[Marriage First, Love Later] [Marriage to Bring Good Fortune] [Frontier] [Rugged Hero] [Everyday Life] [Building Wealth] [Taking Down Scumbags] [Slow-Paced] [Period Drama and Folk Life]
A modern-day funeral director wakes up in the body of a meek legitimate daughter. Her wicked stepmother sells her to a military household as a bride to bring good fortune, and everyone waits for her to cry her heart out.
Who would have guessed the bride, her head covered in blood, would lift her veil and ask for a doctor first, then demand money... Everything in sight belongs to her.
Wounded and lying on the heated brick bed, Wu Lie watches her fake-cry while hiding silver in her bodice and thinks drowsily: I have to survive and buy this woman some malt candy.
Later, his little bride, married to bring him good fortune, thrives in the frontier marketplace, and the entire Wu family is almost ready to change its surname to Su.
Wu Lie, a warrior who has fought his way to the top of the army, stands at the bedroom door. With his powerful frame, long arms, and lean waist, he has no chance to put his skills to use. All he can do is watch his little bride gleefully take down scumbags. Half the ruffians in Qian'an County bend their backs when they see her.
Wu Lie stays silent for a long while, then grits out, "What... else do you need?"
Su Ying props her chin on her hand. "A hired thug to help me kill people."
Wu Lie: "...Oh. Who are we killing?"
"You, the one who warms my feet. Do you need anything?"
The toughest man on the frontier is completely tamed by the young wife who married him to bring good fortune.
