The Government Gave Me a Husband? A Borderland Woman's Wilds Become a Warrior's Paradise

[Transmigrate + wood powers + beast speech + land reclamation + contrasting couples + ancient military setting] A transmigrated military-household girl vs. the fallen heir of a marquis's house

Snow disasters have struck the borderlands of Great Ning year after year. War rages, provisions are scarce, and corpses litter the roads for miles.

Qiao Xia suddenly transmigrates into the body of an orphaned military-household girl whose family died in battle.

Just then, the court sends men to be assigned to military households. The sturdy men on the parade ground are snapped up by the military-household girls, leaving only Wei Heng, the gravely wounded and dying heir of a fallen marquis's house, in a prison cart.

She points at the cart. “I'll take him home to have babies.”

Everyone laughs and calls her foolish. Even Wei Heng says, “I won't live long enough to father a child. Just leave me behind.”

Qiao Xia calmly strips him and applies medicine to his wounds, then threatens him coldly. “If you dare to die, I'll hang you at the village entrance for everyone to gawk at.”

Wei Heng flushes with anger, only to hear her add, “You're not that good-looking anyway.”

He has never suffered such humiliation. Furious and mortified, he could die of shame, yet finds himself inexplicably drawn to her.

Qiao Xia's family is made up of the elderly, the disabled, the sick, and the weak. She works hard to reclaim farmland, get crops growing, and understand the language of beasts, making sure the whole family has enough to eat and wear.

Her cousin also gets a male prisoner, strong and sturdy, and boasts to everyone that her man is both a scholar and a warrior, making Qiao Xia's sickly husband look like nothing.

To make his wife proud, Wei Heng takes up arms after recovering from his injuries and wins great distinction, becoming the strongest son-in-law in the village.

When the weather turns cold, he even warms her bed and whispers in her ear, “Wife, let's have a child.”

Later, all of Great Ning knows that the once dashing young marquis returned to the capital from life as a prisoner and cleared his family's name, thanks to the newly appointed court official in charge of agriculture, a woman.
