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)


Fengyu needs to nurture her pregnancy, and Xie Xun is busy with numerous affairs, leaving no one to look after Ruyi and Mingzhu in the palace. The old lady suggested letting Ruyi and Mingzhu stay at the Feng Family residence. The old lady enjoys having children around her, and Mingzhu would find it convenient to travel from the Feng Family to the Imperial College. Lan Ningzhen seems intentionally distant from Mingzhu and rarely lets her return to the Lan Family. Mingzhu always follows Ruyi, either staying at the Prince Manor or in the palace, with upbringing entrusted to the Beining Royal Family. She is a rightful princess, and the Lan Family fears affecting her future, so they avoid interacting with her. Mingzhu, being a clever child, understands that her mother and grandfather are considering her best interests. Although she feels sad, she accepts this and occasionally secretly visits her mother and grandfather. Most of the time, she stays with Ruyi.
