A Substitute Bride During a Confiscation? I Empty the Imperial Treasury to Spoil the Disabled War Hero

Modern-day powerhouse Jiang Ning transmigrates into the young mistress of the Duke’s household, forced to marry in someone else’s place. Her wedding night isn’t even over when the imperial decree ordering the confiscation of the family’s property and their exile arrives!

Seeing that the loyal members of the household have all died in battle, leaving only a city full of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people, along with her husband, a legendary general whose legs have been crippled, Jiang Ning flies into a rage.

You want to exile us? Fine! I’ll take your national treasury with me!

Using her infinite space, Jiang Ning clears out the fortunes of all the capital’s powerful families in a single night. She uses her enemies’ money and provisions to support her own husband’s family!

They’re exiled three thousand li, facing one disaster after another. Jiang Ning shows off her prowess all along the way: fighting the guards, killing bandits, treating her mother-in-law, and protecting her widowed sister-in-law.

When they reach the barren northwest, Jiang Ning grows spirit herbs, reclaims farmland, tames ferocious beasts, and trains an elite army, turning the wasteland into an independent kingdom as secure as an iron fortress.

The Great Yan court is running out of food and pay and is on the verge of collapse. The tyrant emperor tearfully begs the God of War to return.

General Yan, whose legs have long since healed and who has reclaimed the height of his martial prowess, only sneers before turning to his beloved wife. “Your Majesty, don’t worry. I’ll go ask my wife if she’s willing to spare you some provisions.”

Jiang Ning: “Not a chance. Get lost!”

Farming and infrastructure building + a powerful couple who dote on each other + every character is a villain + no infighting among awful relatives. See how a post-apocalyptic powerhouse recruits troops and stockpiles grain like crazy in ancient times!
