I Became a Strongwoman, and the Husband I Picked Up Is a Big Shot

[Farming + transmigration + martial arts and medicine + family life + building a fortune + flight from famine + devoted, sweet romance]

Sweet country girl vs. tragic, handsome male lead

In her previous life, Lin Qingqing was an orphan. Through hard work, she had finally become a company executive and bought a spacious apartment, only to get caught in a rip current while vacationing at the beach.

After transmigrating to the Great Zhou dynasty, she learned that the original owner had jumped into a river after being jilted by a scholar. Her father had run off with a widow, who was pregnant with his illegitimate child, leaving her to face the worst of the family alongside her crybaby mother.

Just as they finally split from the family and began living on their own, with life getting better by the day, natural disasters and war forced them to flee. Along the way, they found a handsome man. Lin Qingqing had only meant for him to serve as her bodyguard, never expecting him to develop feelings for her.

Lin Qingqing: “We've reached a safe place. You don't have to follow me anymore. Um… you take your road, and I'll take mine.”

Pei Ciyuan: “Qingqing, you picked me up, so you have to take responsibility for me. You know that if I go back to the Pei family, they might… try to assassinate me again.”

As soon as Pei Ciyuan finished speaking, he collapsed into Qingqing's arms.

Lin Qingqing regretted bringing home such a clingy man.

And yet this man was so frail he couldn't even look after himself.

Liu Mei'e: “Daughter, why not let him marry into our family? The Peis don't care for him anyway.”

Only after their wedding did Lin Qingqing discover that her husband was a hidden powerhouse. He had not only married into her family with a dowry rich enough to rival a nation, but also had imperial backing and power.
