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's gaze swept over the Great Prince opposite him. He was the eldest son of the King of Sangnan, thirty-two years old. His brows and eyes didn't resemble the King of Sangnan's, nor did he appear to be a Sannan, as he was tall, robust, with deep-set features, more like a man from the northern regions. Xie Jue had seen Ying Yi's report. The birth mother of the Sangnan King's eldest son was a Ningzhou person, and his situation in Sangnan was much like Xie Jue's upbringing in the Capital City, also growing up under heavy discrimination. His biological mother died early, and he recognized the King of Sangnan's favored concubine as his mother. That concubine had no sons, thus she treated him as her own, and even the power from her maternal side supported the Great Prince.
