Synopsis

Other women find husbands with fine horses and red silk, in grand style.

But when it’s Ruan Xiaoxiao’s turn, she brings home a crippled, disgraced general from the market, with nothing but a leaky little handcart to carry him in.

Shen Shu: Once a battlefield hero who could defeat ten thousand men, now stuck in a handcart being dragged around. This is ridiculous.

The neighbors all disapprove, saying she’s picked up a burden and will suffer for it sooner or later.

No one knows that the man is afflicted with a deadly chill poison and has both legs shattered, all because of a shocking frame-up carefully orchestrated by the current prime minister.

With a miracle doctor’s help, his poison is cured and his legs heal. His peerless martial arts return in full, and after secretly plotting his revenge, he heads to the capital alone and turns the court upside down, personally avenging his terrible blood feud.

After his revenge is complete and the wrongful case is overturned, the emperor offers him command of the northern frontier forces once more. But he resigns on the spot and races back to the little courtyard in Yunxi.

The once fearsome God of War now sticks to the little embroiderer, taking care of her stall, dealing with troublesome neighbors, and handling every chore at home. His heart and eyes are set only on the girl who brought him home.

A sunny, down-to-earth embroiderer × a fallen war god bent on revenge. A lighthearted, funny, sweet story of mutual healing, with no angst!

In a Terrible Reading Slump: I Drop 9.8-Rated Books After Ten Chapters and 9.7-Rated Ones After Five

I'm so out of books to read, but I'm incredibly picky. For "Ten Thousand People Are Browsing", I made it only thirty chapters before dropping it. I used to read "Dragon King" past chapter 400, but now I dropped "Slay the Gods" after just twenty chapters.

I Have Run Out of Books, Please Recommend Some

Any kind of book is fine, as long as it is good. I especially want fantasy, apocalypse, or infinite-flow stories. Please, no womanizers, domineering live-in husbands, useless protagonists, face-slapping, pretending to be weak while secretly being strong, protagonists who lose the ability to walk when they see a woman, excessive comedy, or protagonists who look like rough, carefree gangsters.
