Fake Couple Farming: I Bought a Wife, and She Turned My World Upside Down

Two heroines, both devoted and powerful, joining forces to survive a chaotic age, build a home, and raise a child

The most humiliating day of Baili Muxue’s life was the day she was put up for auction on the street like a piece of merchandise.

A frail, disfigured woman with a four-year-old child in tow: everyone thought she was bad luck.

Just as she was about to be sold to a local thug for ten coins, a huntress stepped out of the crowd and tossed down a silver tael. “I’ll take her.”

Baili Muxue thought she had escaped one desperate situation, only to learn later that the huntress saw everyone as prey.

Xiao Jingli saw through her clumsy disguise at a glance, but didn’t expose her. She had secrets of her own.

In a lawless age, a woman posing as a man was better off avoiding trouble.

But things got interesting the moment Baili Muxue crept into her room in the middle of the night and held a dagger to her throat.

“Who are you, really?” Baili Muxue asked.

“And who are you?”

Two women harboring world-shaking secrets form a makeshift family in a border village.

One farms and hunts, while the other grows medicinal herbs and keeps house. One teaches the child to read, while the other teaches the child to defend themself.

The longer they pretend to be a married couple, the more likely it is that their make-believe will become real.

But in a time of chaos, no one can remain untouched. As the imperial pursuers draw closer and their hidden identities are about to be exposed, they realize the only way to survive side by side is to tear this rotten world apart with their own hands.

From the land of exile to the imperial palace, they use blood and fire to show everyone that women can rule this realm just as well.

“What should Xiao Ji call you?” Baili Muxue asked.

Xiao Jingli said, “Call me... Mom.”

“Then what about me?”

She looked at the woman before her and smiled. “You too.”
