[Farming] [Medicine] [Face-Slapping and Punishing Scumbags] [Building Wealth] [Sisters as Foils] [Heroine Transmigrates into a Book, Supporting Female Character Is Reborn]
Qiao Nuoning transmigrates into a book as a convicted woman exiled to the borderlands, and from the start is forcibly assigned to marry into a military household.
Her reborn cousin, Qiao Nuoxue, would rather become a concubine than marry no one. She chooses Lieutenant Lu, who is about to be promoted to deputy general, convinced she can turn her life around through him.
Qiao Nuoning refuses to follow convention too, choosing Pei Yi, a sickly young man with a short life expectancy who lives with his lame grandmother.
Everyone mocks her for choosing a husband who'll leave her a widow. Qiao Nuoxue waits to laugh at her too. But who could have guessed that Qiao Nuoning would cure Pei Yi and raise him into a scholar and warrior who takes first place in the imperial examinations?
When Qiao Nuoning tells him, "I'm your wife. I'll take care of everything and earn money to support you," Pei Yi wants to lay his whole heart at her feet. He willingly becomes her blade, her sharpest weapon, and obeys her every command.
No money or food at home? She gathers herbs, hunts, and does business, dazzling the whole city.
Troublesome relatives causing trouble? No problem. If they won't go down with one beating, she'll beat them until they do, then split from the family and make it on her own.
Officials and wealthy merchants oppress her? Then she'll climb higher than them and keep them under her foot forever!
While her cousin is busy with household intrigue at the Lu family estate, Qiao Nuoning has already turned the miasma-ridden southern rainforest into a treasure trove of resources.
And her once-frail husband, who was on the verge of dying from illness, turns out to be a prince of an enemy kingdom, now supporting her rebellion!
