[Pocket dimension + understands animal speech + sweet romance after marriage + contrasting rivals + transmigrated heroine vs. reborn heroine]
The moment Jiang Nian opens her eyes, she nearly ends up in bed with a man sporting an eight-pack.
That’s when she realizes she has transmigrated. The original owner’s cousin stole her scholar fiancé, drugged her, and sent her to the home of a lame military farmer.
Lu Tu has little time left to live. When he finds out the bride has been switched, he coldly rejects her in front of everyone. “I’m no good, and I don’t want to drag anyone else down. I’ll let you go.”
With that face and that powerful, muscular build, the man is absolutely gorgeous!
Jiang Nian takes one look at him and decides he’s the one. She coaxes and persuades him: “You’re not a burden! Your injuries are your medals. You’re a hero in my eyes. I can’t let a hero bleed and cry!”
After becoming disabled, Lu Tu has lost all hope.
Once he has a wife, his injuries heal, his appetite returns, and he fights with even greater ferocity on the battlefield.
The contract they made at the start becomes a thorn in his heart. Every night, he holds Jiang Nian close and coaxes her: “Wife, that divorce agreement from before doesn’t count. If you bring it out, I’ll kill myself!”
Jiang Nian: “Stop acting cute. I’m going to deal with those awful relatives who’ve done nothing but cause trouble!”
From then on, the formidable couple of Ningyuan Guard becomes famous.
At home, Lu Tu stands in front of Jiang Nian and protects her. When foreign enemies attack, he builds Ningyuan Guard’s main line of defense and sweeps the enemy forces aside.
Jiang Nian turns the frontier’s salt-alkali land into fertile soil, making sure the entire military village has meat to eat.
She turns the Liaodong tribute route into the largest and only thoroughfare for merchant caravans.
Lu Tu rises from a disabled, blood-coughing wounded soldier to a general who guards the nation. Everyone has heard of his bloodthirsty reputation as a god of slaughter, but they’re even more eager to meet the wife by his side who can turn stone into gold.
