The All-Purpose Strategist: My Wife's Secret Identity Is Still Hidden

Xiao Yan, a brilliant strategist from a once-prominent family now fallen on hard times, marries into the merchant Su family to escape danger and uncover the truth behind his family’s downfall. He marries Feng Qiwuw, the Su family’s legitimate daughter, who is rumored to be frail and sickly and rarely seen in public. Xiao Yan hopes to live a quiet life while making plans in secret, but soon discovers that his “frail” wife is far more than she seems. Not only is she a master of hidden arts, she is also the mysterious owner of the city’s largest embroidery house, Yunshang Workshop, the leader of the underworld’s foremost intelligence network, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and even… the long-missing queen of a neighboring kingdom, who commands a mighty army.

Xiao Yan carefully plots his course through the court, clearing obstacles for himself and his wife at every turn. Yet he repeatedly finds that a “mysterious force” steps in at just the right moment to help with the schemes he has so painstakingly laid, making them twice as effective. Feng Qiwuw, meanwhile, is stunned to discover that her seemingly bookish, refined husband, who married into her family, is actually the mysterious mastermind “Baize,” feared by every faction and capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of his fingers.

The couple each keeps their secret identity hidden. Through one test, misunderstanding, and alliance after another, their relationship grows from a marriage of convenience into mutual admiration, and finally into deep love. When all their secret identities are revealed and chaos engulfs the land, they realize that each is the other’s strongest trump card and most reliable support. In the end, they join forces to thwart the conspiracies threatening the realm and build an unprecedented age of prosperity.
