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)


When news of the great victory in Ningzhou reached West State, Fengyu was overjoyed. It was the best news she had heard in the past two months. The entire West State was brimming with joy and harmony upon hearing of the triumph. Xie Jue and Xie Xun initially thought it would take until summer to drive the Beiman out of the battlefield, but unexpectedly, they accomplished it in just two months. However, throwing 300,000 troops into an all-out decisive battle meant not just risking everything but a fight to the death—either one side perishes or the other. In this life-and-death struggle, the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry, betting all their forces on this single campaign, fought fiercely, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides, ultimately forcing the Beiman to withdraw from the battlefield.
