Du Wanchun's good marriage was snatched away by her stepsister, and she was forced by her stepmother to marry a disabled man from the Zhou family.
She thought she had fallen into a fire pit, but who would have known that the impoverished Zhou family suddenly changed after she married in.
The poisoned ducks were lively and lively and laid clutch after clutch of eggs.
Crops grew one after another on the barren rocky land.
The granary at home is full and there is no room for gold in the house.
The blind brother-in-law was promoted to a higher position, and the deaf brother-in-law was made a marquis and a prime minister.
Her handsome husband is no longer disabled, his waist is healed, and he holds her tightly every night.
As life was getting better and better, Du Wanchun discovered an unknown secret of the Zhou family.
My usually kind mother-in-law is not an ordinary farm woman.
The honest and sensible brothers-in-law are not ordinary farm boys.
The husband who dotes on her deeply is definitely not a delicate little husband.

[The entire court is delighted + everyone is pampering her to the skies + a joyful occasion] She's transmigrated into a book. Luckily, she's got a system that grants her lucrative quest rewards. Unfortunately, it's a rigged system. Which emperor would want to be ridden like a horse, which courtier would want to wear women's clothing, and which prince would want to be spanked? Even more tragically, she's at the very scene of the rebel assassination attempt, about to be thrown out as bait. Yuan Ruan fumed. But what can she do about being a baby? She can just lie down and drink a bowl of Meng Po soup. [Alas, only a cup of tea left before she's thrown out as bait! So frustrating.] Unexpectedly, the emperor dodged a fatal blow. The accompanying general bravely rescued her and presented her to the emperor. Yuan Ruan's eyes lit up: [Good man! I'll never again follow the trend and call you a cuckolded tyrant.] [Huh? Hold on tight! "Bra... Your Majesty almost fell on me."] *Three years later, a rumor spread among the people of the five kingdoms. A majestic young princess appeared in the imperial palace of the Xia Kingdom. Tyrants allowed her to bully them, generals volunteered to be his heirs, and even the princes were beaten by her, yet no one blamed her. Initially, the common people of the five kingdoms treated this as a joke. Until they witnessed the princess painting a minister's left cheek in public. Far from being angry, the minister offered his right cheek to the princess as well. The emperor of Xia even offered a smile, "Who else do you want to paint? I'll capture them for you!" The common people of the five kingdoms responded: !!! The deafened prince responded: !!! Is the Xia Kingdom doomed?! Have the emperor and his courtiers gone mad?!
