Green Tea Stepdaughter: Daily Survival in the Mansion

Chu Yufu accidentally transmigrated into a novel, becoming a cannon-fodder concubine daughter who wouldn’t survive past chapter sixty. In the original story, her legitimate sister and cousin were fighting over the heir of a noble family, while she was about to be married off to a s*umbag by her stepmother to serve as a stepping stone for her brother. Before the meeting with the s*umbag, her stepmother specifically instructed, “Dress brightly to catch Young Master Li’s eye.” The next day, at the chrysanthemum banquet, she appeared in a full pink outfit, making a grand entrance and smiling with a hint of sly sweetness, “Mother, is this bright enough?” After finally shaking off the s*umbag, her stepmother immediately betrothed her to a minor military officer whom her legitimate sister had rejected. Seeing the officer’s name, she didn’t make a fuss this time— The future Great General of the Northern Frontier, unwanted by others? Then I’ll take him. Unexpectedly, on the day their birth charts were to be matched, news of a military victory at the border reached the capital. The minor officer had become a great general. Her stepmother snatched away the marriage proposal, declaring, “Our Yufu’s fate is ill-omened and incompatible with his.” She then handed the betrothal to her own daughter. …. Pei Yue first met Chu Yufu at the Li family’s chrysanthemum banquet. Adorned with jewels and wearing a pink dress, she stood out starkly among the elegantly dressed noble ladies. She appeared foolish and garish. The next time he saw Chu Yufu was in a pharmacy during the Lantern Festival. With a calm expression, she eloquently debated medical principles with the shop’s physician: “If you’re so knowledgeable, how come you don’t know that in such cases, it’s necessary to first promote yang and induce sweating? Only then will Ephedra Decoction be effective.” Standing on the second floor of the pharmacy, Pei Yue gazed at the fair, delicate face downstairs. He was momentarily stunned, then raised an eyebrow slightly, tapping his slender fingers lightly on the table. Who would have thought that Miss Chu had two faces? He had originally intended to reject the marriage arranged by his uncle, but now he suddenly felt it might not be such a bad idea. Two months later, after a great military victory, Pei Yue returned home only to learn that his fiancée was about to be swapped. He smirked. What was the Chu family thinking? Did they really believe he would accept just anyone?
