Transmigration: Picking Up a Foolish Husband Who Turns Out to Be a Regent

After becoming a farm girl, Chen Zhiwei beats down the local bullies and boldly splits from the family with her frail younger brother.

She plans to farm the land and raise her brother until they’re comfortable, but in the Great Yong Dynasty, anyone still unmarried at fourteen is forcibly matched by the authorities.

With a marriage to the village cripple looming, she heads into the mountains and brings back a blood-soaked fool to take her place.

Her foolish husband is obedient and strong, though his appetite is a little alarming. Chen Zhiwei rolls up her sleeves. “No problem. I have a space with a spiritual spring. I can afford to feed him!”

Just as their life begins to improve, the fool eats vegetables watered by the spiritual spring, and his eyes grow clearer by the day.

Then one day, a troop of black-armored cavalry storms into the village and drops to their knees before her foolish husband. “We pay our respects to the Prince Regent!”

The spatula falls from Chen Zhiwei’s hand with a clatter. The man pulls her into his arms and chuckles. “My dear, would you be willing to become my one and only princess consort? Not the kind who plays along with a fool.”
