This Little Lady is Quite Extraordinary

Zhao Xiaotang transmigrated into a book.
The original owner’s parents went to the battlefield to fight and die, so she was raised by her uncle and aunt from a young age.
She met Chu Moran, and they liked each other. To help support his family, she sold bags.
Chu Moran said, “When I return victorious, I will come back in full bridal splendor to marry you.”
When the army triumphantly returned, he came back as a successful young general—but with him was a noblewoman appointed by the governor.
Chu Moran said, “Don’t cling to me anymore.”
Zhao Xiaotang said, “Fine, let’s make it clear. Return all the money I lent your family over the years.”
On the way home, she casually caught a petty thief as her husband.
It was less about catching him, more like saving him.
Her aunt’s family saw she was worthless and threw her out, which actually suited her just fine.
But this little thief had a noble bearing in his looks and actions, quite pleasing to the eye.
He was a bit hard to manage, and if she hadn’t had some leverage over him, she would’ve kicked him out already.
Actually, having someone by her side was nice; he had body warmth, could accompany her, and would actively help solve her problems.
Gradually, she seemed to like him a little?
Being with him felt like home, opening a steamed bun shop and growing old together wasn’t bad either.
Later, a group of people in splendid clothes knelt before her husband and shouted loudly, “Ninth Prince.”
Turns out he was the emperor and empress’s most favored son—the Ninth Prince, Tan Jingchen.
Tan Jingchen tenderly said to her, “Come with me to the capital.”
