[Traditional Historical Romance] [Merchant Couple] [Sweet Post-Marital Life] [Daily Affection] [Domestic Trifles]
A gentle and clear-headed female lead who won’t be pushed around
VS
A considerate, humorous, and resourceful male lead.
The young daughter of the Shen family in Baihe Town marries the second son of the Xie family, who runs a crude medicine shop in Pingshan County. It is said that he is away from home all year round and his family has fallen on hard times. Unexpectedly, they are very loving after marriage—exceptionally loving—and remain so for a lifetime. (Both are virgins before marriage, 1v1)
Newlywed Stage:
Small-town girl Shen Qi: “Everyone says I’m a jinx whose engagement was broken off, and I have no one in my maternal family to support me.”
Business prodigy Xie Yuduo: “We are bound as husband and wife, our love unwavering. With you here, I, Xie Er, can have such enviable good fortune.”
Daily Life After Marriage:
Shen Qi, who rules the roost at home: “Husband, can you please be a little more serious!”
The increasingly unserious Xie Yuduo: “Second Young Madam, I beg you to dote on me.” (seductively)
Main Plotline: The rags-to-riches story of Mr. and Mrs. Shen-Xie, rising step by step from a prominent family in a small town that has fallen on hard times to becoming immensely wealthy and influential magnates in the capital.
(They remain merchants throughout and do not become officials or ministers, nor are they of imperial descent.)
(The male lead has two great loves in his life: going out to earn money and coming home to tease his wife.)
Fictional setting, please do not fact-check. Slow-paced and super sweet. A story of domestic trifles and enduring love.
