The Eldest Daughter Marries a Hunter

What did the fall of the Fu clan have to do with her? As a child, she followed her father into the Fu family when he married into it. Her mother favored her legitimate elder sister, and her grandmother doted on her elder brother. She lived cautiously in the Fu household, publicly doing the poetry, calligraphy, painting, and music homework for her lazy, useless sister so she could earn a good reputation, while secretly using the craft passed down through her family to open a distillery and build up her own fortune. One day, disaster struck the family, and she died a tragic death. When she woke, she found she had transmigrated into the body of the eldest daughter of a farming family. In a poor rural household, she used her family's traditional brewing skills to improve their livelihood, helped her younger brother prepare for the imperial examinations, and taught her younger sister to stand on her own and stay away from scoundrels. Through a twist of fate, she returned to Quejing, raising the Song family from humble origins into the ranks of the gentry. The one thing outside her plans was marrying a hunter with nothing to his name. That day, she boldly stopped him beside a stream. “Since I saved your life, do me a favor.” The man was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. “Let's hear it.” She said, “Before that, answer two questions.” “Do you already have a wife?” “No.” “Then is there someone you love?” “No, either,” he answered readily. “Marry me.” “...All right.” He said, “We'll agree on six months. When the time is up, we'll divorce and go our separate ways. Neither of us will interfere in the other's affairs.” Six months later She held out her hand to him. “We agreed on six months. Now that the time is up, please give me the divorce papers so we can go our separate ways.” Xiao Linzhou stared at her, his voice carrying a trace of coldness. “What if I refuse?” A certain adviser beside them eagerly volunteered, “I can write them for you.” Xiao Linzhou: “...Get lost!” He yanked her fiercely into his arms, his grip domineering, leaving her no room to pull away. “So you use me and then throw me away just like that?!” Yun Heng was at a loss for words. But I... haven't even used you yet. Tips: The heroine seems to be the eldest daughter of a farming family, but she's actually the heiress of the immensely wealthy Xie family of Jiangling.

He holds a high position and bears the weight of the nation on his shoulders, navigating court politics with careful calculation. He's devoted and faithful, and dotes on the heroine alone.

Long, long ago... she gave it to someone else. The first time they met. She crouched on the ground and studied him for ages. “Are you a snake?” Snake: ...Silence. She sneered. “Don't get your hopes up. I'm not going to save you!” She continued, “I've heard the story of the farmer and the snake. You snakes are all ungrateful, devious, and vicious.” The snake thought to himself: Stupid woman, I'm a dragon! Probably, anyway? He wasn't sure what the laws of Heaven had turned him into. The second time they met. She asked in confusion, “Who are you?” He said, “Remember that tortoise by your side?” She was startled. “You're that little tortoise?” He answered calmly, “No, I'm its owner.” She waved at a certain Xiao Ba. “Xiao Ba, come here. Your dad's here.” “...” The man's face darkened. The third time they met. He took the full force of the Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation for her. “This time, I can protect you!” Theme: She gathers wealth and provisions, while he recruits troops and builds an army.
