-free and flavorless? His wife was clearly the most beautiful woman in the world, peerless under heaven!

Highlight: This is not a dominant female-lead story or a strong-female-lead story, but a lighthearted slice-of-life novel about eating, drinking, and enjoying everyday life.
