Hard to reach the high branches

Then her life would be perfect, and she would desire nothing more. Li Jing is the only surviving legitimate son of the Emperor's original wife. His lifelong wishes are To slaughter everyone involved in the deaths of his Empress Mother and his elder siblings; To place his elder brother's posthumous child on the throne; Aside from that, he desires nothing more! These two people, who originally had absolutely nothing in common, were brought together because Mo Yi's elder sister climbed her way into a good marriage and casually handed her the "spare tire"... The trajectory of fate changed... Her intelligence and meticulousness made his path of revenge smooth. And he gave her sprawling courtyards, prosperous shops, and a life of luxury. In the end, the Prince Regent, who had never cared for matters of the heart, pampered the ordinary girl into his precious little wife... No rebirth, no transmigration, no golden fingers, and no spatial dimension. The male lead is not "pure," and the female lead is not "beautiful." There is no love at first sight, nor is there any "chasing the wife through a crematorium" drama. (The author scratches the back of their head—hmm, I have a rebellious streak... Writing this for like-minded readers; if you don't like it, please avoid it on your own, no need to burn incense for me.) Marriage first, love later; slice-of-life domesticity. There are conspiracies and satisfying moments, but more so, it is about the steady process of living together, helping one another, understanding one another, and falling in love. The author's reliability in finishing stories is excellent. Three other great works—*Little Insect*, *Rebirth of the Elegant Lady*, and *The Duchess is Beautiful but Black-hearted*—await the readers' appreciation...
