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)


"The Yuwen Family is the legitimate lineage. Before I left the Capital City, I told you—Feng Shu is the emperor's inner demon. As long as she is killed, the heavens and earth will last forever, and the emperor will regain his clarity. His governance was once clear; despite his mistakes, there is still room for redemption. If it weren't for you helping Zhixu seize control of the Forbidden Army, how could he, alone, possibly usurp the throne in the Capital City? Have you considered where this leaves Abao? Do you wish for Abao to become the Crown Prince of a fallen dynasty? Have you betrayed your sister, your nephew, and gone against your grandfather's dying wish?" Lin Hongcheng raged, his fury consuming him. "Now you even want to persuade the clans to implement new governance. If the clans lose their authority from this moment on, and imperial power reigns supreme, who will hold them in check?"
