Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead.

A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days.

She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good.

A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine?

The others may pass, but she won't.

Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect.

Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her?

She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body.

Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing.

Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms.

"Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?"

Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining.

"I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart.

"...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close.

"Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her.

"Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.

"I'll help you wash the vegetables." Lu Lin saw the vegetables in Fu Xiaoxiao's hand and stepped forward to take them.


Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at his outstretched hand indifferently and avoided it. "No need, I don't need your help with this."


Lu Lin paused, and Lu Chen by his side suddenly sobered up.


Lu Chen looked at Fu Xiaoxiao; she had never been so cold towards them before, always accepting their help.


Noticing the strange atmosphere between Lu Lin and Fu Xiaoxiao, Lu Chen carefully tugged on Lu Lin's clothes.


Lu Lin nodded sadly, not hiding it from Lu Chen.


Fu Xiaoxiao ignored Lu Lin and Lu Chen. After cooking the vegetable porridge, she first filled a lunch box, preparing to take it to Lu Feng later.


Then she filled a bowl for herself and began eating breakfast in the courtyard, completely unlike her caring manner of the previous days with the two children.
