I recommend a novel called "Sweet Concubine Nine Nine". The female protagonist's name is Nine Nine, and the male protagonist is the ninth prince of Beichen Kingdom. After being framed by someone, his grandfather told him in his dream that as long as the youngest daughter of the richest merchant in Jiangnan, Mu Jiu, marries over to celebrate, the ninth prince will immediately wake up. In this novel, Jiu Jiu was not only a beautiful and intelligent woman, but she also had amazing acupuncture skills and played a key role in the story. In addition, there was also a pet in this novel, but it was called Xiao You. It was a little Totoro, not Ugly. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
