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

Feng Shu felt very conflicted too. Her younger sister lied to her for the sake of Xie Xun, and it wasn't the first time she'd tried to deceive her so skillfully.


"You have no official ties nor familial connection with Xie Xun. Do not act too intimately, lest you attract rumors." Feng Shu didn't actually care about others gossiping about her and Xie Zhang.


Firstly, she had an engagement with Xie Zhang, and secondly, neither of them minded it at all.


But she minded others talking about Fengyu. She thought her sister was the most obedient and best sister in the world and hoped others would feel the same and love her.


"Got it." Fengyu secretly cursed the little marquis, then cuddled up to Feng Shu, acting coy. "If he dares to act presumptuously next time, I'll hit him."


Feng Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, why is there a next time?
