Latest Sibling's Care Novel

Yu Li transmigrates into the body of a peasant girl sold off by her own family to marry a sickly scholar from the same village in a bid to improve his fortunes.

At first, she assumes the marriage is just for show and that her real role would be to act as a maid in the scholar’s household. However, to her surprise, she finds herself truly becoming his wife, with the authority to manage the household—and finally having consistent meals instead of worrying about her next.

It doesn’t take long for her to discover that the scholar’s family is just as poverty-stricken, barely scraping by.

Notes:

3. The heroine is exceptionally strong, and no amount of scheming can match up to absolute strength.

When An Xin opened her eyes, she found herself back in the 1980s. Her mother was critically ill and younger siblings so hungry they were skin and bones—all of whom now relied on her for survival.

To make matters worse, she woke up to the entire village witnessing her in an embarrassing moment and inexplicably ended up married to a cold and distant man!

What a joke! An Xin resolved that in this era of scarcity, armed with her portable warehouse, she would never let herself be tied down by a man.

However, after marriage, the penniless geological survey captain transformed into a rising star in the jade industry. Meanwhile, An Xin’s identity as a queen in the transportation world gradually came to light.

As they each shone brightly in their respective fields, they came to realize that only the light of one another could illuminate their worlds.

“I always believed the greatest love in the world was meeting the best version of you at the best time, until you appeared before me in a mess. In that moment, I knew—you were the one, for eternity.”
