Xiao Houji couldn't figure out why he was reborn.
He is the Zhenbeihou known as the Dayong God of War, who defeated foreign enemies and recovered lost territory.
Everyone regards him as their protector.
But when there was nothing to fight, no one needed him anymore.
Faced with the king's suspicion, his broken body, and the memorial tablets filling the ancestral hall, Xiao Houji decided to die.
He sold his property, settled his old department, drank a glass of poisonous wine, and died - didn't he die?
When he opened his eyes, he went back to three days ago. The poisonous wine may have expired. Just when he was about to change it to a cup with stronger medicinal properties, the butler suddenly came to report:
"General, your second uncle's cousin's aunt's cousin has come to join you!"
——
The Meng family in the capital has a marriage contract with the Marquis Mansion in Zhenbei.
But according to legend, Zhenbeihou was cruel, bloodthirsty, and a cripple.
The legitimate daughter of the Meng family did not want to marry, so she took Meng Qingran back from the countryside and asked her to marry her instead.
As soon as Meng Qingran traveled through time, she received the script of a substitute marriage.
She originally wanted to refuse, but the system known as "Beloved Concubine Rescue" approached her and asked her to find her replacement, Xiao Houji.
System: 1. Give him a child and let him have a family,
2. Give him hope of living
Meng Qingran: Why would you want to have a child if you want to have a family? Wouldn't it be nice if I could be his family?
So she disguised herself as a woman and went to the capital to recognize her relatives.
As for the hope of living——
Suddenly there was a cousin, and Xiao Houji originally wanted to settle him down before going to die.
But on the first day, Meng Qingran said: Cousin, I used to kill pigs in the countryside, but now I want to go to the Imperial College to study.
Xiao Houji could only give up buying poisonous wine and find a way to enter the Imperial Academy.
A month later, Meng Qingran: Cousin, my classmates all laughed at me for not being able to ride a horse.
Xiao Houji could only give up his wheelchair, start exercising and teach her to ride a horse.
A year later, the housekeeper exclaimed: General, the second prince and the third prince had a fight in the Imperial College, and they all came to our house to propose marriage!
Only then did Xiao Houji realize that his cousin was actually his cousin, but the second prince was fatuous and the third prince was reckless, so they were not good matches.
He had no choice but to give up the plan of selecting a cemetery and began to select young talents from the capital for Meng Qingran.
But after many choices, in the end, he couldn't bear to hand her over to anyone...

Hou: waiting; Ji: spring when the wind and snow stop, the clouds bloom and the sun rises.
But the winter in Beijing is even colder than that in Saibei. Xiao Houji originally thought that he would not be able to wait for spring.
Until that day, Meng Qingran appeared in front of him holding a hunting knife: Cousin, your spring has come!
