[Infrastructural construction in the desert + business and farming + marriage first, love later, the iron abacus black shop proprietress VS the taciturn, ruthless and scarred warrior]
"Marry me? I have no money, no land, and my face can make children cry."
"It just so happens that I need a guy who doesn't pay and can run the show."
Ye Zhiqiu disguised himself as an official slave exiled in the desert, and picked Pei Zhaoye, the poorest and most ferocious border guard, to be his husband.
Others laughed at her for marrying an ugly evil star, but she spent her dowry and set up a wine flag next to the bandit's den: "Stay in the hotel for one tael, drink water is extra, and those who dare to cause trouble will have their bones buried for free!"
The desert is short of water? She used space to find water veins, dig culverts, and make melons grow on the deserted beaches.
Trade routes cut off? She raised camels, organized caravans, took in refugees, and expanded the leaky earthen house into the first border inn.
When evil merchants lowered prices, she burned the account books in public and redefined the business rules; when horse bandits robbed food, she smiled and closed the door to let her husband go.
When her abacus sounded, she got thousands of taels of gold; when he drew his sword, Baiqi fell silent.
During the day, one of them makes money and the other kills people, but at night they draw a line between them and who will sleep next to them.
When 300,000 enemy troops pressed into the territory and the city's dignitaries fled in panic, Ye Zhiqiu smashed open the granary: "Who dares to touch my city?"
In the wind and sand, Pei Zhaoye washed away the disguise on her face and put on the bright light armor she had made with her own hands.
The ugly pawn of the past turned out to be the God of War who had been missing for many years.
He stood in front of the city with his sword drawn, and turned around to ask: "Boss lady, how are we going to fight this battle?"
Ye Zhiqiu dialed the abacus: "If I win, the city belongs to me; you also belong to me."
