Transported to My Husband's Youth

"He wasn't the winner in the history books, but she wanted him to win."

When later generations speak of Wei Xuan, they often call him a hero cut short by fate.

He was born in a time of chaos and dreamed of bringing peace to the realm. He was a brilliant tactician and knew how to choose and employ talented people, yet he fell on the eve of the decisive battle that would unify the land, at just twenty-two years old.

People often speculate that if he'd lived a few more years, he could have rewritten history and brought an end to the two centuries of turmoil in the Central Plains.

But history is history. We can only read it, not rewrite it.

When Yuan Zhaoning transmigrated here, she thought she was playing an immersive role-playing game.

But then she found herself in a world truly on the brink of collapse.

And she'd become a bride in a proxy marriage.

As for the groom, she heard his surname was Wei, and his name was Wei Xuan.

Yuan Zhaoning: ...

When there's a problem, don't panic. Play with your phone first to calm down.

...There's no signal!

The second time Yuan Zhaoning met Wei Xuan, they were both being transported as human meat, thrown into the same prison cart.

On a dark, windy night, she quietly picked the lock and slipped out, ready to help Wei Xuan escape. Then she heard him say, "Miss, I will never forget your great kindness."

The moment she heard his name, she shoved him back inside and locked the door behind him.

That was close.

A famous historical figure like Wei Xuan had a destiny already written. There must be a reason he was being transported as human meat. She couldn't interfere with history.

Wei Xuan, shoved back into the prison cart: ?

-

At first, I didn't want to get involved in this era.

But as you know, the more you go through, the harder it is to walk away.

Only then did I understand my heart: the calmer it seemed, the more turbulent it was. The clearer my mind, the more deeply I was moved.

[Bonus Scene]

Wei Xuan: I'm married, but my wife is a little strange. She's always afraid I'll die.

Oh, and she has a brick she never takes with her. She says it's been passed down in her family.

She won't even let me use it to prop up a table leg.
