[Reborn + Strong Heroine + Secret Identities + Hilarious Subversion of Expectations + A Male Lead Who Reads Too Much Into Things]
In her previous life, Fan Changyu was dumped by her scumbag fiancé. She watched helplessly as enemy forces breached the city and the man who protected its people was pierced by a rain of arrows.
Reborn at the scene of the broken engagement, she kicks her scumbag fiancé flying and awakens the [Fate of the Breaker] and [Instinct for Spotting Fake Virtue]! Then she finds a breathtakingly beautiful invalid on the verge of death in the snow and spends two taels of silver to force him to sign a marriage contract as her live-in husband.
On their wedding night, the invalid conceals a dagger, his eyes full of murderous intent. “Dare to insult me, and tonight will be your last!”
The next moment, Fan Changyu dislocates his arm with one hand and pins the mighty Great Yong War God firmly beneath her. She chuckles. “My lord, your martial arts have gotten rusty. Remember to get up early and chop firewood tomorrow.”
Xie Zheng's worldview shatters, and he is forced into the humiliating life of a live-in husband, chopping wood and keeping accounts.
Then one day, Fan Changyu spends her entire fortune on a century-old ginseng root to save him, and single-handedly carves a path through thousands of enemy troops.
Watching her blood-soaked figure, Xie Zheng's imagination runs wild: “She spent everything she had and risked her life for me! This woman loves me so much she’s gone completely mad!”
Fan Changyu wipes off the blood and pulls out her ledger. “Xie Goudan, the ginseng cost three hundred taels. You owe me fifty years of hard labor. Just try dying on me!”
Later, the Empress Dowager arranges a marriage for her. Fan Changyu storms into the throne hall, carrying a hundred-jin black blade and the enemy marshal’s banner.
“I’ll trade these immense military achievements for my husband, Xie Goudan! Anyone who dares steal my live-in husband will have their entire clan exterminated!”
Not bad, I like it
