"A jealous, clingy, cold-on-the-outside-black-on-the-inside water-sign man × a straightforward, protective, slow-to-warm-up fire-sign woman"
After the Marquis of Dingbei, Pei Du, is stripped of his title and exiled to Lingnan for embezzling military funds and colluding with foreign enemies, his whole family is punished, from the elderly to the women and children. After brutal torture, the tendons in Pei Du's hands and legs are severed, and there isn't a single patch of uninjured skin on his body.
Pei Du is reborn on the day of his wedding, before his exile. Utterly despairing, he thinks fate is playing a cruel joke on him.
Then he discovers that his wife in this life is someone else entirely.
Exiled to Lingnan? To hell with that. Who says they have to follow all those rules?
They flee for their lives, farm, open a shop, make a fortune, and force their way into the palace, planning every step carefully.
This rotten dynasty is due for a change.
In the fifteenth year of Jingyou, a new emperor takes the throne.
The Emperor: “Pei Du! I can't rule this empire without you!”
Pei Du: “No. My wife says that after the war, I have to go home and help her farm.”
The Emperor: “Then I'll reward you with beautiful women!”
Pei Du: “No. My wife says she'll break my legs if I take a concubine.”
The Emperor: “Is everything your wife says?”
Pei Du: “My wife says I have to listen to her.”
