The Salted-Fish Substitute Bride

Fang Ruoyi's older sister has a fiance she was betrothed to as a child.

Later, disaster strikes her fiance's family, and they are all exiled. The Fang family wastes no time in breaking off the engagement.

Who could have guessed that ten years later, the former fiance would become Su Ji, a powerful minister with influence over the entire court?

When he brings up their old engagement again, everyone in the Fang family panics. It's obvious he wants revenge for what happened ten years ago.

Her mother takes Fang Ruoyi's hand and says, "Your sister was spoiled growing up. She can't possibly marry into that family and suffer."

Her sister says nothing, only cries.

Coughing up blood, Fang Ruoyi nods. "All right, then. I'll marry him."

Fang Ruoyi isn't actually from this dynasty.

After dying from overwork at the hospital, she opened her eyes again and found herself reborn as the Fang family's second daughter.

She was born with an illness that, even with Fang Ruoyi's superb medical skills, would only let this body survive until the age of eighteen.

She doesn't have many days left, so she might as well do a good deed and earn some merit.

And so Fang Ruoyi happily marries him.

Who would have thought that not only would she survive the marriage, but under his care, she'd grow as strong and sturdy as a young calf!

Everyone thinks Su Ji is marrying a Fang daughter to get revenge.

Only Su Ji knows that before his entire family was exiled ten years ago, someone waited for him at the city gate and stuffed a big bundle of food and medicine into his arms.

The round-faced girl in his memory has grown up and become the wife now fast asleep in his arms on their wedding night.
