My Husband Suffers from a Hidden Affliction

Tao Ruan is a decorated general of the new era, battle-tested and with just one hobby: watching melodramatic novels and TV dramas.

After more than ten years at war, Tao Ruan retires in glory, ready to enjoy a leisurely life and peacefully reach old age. Then she transmigrates.

She ends up as a would-be widow who can't lift a finger, carry a thing, or do anything but whimper.

Tao Ruan: Who sealed away my ability to wield a forty-meter saber? :)

It's no big deal that she's weak. What she didn't expect was that the husband who appeared out of nowhere would be even frailer than her.

Sickly Liu Qing: I'm weak constitutionally.

Tao Ruan gets it: You're impotent.

Liu Qing: ...

Tao Ruan clenches her fist: Got it. Don't worry, I'll keep it to myself.

At the Liu residence:

The tearful new bride Tao Ruan sobs until she's a picture of heartbroken beauty: Everyone's so mean to me. It's not fair.

In the military camp:

Delicate, dewy Tao Ruan grips a saber weighing a thousand jin: Next! Who's up?

- Though I'm delicate and soft, I've mastered the art of whimpering and know all the tricks.

- Don't let my frail appearance fool you. My abs are tougher than yours.

- Don't mess with me. You're way out of your league.

New skill unlocked, lifetime achievement earned √

A few things to know before reading:

1. The heroine's combat ability is MAX. She's a whimpering monster who can take and dish out a beating.

2. The tags were changed by the editor. The actual story is not about commoner life.

3. It's a fictional setting with no historical accuracy. Don't nitpick the logic; just enjoy the fun.

The Shi family has a daughter, spoiled rotten and the town's biggest bully.

The Gu family has a son, sickly and coughing every few steps.

Then, one day...

The eldest Shi daughter changes her ways: gentle and virtuous, she never leaves the house.

The Gu family's sixth young master is transformed: arrogant, conceited, and sharp-tongued.

Shi Ya clutches her chest, coughing up a storm: I refuse to lose. :)

Gu Ze, brimming with vitality and reborn: Being a woman is great. :D

-

Gu Ze had long heard that a woman's monthly cycle was agony.

He braced himself for it. Then those days came and went without him noticing a thing.

Gu Ze: ?

Weren't they supposed to be so painful you thought you were dying?

Gu Ze: I don't want to be a man anymore. :)

Shi Ya: ?

*They switch bodies.

Theme: Stand up for the weak, protect the vulnerable, and never back down in the face of evil.
