An Zhixiao

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!

Rejected Beauty Practices the Villain Play

"Young Marquis, are you pretending just to avoid repaying your debt?" Fengyu's voice scattered in the wind, ethereal and elusive, as if seeking an excuse for someone.


"A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; if one keeps guessing, they'll only find misfortune." Fengyu suppressed the budding emotions deep within her. "I prefer things that are visible and tangible."


Heavily injured and already weary, Fengyu fell into a strange sleep holding a soft pillow as soon as the curtains were lifted and the warm sunlight streamed in. Xie Xun slowed down the carriage's pace again. Due to the pain from her many injuries, Fengyu hugged the pillow in an odd posture. Xie Xun attempted to pull the pillow away so she could rest more comfortably, but finding that she held it tightly, he gave up.
