Don't Pick Up Strange Men by the Roadside

I've told you, don't go picking up strange men on the roadside!!

In these chaotic times, my overly kindhearted father drags a deserter home from the mountains.

Su Lan wants to scream: Dad! Picking up a cat or a dog would be one thing, but why bring home a living person? Do you want the two of us to starve to death even faster?!

We've sold everything we could and borrowed all we could. We finally dragged this unlucky fellow back from the gates of death, only to find out he's an idiot.

"What's your name?"

"I don't remember."

"Where's your home?"

"I don't remember."

"Fine. From now on, your name is Ergou."

"Okay."

After all that effort training Ergou into a capable man who can hunt in the mountains and cut grass in the fields to feed the pigs, he runs off without a word!!

Later, Ergou returns home in fine clothes, transformed into some kind of young general, and the son of the heir to the Duke of Zhenguo's title?

His military achievements earn him an imperial decree arranging a marriage.

Ergou! What were you thinking?!

You could have traded all those military achievements for something better!!!

Betrayed by a trusted subordinate, I nearly died on the battlefield. Luckily, I was blessed with good fortune and got picked up by my father-in-law.

I got a new identity and a wife for free!

Who cares about any of that? You picked me up, so now you have to marry me, all right?

Afraid my parents wouldn't agree to my marrying Sister Lan, I acted first and asked later, trading my military achievements to the emperor for an imperial marriage decree.

After marrying his beloved wife, Chu Ge feels just like a victorious general.

From then on, Chu Ge has only one goal:

Fight lots of battles and win lots of noble titles for his wife.

Then come back alive from the battlefield and enjoy the perfect life of a wife and kids at home!
