I Took My Frail Husband to Reclaim the Wasteland, and He Hands Over His Pay Every Day

[Period Setting + Miracle Healer + Farming + Strong Female Lead + Everyone’s Favorite + Playing Dumb to Outsmart Others]

Lin Wanqiu, the border defense production-team leader nicknamed the “Black Widow,” has lost three boyfriends on missions. Her reputation for bringing bad luck to herself and her husbands is well known.

To put an end to the rumors, she is forced to accept the organization’s arranged “wedding to ward off bad luck”: Gu Yan, a sickly man sent down from the capital who supposedly has less than six months to live.

Everyone waits to see her become a widow for the fourth time, and to watch this helpless medicine jar drag down the entire production team.

But who could have guessed that this breathless, frail man is a successor to the imperial physicians, gifted with the extraordinary ability to communicate with plants?

The soil has turned saline? He scatters a handful of seeds, and the soil is improved in three days.

A livestock epidemic breaks out? He brews a pot of herbal medicine, and it cures them all.

Year after year of severe drought, with no harvest at all? He studies the stars at night, sets foot on the land, and pinpoints three underground springs, astonishing the entire military region.

Lin Wanqiu watches her family’s barren saline fields transform into a lush, fragrant oasis in the desert, producing a thousand jin per mu. Meanwhile, the man who was supposed to live less than six months strides across the fields with a healthy glow.

Lin Wanqiu: “Care to explain your illness?”

Gu Yan leisurely withdraws his hand after delivering a calf and wipes away the sweat. “It used to be an illness of the heart. Now… I suppose it’s lovesickness. It flares up whenever I see you.”
