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)


The matter of not being able to produce a betrothal gift, naturally, cannot be publicized or disclosed to the intended bride. This touches on a man's pride—no matter how bright and decisive Xie Jue is, he would rather people not know. So, Xie Jue secretly prepared the betrothal gifts. But deciding what gifts to prepare was a challenge for him; anything too valuable would be difficult to obtain. He certainly couldn't ask the Second Prince for money. The Second Prince, under the Princess's thoughtful guidance, rewarded Xie Jue with considerable silver coins and gold for his merits. Using these funds for the betrothal gifts should suffice. Additionally, Xie Jue had his own business ventures with Du Fang and others, so silver was not an issue. As for the wedding preparations, they were taken on by the Prince Manor, as the Princess would never want her younger sister to suffer even the slightest grievance.
