I Married a Hunter in a Year of Famine and Used a Spirit Spring to Feed an Entire City

Reborn into a life of flight from famine, her sister eagerly chooses to marry the hypocrite who killed Shen Qinghe in her past life.

She laughs scornfully. "You can keep the fate of a widow. I'm going to become a noblewoman with an official title!"

Shen Qinghe smiles faintly and chooses the mountain hunter her sister rejected.

Everyone laughs at her for courting death, not knowing that she has a spiritual spring.

On the flight from famine, she saves a woman suffering from heatstroke, and the spring grows. She saves a child with a high fever, and it grows again. As she saves more and more people, the spring gushes forth into a small lake.

A great famine descends, refugees fill the land, and the people survive by eating tree bark.

Shen Qinghe uses the spring to nourish the soil. Wild vegetables grow like crazy, and wild fruit hangs from every branch.

Her hunter husband takes blows meant for her and risks his life, putting down roots in the barren mountains. He clears and tills the fields, raises pigs and chickens, fires kilns to extract salt, and plants cold-resistant crops everywhere, turning the desolate mountains into a self-sufficient paradise.

Her down-and-out sister and her family are freezing and starving. They kneel at the door and beg, disbelief in their eyes. "In our past life, it wasn't supposed to be like this!"

Shen Qinghe smiles coldly. "My spiritual spring saves people, not beasts."

The hunter stands behind her with a knife in hand, his voice steady. "As my wife wishes."

The hunter joins the army and earns a noble title, then sets out to conquer the Central Plains. His eyes gleam as he looks at her. "My lady, I've protected our paradise. How about I conquer an empire for you next?"

Shen Qinghe: Conquer an empire, then! But could you take your hand off my waist first? This isn't the battlefield, is it?
