Lin Zhao, a modern female boxer, wakes up one day in the body of a county magistrate's frail, timid concubine-born daughter. All because someone said His Majesty felt sorry for the disabled war god general, who had no heir, an imperial decree marries her off to that drafty little courtyard.
From Shen Yan's perspective:
On their wedding night, Shen Yan falls off the bed and glares at her darkly, telling her to get out.
One month into their marriage, Shen Yan casually has Lin Zhao carry him to bed.
Two months in, Shen Yan starts frequently muttering before bed that he is a useless cripple with no heirs, staring straight at Lin Zhao as he says it.
Six months in, Shen Yan suddenly becomes frail and helpless, unable to manage daily life or go anywhere without someone by his side. Lin Zhao has her hands full looking after him.
One year in: Lin Zhao runs away in the middle of the night!
One year and one day in: The whole city is shocked when the crippled general gets back on his feet.
From Lin Zhao's perspective:
Wedding night: Lin Zhao scolds him, saying she only married him because he looked easy to bully.
One month in: Lin Zhao disciplines the unruly servants, puts the household in order, and settles into a leisurely life.
Two months in: Lin Zhao feels a little sorry for her husband, who has no interest in women, and plans to take a concubine for him.
Six months in: Lin Zhao enjoys sparring with the eldest son of the chancellor next door, while her husband's condition suddenly worsens.
One year in: Lin Zhao discovers he's a lecherous old fox.
Ten years in: The little fox at home charms the young lady of the chancellor's residence next door, and the general's household nearly gets confiscated.
