Cheng Xiqian.

The only heir of the Cheng family.

The Cheng family had a long history of commerce. They didn't have anything else, except for two words: "rich" !

In this world, having money without power is absolutely unacceptable. That's why the Cheng family, being intelligent people, donated a minor military officer title, step by step, they made it to where they are today.

Cheng Xi's father, Cheng Yeshan, due to his handsome features, was noticed by the Emperor while on duty in the palace. The Emperor was immediately captivated and praised him as "a jade tree among orchids, not like a guard at all." He immediately promoted him to the rank of fourth-rank ceremonial officer.

In this capital city where officials of the first and second ranks walked everywhere, Cheng Yeshan, despite his low official position, became a close minister to the emperor. For a time, the Cheng family enjoyed boundless glory.

Of course, there were those who felt envious and jealous. But who could blame the emperor for favoring Cheng Yeshan? He was considered to be of high moral character, honest and loyal, and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, no one dared to make things difficult for him openly.

And yet this glorious Mount Chengye has its own worries.

That would make her an unmarried daughter of eighteen.

Cheng Xi's body was frail, and she rarely went out. Although she knew that there were many jokes about her marriage prospects, she didn't care.

Until she saved the male lead, Wang Changming.

This Wang Changming, as a modern man who has crossed over into ancient times, naturally thinks differently from other men of that era.

Cheng Xiqian, who was inexperienced and naive, had never seen dating tactics from modern times. He was soon captivated and bewildered by them.

At this time, Cheng Chuxi, her cousin, came to Chengfu to stay temporarily.

Cheng Xiqian dislikes her cousin who always stares at her clothes and jewelry, but she can't refuse because the girl is the chief's granddaughter.

Cheng Chuxia took a liking to Wang Changming in just three days.

At the beginning of summer, she wanted to have Wang Changming all to herself, so she pushed the frail Cheng Xiqian into the water. Unexpectedly, this also caused Wang Changming to save Cheng Xiqian.

This has been seen and touched, but it's hard to end without marriage.

Even though Cheng Chuxia didn't succeed in stealing the chicken, she still lost the rice.

When Daye returned from the mountains, he learned of this and, seeing that his daughter was willing, immediately arranged for them to marry.

Although he was a son-in-law, Wang Changming's status in the Cheng family wasn't like that of an ordinary赘婿 (married man who lives with his wife's family). Instead, due to Cheng Yeshan's gratitude and Cheng Xiqian's admiration, he became a legitimate master of the Cheng family.

Three months after their marriage, Cheng Yeshan sent someone to investigate Wang Changming's background. Upon his return, he learned that Wang Changming had a wife and daughter back home.

Cheng Yeshan was furious but didn't dare tell his daughter, who was already pregnant.

Wang Changming, relying on his eloquent tongue, put on a heartbreaking performance in private, persuading Cheng Yeshan not to pursue the matter.

Though Cheng Yeshan was reluctant, he had to compromise out of love for his daughter.

Yet, unbeknownst to him, the maidservant in the mansion had already informed Cheng Xi of the wind.

Chéng Xī Qiān, upon learning of her pregnancy, had been feeling unwell. Hearing this news made her even more agitated and angry, causing her to fall seriously ill in bed.

Originally, she wanted to question him, but seeing Cheng Yexian's worried expression, she chose to feign ignorance in the end.

Afterwards, the story shifts to Wang Changming's rise to prominence.

With Cheng Yeshan appearing before the emperor, he rose to prominence, riding on the coattails of the Cheng family to attain a high position.

It's not that he is ungrateful, it's just that the male lead is ultimately the male lead. How can he be a male lead without a few confidantes?

Wang Changming's career is booming, and he hasn't been idle in private either.

Today, I angered the young lady from the Prime Minister's family, tomorrow I happened to meet the most beloved princess of the Emperor... In short, peach blossoms are constantly blooming.

Chengxi was increasingly disappointed in Changming and had a big fight with him.

For a son-in-law to take a concubine? The Cheng family should be ashamed of themselves!

Of course, those noblewomen would not be willing to be under her, a mere ceremonial attendant.
