The young master of the Qian family fell seriously ill. An old monk divined that no one born in the Year of the Tiger should be in the household. Tao Hua, a kitchen maid, was released from the mansion and returned to Xiahe Village. However, this time she would not be robbed of her reward money and forced to marry her ruthless cousin like in her previous life. This time, Tao Hua would use her cooking skills to earn money so that her parents and elder brother could live a good life.

Mr. Zhan has decreed: Fourth Young Master Zhan Beichen, in order to consolidate the Zhan family's status as the most prestigious and powerful noble family, shall take the foolish girl Shen Chuhua as his concubine. The formalities of marriage can be waived, and he shall take another wife in the future.

On their wedding day, the aloof young master Zhan knelt on one knee before his bride and swore, "I kneel before my parents on both knees, and before my wife on one knee! I, Zhan Beichen, willingly marry Shen Chuhua as my wife, and I will never take a concubine for the rest of my life. My love and affection will be reserved solely for you!"

The woman who was once mentally challenged and heavily made up has transformed after marriage into a fashionable, skilled doctor who knows kung fu and drives a rickshaw.

"Fourth brother, your silly wife has cut your grandma open..."

“Dad, that’s called surgery. My wife is a miracle doctor; saving lives is her duty.”

"Fourth brother, your wife took all the Western fabrics that Mr. John sent and made clothes from them. She's really showing off!"

"Madam, my wife is young, beautiful, and gentle. Please don't make things difficult for her!"

Lin Zhiyun was a notoriously lazy and foolish girl in the surrounding villages, yet she had a perfect marriage arranged from childhood with Xu Xiucai, who was now her husband. Her older cousin, Lin Xiuyue, on the other hand, was a famously clever and skillful girl, yet she had a terrible marriage arranged from childhood with Shen Junchuan, a lame scoundrel. People in the village often said that it would be better if the sisters' marriages could be switched. So, on the day of the sisters' weddings, the elders of the Lin family secretly switched the brides.

Not long after, everyone discovered that Lin Xiuyue, the good girl who married into the Xu family, was good at nothing, while Lin Zhiyun, the lazy girl who married into the Shen family, was proficient in spinning, weaving and embroidery. Together with the prodigal son Shen Junchuan, they lived a good life.

Waking up one morning, Yun Shu found herself transmigrated into the body of a lowly maid in the Duke of Tang's mansion. In the wealthy and comfortable Duke's residence, Yun Shu began a leisurely life, sheltered by riches and honor. She started earning money and buying land, all in hopes of becoming a small landowner and living a comfortable and happy life. However, that dull-witted general seemed inflexible, unwilling to let go of anything he wanted, and thus, he wouldn't let her go.

This is a story about "Zhuge Liang, the teacher of all ages".

In the first year of Jian'an (200 AD), Lü Bu raided Xiapi in Xuzhou, while Yuan Shu attacked Huaiyin. The time traveler Zhuge Jin was trapped in Huaiyin by Yuan Shu's forces and had no choice but to help Liu Bei, who was in dire straits, to turn the tide and defeat the enemy.

Since those usurpers of the Han dynasty have offended us, don't blame us for bringing out our second brother, Zhuge Liang, ten years ahead of schedule and dealing with them one by one.

An upgraded version of the "Longzhong Plan," and a Zhuge Liang whose wisdom surpasses historical fact, what kind of new world will he create?

It is well known that a writer's intelligence determines the upper limit of a character's intelligence. Because Luo Guanzhong's intelligence was not as high as Zhuge Liang's, he failed to perfectly portray Zhuge Liang's wisdom and instead left behind the regret of "being so intelligent as to be almost supernatural."

Although I am not as brilliant as Zhuge Liang, let's try to make up for this regret.

Hair like chives, cut it and it grows back; head like a chicken, cut it and it crows again!

Officials should not be feared, but the common people should never be underestimated!

Does the tide of the times sweep over individual destinies?

A fate swept along by the times can only rise and fall with the times.

The situation in the country has deteriorated to the point of collapse, and the once powerful Ming Empire is now in its twilight years.

Border soldier Chen Wang looked up at the shattered land of China and gripped the goose-feather saber at his waist.

...

The Southern Zhili region suffered calamity, the central capital Fengyang fell, the imperial tombs were destroyed, and the whole country was shaken.

The emperor ordered that the bandits be quelled by June. Hong Chengchou led troops from four provinces out of Tongguan to suppress the rebellion. The bandits fled west and re-entered Shaanxi.

With the defeat and fall of the Southern Mongols, Ejei, son of Ligdan Khan, surrendered with the Imperial Seal of the State and submitted to the Later Jin.

In the sixteenth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, the Ming dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Should the Ming surrender to the Qing or resist them?
