[Historical romance + frontier town + marriage before love + devoted husband + revenge]
“An girl, there’s a man lying at your door. A man delivered right to your doorstep!”
The moment before, Xu Jin’an was exercising for a competition. The next, she had become an orphan in a small border village in the Great Yong Dynasty.
Xu Jin’an is as beautiful as a flower and as strong as an ox. She can kill a wolf with her bare hands and carry a wild boar on her shoulders.
The headman of Paddy Field Village looks at Xu Jin’an, born with superhuman strength, and longs to retire. But the girl refuses to get married, and it’s giving him a headache.
Just then, the court sends a batch of exiled criminals to the village.
One of them escapes and collapses at Xu Jin’an’s door. Handsome enough to be an immortal banished from heaven and with no family backing him, he’s the perfect man to marry into her family.
Xu Jin’an asks for appearances’ sake, “Hey, will you marry into my family? The kind where I keep you safe!”
The exiled criminal, Shen Yi, says, “I…”
The moment the man opens his mouth, Xu Jin’an drags him inside.
Well, that’s a yes!
On their wedding day, they consummate the marriage. But the very next day, Xu Jin’an has to lean against the wall to stand.
Wait, what?
Wasn’t he supposed to be weak and frail? Who was that man in bed last night?
…
Shen Yi never expected to find himself a wife while on the brink of death.
His wife is incredibly strong and breathtakingly beautiful.
She is a ray of light in the darkest chapter of his life, and the place where his soul belongs.
The court decrees that exiles and their descendants for three generations may neither sit the imperial examinations nor enter the capital.
He thought the road to revenge would be impossibly hard.
He never expected his wife to start a rebellion!!!

If the female lead wants to rebel herself, the author could try developing the story in an imperial direction. Also, the female lead should absolutely not be too soft-hearted or compassionate towards men. I personally think it's pretty good and quite enjoyable; I'll give it a thumbs up! 👍
This seems to be grooming her to be an empress. The initial synopsis didn't mention it, but the female lead is beautiful, cool, lazy, and powerful, while the male lead is a cunning, weak, and handsome pretty boy. This combination is quite good. The plot should reach the point where she fights bandits, recruits an army, rebels, declares herself queen, goes back to be empress 🥰, and then has ten or eight children. Updates are too slow, so I can only imagine it.
The female lead is pretty amazing! She won't be bullied, she's got a sharp tongue, strong hands, and guts—it's a satisfying read! But I felt like there was so little interaction between the male and female leads, not even any kissing. And it felt like the supporting characters' screen time was split 50/50 with the main characters' (óò｡).
The male lead assists the female lead in becoming king or empress; this kind of strong female lead is so satisfying! [Full of joy]
This is the most unique story I've ever read. While there are some sordid moments, they're not numerous. What I found even funnier was that the villain was quite endearing; the villains killed each other without the male and female leads even getting involved 🤦. However, I was a little disappointed with the ending, which felt rushed. Couldn't they have written some more scenes for the male and female leads later on? There weren't many chapters featuring romance.
It's good, the content is original, it's okay, but it's still being serialized. 🙂
It's good. There's a different female lead, a different environment, and different skills. The plot is smooth, the main storyline is clear, and it's an interesting story that's worth continuing.
Absolutely amazing
The female lead is decisive and ruthless, a real wolf in sheep's clothing. The whole story is fast-paced and doesn't drag. You can read it in one go. It's great!
I don't usually read time-travel novels, but this one is an exception—it's super good!
