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)


Last night, Fang Chuning hosted a banquet for five generals at the tavern. He returned only after getting thoroughly drunk. He knew the court had sent classified information to General Chen Ming—information he had no access to, as General Chen Ming withheld it from the public. Even so, through observing the general's actions, Fang Chuning managed to infer a few things. While Zhongzhou ostensibly had a State Mansion overseeing it, in reality, it was under the military's control. It was just like Ningzhou, where the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry commanded more authority than the State Mansion, with the military always prevailing over local governance. General Chen Ming had disrupted the river transport from Bei River to Jiaozhou, leaving merchants crying out in despair. They were exceedingly displeased yet utterly helpless, confined as they were in Zhongzhou.
