The Runaway Substitute Bride and the Iron-Blooded General's Thousand-Mile Pursuit

“Heave-ho, men! Oh, heave! Heave-ho, hey! Heave, heave, heave!”

The people shouted as they tamped down the earth, working up a storm alongside a runaway bride turned county magistrate in a poor little county where even the birds couldn't find anything to eat.

Tang Ling'er was set to marry a ruthless general known as the Cold-Blooded Butcher. On her wedding night, she fled in disguise as a man. By a twist of fate, she ended up impersonating someone else and becoming the county magistrate. The county office was full of danger. Who was trying to kill her?

“Would you look at that? She dumped her husband and became a female county magistrate!”

“Oh, crap! I finally made it a thousand miles away after running from that marriage, and now he's come after me!”

When the emperor discovered that Damo County had a female magistrate, he accused her of throwing the court into chaos, confiscated her property, and sent her into exile, setting her on the path to turning her fortunes around while fleeing famine.

“Adversity makes the strong, and hardship reveals one's abilities. I've known sorrow and enjoyed happiness. I can be kind, but I can also be ruthless. When water reaches its end, a beautiful view appears; when a person reaches the end of their road, they are reborn.”

I am Tang Ling'er, the heroine of this book.
