After Switching Bodies with My Debauched Husband

Five years later, Lin Jinglan returns to the capital from the border for the first time. First, to recover from her injuries. Second, to break off her engagement. Her fiancé is Zhou Min, the young heir of the Duke of Wen's residence and the capital's most notorious wastrel. They say Zhou Min is arrogant and doesn't think much of Lin Jinglan, who's spent years roughing it on the border. So Lin Jinglan plans to settle things once and for all during this trip to the capital and end their engagement, which neither of them wants. But before Lin Jinglan can reach the capital, an unexpected mishap causes her and Zhou Min to switch bodies, and they keep switching back and forth at random. Every time they switch, the idle young heir Zhou goes on a spree around the capital in Lin Jinglan's body. One day he's betting on horses, the next he's watching cockfights. Sometimes he even sets up by the market gate to play the erhu, tugging at Lin Jinglan's sleeve and begging her to spare him some food money. In the spirit of returning the favor, Lin Jinglan draws up a tailor-made six-arts cram course for the good-for-nothing Zhou Min. Every time they switch back, Zhou Min's schedule is packed to the brim. After eighteen years of doing nothing, the young heir is forced to become accomplished in both the literary and martial arts. Later, the date Lin Jinglan planned to leave the capital draws near, but the two still haven't switched back. Zhou Min takes Lin Jinglan's place and goes to the palace to meet the emperor. When the emperor brings up their marriage, Lin Jinglan recalls what she has put Zhou Min through and confidently assumes he'll be eager to cut ties with her. Who could have guessed that Zhou Min would smile, use her face to put on an expression of deep devotion, and brazenly declare that he would marry no one but her, insisting they wed as soon as possible! You could say they both came out worse for wear. For a long time, Lin Jinglan believed that she and Zhou Min had married because of a twist of fate, with no other choice. Then one day, a slip of paper fell out of a storybook Zhou Min had kept hidden away. The paper was old and the handwriting blurred, but she could just make out a few lines: "My general rides into battle and guards the border, her fearless heart protecting all the people of this land. But I, Zhou Min, have been useless since childhood. In this life, I only want to protect her." [What seems like simply going along with fate may actually be someone's long-planned devotion.] [Blurb captured on 2022.3.10] Theme: When you brave the storms, someone will cross them to embrace you.
