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 the day Xie Jue and Fang Chuning led the delegation to Sannan, the Grand Marshal also set out with his troops to return to Jiangnan. Xie Xun led the civil and military officials to bid farewell at the palace gates. Ruyi, knowing she wouldn't see her father for months, cried her heart out. Although Little Ru Yi had been raised by Xie Jue and often faced his cold demeanor, her nature was exceedingly gentle and emotional. Knowing Xie Jue would be away for so long, she had been unhappy for days. During the farewell, she wailed bitterly, and even Mingzhu's attempts to console her with sweets proved futile. Her cries were heart-wrenching. Xie Jue, truthfully, was soft-hearted because of her tears. If not for the treacherous and arduous journey to Sannan, he might've taken Ruyi along, treating it as an opportunity for her to explore the world.
