When Su Yunxiu was six, her maternal uncle's family fell into ruin, her birth mother died young, and her father remarried. In a single night, she went from being the Marquis's third legitimate daughter to an unwanted jinx.
After an accident left her unconscious, her soul left her body, and she was forced to possess a man's body and live in it for half a month.
When she woke up, she found that the people in the Marquis's residence were treating her strangely. Even her own body didn't feel right.
Her second older sister, who had never once been kind to her, suddenly sent a maid to bring her medicine. When Su Yunxiu reached for it, she accidentally snapped the maid's finger.
Her cousin, who loved making fun of her, suddenly invited her to tea. But when she arrived, she found a man she didn't know. As she tried to excuse herself, she accidentally brushed against his leg, and it broke.
She went to a pawnshop to exchange something for money to buy medicine, only to run into a rich young wastrel looking for trouble. In her panic, she flailed her arms a few times, and he ended up battered and bruised, with a face like a pig's head.
Su Yunxiu: Boohoo, help!
The people from the Marquis's residence who had tried to frame Su Yunxiu but got taught a lesson instead: Don't come near us!
Xie Chang'an, the God of War of the Great Liang Dynasty, joined the army at thirteen and took command of the military at eighteen. In just three years, he completely annihilated the Rong army that had harassed the border for decades, driving them far away so they would never dare invade again.
The army returned in triumph, and the emperor held a banquet to welcome the soldiers home.
At the banquet, cups clinked and strings played sweetly as noblewomen in splendid clothes took turns dancing and performing onstage.
Xie Chang'an casually drank the drugged wine placed before him, feeling nothing but bored.
His gaze shifted, and he couldn't help being drawn to an incongruous little thing in one corner.
The third young lady of the Marquis's residence, whose body his soul had once possessed, sat alone in a corner, rubbing at her tears. Her shoulders hitched, and she looked terribly aggrieved.
Xie Chang'an had no intention of helping her. He simply watched with interest.
Then he watched her cry as she calmly dislocated the arm of the man beside her who had tried to get handsy...
Next, she wiped her tears and quietly hid in a corner, eating and stashing food. Every so often, she secretly slipped some to the little maid beside her, thinking no one had noticed.
The two of them looked like little mice hiding from view...
No, Xie Chang'an chuckled, remembering the nickname he'd learned by accident while possessing her: Bao Gu, or "Little Mushroom."
She really was like a short mushroom growing unnoticed in a corner, but capable of poisoning someone to death if they weren't careful.
Little scene:
After the banquet, he returned to his bedroom and found a little mushroom fast asleep on his bed.
Just as Xie Chang'an was about to wake her, a wave of dizziness hit, and the two of them switched bodies.
Soon, the drug took effect in his body.
Xie Chang'an watched his tall, broad-shouldered body curl up in a ball, face flushed, whimpering and fussing. It was so painful to look at, he thought his eyes were going to melt.
Xie Chang'an scolded coldly, "Be quiet. Hold back your tears."
Su Yunxiu, already out of it: "Boohoo."
Xie Chang'an: ...
After several failed attempts to scold her into stopping, Xie Chang'an had no choice but to soften his voice and gently soothe her.
Early the next morning, someone saw Su Yunxiu getting out of a carriage at the general's residence, carrying Xie Chang'an in her arms.
And, according to reliable sources, the entire general's residence heard their General Xie crying in the study that day, so mortified he wanted to die. It was a truly pitiful sight.
The people involved: Su Yunxiu on the outside, Xie Chang'an on the inside: ...
A ruthless, cold-faced king of hell × a timid little mushroom with a strange way of thinking and superhuman strength, who doesn't even realize how strong she is
