I Picked Up a Handsome Husband by the Roadside

Captain Qian, who worked in some kind of mysterious line of business, transmigrated in the most undignified way imaginable.

Well, she'd transmigrated. There was no need to panic. Stay calm.

Transmigrating to ancient times? Stay calm.

Captain Qian picked up a skirt, studied it, then put it on. She stuck out her backside, raised a delicate finger, and sashayed out.

The villagers stared in shock. Then they all went, “Bleurgh!” Look, that rascal's turned into a sissy!

So it was a matriarchal society. Stay calm.

Captain Qian rolled up her sleeves and went up the mountain to chop wood, then down to the river to fish. Instead, she caught a handsome man.

He had a knife wound in his stomach and sword wounds on his arms and legs, but he was definitely handsome.

The handsome man woke up. Captain Qian, who happened to need a husband, put on a heartfelt act. “A Sha, you fell in the river and hit your head. You can't remember anything from your past. I'm your wife.”

The handsome man extended a cold, impassive hand. Captain Qian hurriedly took it, heart aching. “A Sha, from now on, your wife will treat you well. I'll never make you do hard labor again. Look how rough your hands are, covered in calluses.”

That night, Captain Qian woke up desperate for the toilet. When she got up, she saw two men in black sprawled in the courtyard. One was missing half his neck, and the other had a gaping hole in his chest. Blood was everywhere.

Captain Qian, who had always made staying calm her life's goal, turned pale and rushed over... to check her new husband from head to toe. “Let me see, let me see. How could you be so careless? This is the only nice outfit we have. Don't get any filth on it.”

A chatty heroine vs. a male lead who loves chatty people. (P.S. If you're chatty, we don't recommend testing that out in front of the male lead. You might get something other than affection: a forty-two-meter broadsword.)

The above is all nonsense. Here's the serious version:

A mischievous heroine who can't help stirring things up vs. a cool, aloof, deadly handsome hero.

A real killer, the kind who once buried hundreds of thousands of prisoners alive.
