Fengyu loved gold, silver, and jewels more than anything. Her greatest dream was to eat, drink, and enjoy life as a salted fish. Her fiancé was the third-ranked scholar in the imperial exams, handsome as the legendary Pan An. Her salted fish life was perfectly complete.

Her husband was poor? No problem, she was rich!

But who would have thought that the winds of fate would shift, causing her soul to transmigrate into the body of Xie Xun, a dashing and rebellious young marquis, even making him lose a leg due to her. To survive on the battlefield, the salted fish had to turn over and rise, learning horseback riding, archery, and military strategy. The young marquis, bearing her face, caused chaos everywhere. Her fiancé, deeming her wild and foolish, broke off their engagement.

She got engaged, and he reneged. She made money, and he squandered it. Her mountains of gold and silver were all emptied by him, and the two became locked in a love-hate relationship. Gradually, the plot started to go off the rails.

The ex-fiancé, after breaking off the engagement, regretted it and confessed his deep love.

Fengyu: I've already fallen for someone else.

A scheming girl at the archery range tried to kill her, only for Fengyu to stab herself instead.

Fengyu: What to do now? It looks like you've committed murder.

Her parents, who had defended the borders for decades, returned home only to say, "Daughter, go follow the young marquis and start a rebellion!"

How did the originally carefree salted fish storyline turn into one of a villain rising?

In the end…

Raising a husband turned out to be a money pit, but the husband was certainly worth it!

A sickly schemer hiding their true nature (Fengyu) vs. A dashing but cunning strategist (Xie Xun)


On Xie Xun's birthday, Jiaozhou City remained calm and tranquil. By the end of October, the weather had turned cooler; the twelve states had already entered early winter. Though the sun blazed high, the cold wind crept into one's bones. Xie Xun's injuries had healed, but he could still feel faint pain when the weather changed abruptly. Zhang Lingzheng once said his leg poison had cleared, and it would take a full year of proper care for complete recovery. Xie Xun had initially planned to head south to warmer climates after Xie Zhang's wedding to recuperate his leg injury. As a military general, he didn't want to leave behind lingering ailments. But the times shifted unpredictably, leaving no room for recovery. Instead, he was bound to reside long-term in bitterly cold Ningzhou. His wounds might never fully heal, though medicine could suppress the pain, which fortunately wasn't too intense—something he could still endure.
