Lin Jingchu was stabbed to death by a coworker, only to wake up as the cannon-fodder second daughter of the Pingyang Marquis Manor—a hopeless romantic doomed by love.
The original owner of the body had been desperately obsessed with a poor scholar, willing to live or die for him.
But Lin Jingchu only had one thought:
Slack off.
Slack off.
And slack off some more!
Unfortunately, reality refused to cooperate.
Her elder sister schemed a bride swap, and through a twist of fate, she ended up marrying Zhang Zhaoming, the empire’s newly crowned top scholar.
On the surface, the man appeared elegant, refined, and honorable.
In truth, he was calculating, dark-hearted, and always several moves ahead.
She played dumb and muddled through life; he watched coldly from the sidelines.
She only wanted to eat, sleep, and drift through life in peace, yet he dragged her straight into the vicious struggle for the throne.
Palace coups. Assassination attempts. Flight and exile. Childbirth…
And when she finally escaped with her child and hid among the common people, believing she could at last live quietly—
That man crossed through armies and battlefields to find her again.
