The Husband I Picked Up Became Emperor

[Thanks to every little angel who supports reading the official version on Jinjiang]

Chu Hua, a young woman from Jiangnan, is a sweet, soft-spoken girl with a slight stutter.

She can see a line of text above other people's heads that tells her their identity and status.

Thanks to this ability, Chu Hua helps her mother's pharmacy thrive and wins the affection of the neighbors.

The tyrant's rule is brutal, rebellions are breaking out across the land, and warlords are carving up the realm.

In the midst of this chaos, Chu Hua finds an injured young man with four dazzling golden words above his head:

[Future Emperor]

She is so frightened that she drops to her knees, not daring to speak.

The young man raises an eyebrow and grins roguishly. "Coming with me?"

Chu Hua stammers, "I-I wouldn't dare..."

The young man's brows shift, and a wolfish glint flashes in his eyes. The trembling girl changes her answer: "I-I will."

Later, they fall for each other, and the words above the young man's head change too.

[Beloved]

Chu Hua looks at the words, her pretty face turning crimson with embarrassment.

On their wedding day, dressed in her bridal gown, she eagerly awaits the change above his head:

[Childhood Sweetheart Husband]

Chu Hua: !

Childhood... childhood sweetheart?

*

Huo Shizhou carries the injustice of the loyal Huo clan's slaughter on his shoulders, leading an army of rebels down the road to revenge.

In his previous life, the young general ruled over the Nine Provinces and ascended the throne alone.

But his whole life was consumed by hatred. By the time he finally turned back, the girl he'd loved since childhood was nowhere to be found.

In the end, the emperor became the loneliest prisoner in the world, sitting alone in his golden palace, with no one by his side.

When Huo Shizhou opened his eyes again, he was nineteen. He had returned to his hometown in Jiangnan to escape his pursuers.

Before him, his young childhood sweetheart was as gentle as ever, tenderly bandaging his wound.

Huo Shizhou's heart clenched. He gazed at her intently, suppressing the joy and aching longing surging in his chest.

This time, he would keep her safe beneath his wings, claim the most honored position in the realm, Empress, and place it in her hands.

[Delicate beauty x roguish, ruthless hound of a general]

A sweet, doting 1v1 happy ending. Both leads' first relationship, in this life and the last. The male lead is chaste and faithful.

Theme: Even mountains and seas cannot hold back a fierce love and unwavering devotion.
