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)


Xie Jue had his identity exposed and fled from Beiman in disgrace. No matter how clever he was or how well he disguised himself, being alone with Fang Chuning in enemy territory and separated by a snowy mountain, they were bound to slip up one day. Hence, their escape was very hasty. Du Fang intercepted him on the snowy mountain but let him go due to over a year of friendship. The Second Prince, failing to recognize people correctly, allowed wolves into his home, leading to the collapse of the Beiman Royal Family. The entire Prince Manor was implicated, and Du Fang and other strategists barely escaped with their lives, having their careers ruined. The fate of everyone in the Second Prince Manor was the same as Du Fang's, living poorly in the turbulent Fox City. If not for ties to the Manor, they might have fallen into slavery.
