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 went to find Chen Gui. Chen Gui was the leader of the current generation of the Chen Family in Zhongzhou. During the last upheaval in Zhongzhou, Xie Xun suppressed the rebellion, and General Chen died in battle for the Yuwen Family, saving Chen Gui. Now, Chen Gui has retired, holding only a nominal position without real power. After Zhou Buyan came to Zhongzhou, he further cleaned up the Chen Family's influence, causing some turmoil in Zhongzhou. Although the Chen Family is extinct, their influence runs deep. They've been in Zhongzhou for many years, with complex marital ties intertwined. Xie Xun couldn't possibly remove all officials in Zhongzhou. Among these officials, whether civil or military, all have marital ties to the Chen Family. They also know that Zhongzhou was the Yuwen Family's territory, hence they aren't valued by Xie Xun, and they increasingly banded together, causing considerable trouble for Zhou Buyan and others.
