The Daughter of a Small Household

Zhen Baozhu had been quite content with her life since birth: her parents were harmonious, her brothers were friendly and respectful, and her sisters were close.

That was until the foremost rake in Suzhou City sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, wishing to take Baozhu as a concubine. This notorious villain annually saw several concubines die in his household. Just last year, he had committed a crime by forcibly abducting a commoner's daughter and accidentally causing her death.

However, his family wielded immense power, and he was released after only two days in custody. The Zhen family, old and young, were sleepless with worry over this matter.

Before the family could deliberate on a solution, the matchmaker called again the next day. Zhen Baozhu smiled as she accepted the gifts from the matchmaker, publicly saying that the matter should not be publicized, but secretly the family quietly sold off their assets.

By the time the rake came looking for them, the Zhen family's shop had long since closed, their land was sold off cleanly, and the entire family had disappeared without a trace. Only the gifts sent by the matchmaker were neatly arranged in the center of the courtyard.

Meanwhile, Zhen Baozhu was leading her entire family, marveling at the gates of Bianjing City! After transmigrating for so long, she could finally witness a prosperous capital.

Unfortunately, the silver they brought was not quite enough in Bianjing, where every inch of land was precious. Well, she had to roll up her sleeves and continue to strive!
