Preorder: My Husband and I Stock Up Before Our Arrest and Exile. Please add it to your library.
Preorder blurb:
Qin Wu died and drifted into the underworld in a daze. At the Bridge of Helplessness, she met a lovesick ghost who, through sheer bad luck, got her reincarnated before she could drink Granny Meng's soup.
Her next life was a complete mess. She somehow skipped childhood and was reborn straight into someone else's wife, with a husband who was utterly unreliable.
On the day the entire capital was placed under lockdown, the unreliable man dragged her to a storeroom, pointed at its mountains of gold and silver, bolts of cloth and silk, and waved his hand. "Wife, take it all."
Qin Wu stared at him in shock. "How the hell do you know I have a golden finger?"
He grumbled to himself that he'd known in his previous life, but put on a look of feigned surprise and touched her forehead. "Are you all right, my dear? Such a huge secret, of course you told your husband yourself!"
Qin Wu, who had none of the original owner's memories, was just as confused. She let the unreliable man drag her around the Duke's estate, emptying the storeroom, then the granary, the study, and the kitchen. He was so shameless that he even took the private stash his own father had hidden away in a corner of his study for years! At the end, he clapped his hands and actually set their own estate on fire, claiming he was helping her clean up after her scorched-earth looting.
That wasn't all. In the middle of the night, he took her out to roam the locked-down capital. When they came across an old couple trembling in each other's arms beneath their covers, he tossed them a stack of banknotes and emptied the storeroom of their medical clinic.
Watching her space fill up, Qin Wu was... utterly speechless!
Xie Zhen grinned roguishly. To avoid ending up lonely and alone like he had in his previous life, he had decided unilaterally that anyone who dared stop him from spoiling his wife would wish they were dead!
Main story blurb:
After transmigrating into an unfamiliar dynasty, Yu Hui finds herself an orphaned burden whom everyone despises, in a duke's household about to be raided and exiled. From the moment she arrives, she's plunged straight into hell.
Relying on her wood-type golden finger and the space handed to her by fate, Yu Hui secretly hides silver, secures a household registration, stockpiles supplies, leaves the ducal estate, and buys gear before the raid. With her aunt on one arm and her little cousin in the other, she brings along her pets and heads into exile with a space packed full of supplies.
On the road to exile, others weep for their parents, while Yu Hui has endless meat, eggs, vegetables, and grain thanks to her golden finger.
At the far northern border, one awful person after another rushes toward the battlefield and certain death, while Yu Hui lounges in a rocking chair, bubble tea in one hand and spicy shrimp in the other.
Years later, she watches all kinds of people arrive at her door with lavish gifts, having heard of her medical skills and come seeking treatment. Yu Hui sighs.
I'm just a cook whose medical skills got in the way, for heaven's sake!
The heroine's story:
Yu Fanfan, a hapless agricultural science nerd, transmigrates and immediately encounters the legendary scene: her family is arrested, she is thrown into prison, and then sent into exile.
Luckily, as Heaven's favorite daughter, the abandoned wife Yu Fanfan sells off her property, packs her belongings, and protects her child all the way to the frontier.
The road to exile is long. While others cry for their parents, Yu Fanfan and her child eat well, dress warmly, sleep soundly, deal with awful people, and work hard to settle down. She clears wild hillsides, toils in the fields, and goes all in on scientific farming and construction.
The people's story:
On the day Yu Fanfan left the southwest, the people presented her with a ten-thousand-person umbrella and clung to her sleeves, weeping as they saw her off. "Lady Yu, you must be a bodhisattva reborn! Without you, Miaojiang would never be like this today, with salt, meat, and eggs to eat as much as we like, medicinal herbs bringing in good money, barren hills turned into terraced fields, and delicious food everywhere."
On the day Yu Fanfan left the northwest, tens of thousands of soldiers marched in step, shouting bold chants as their cavalry led the way. "The princess is a true patriot! Without her, we'd still be miserable souls shivering in the cold wind and guarding against the sandstorms. Now we wear snow-white cotton and eat fiery peppers and sweet melons. Every one of those things brings tears to the eyes of the men of the northwest."
Yu Fanfan may not be from Great Qi, but her legend is everywhere in Great Qi.
The children's story:
The beggar boy becomes emperor in the blink of an eye. "Big sister, with me here, you can do whatever you like throughout Great Qi!"
The child grows into a handsome young man, quietly nudges his imperial uncle aside, and glares at his biological father. "Mother, go chase love! When are you finally going to find me a dad?"
The richest man in Great Qi, reunited with his family, walks up to Yu Fanfan. "Auntie, the world is so big. You should go see it. Don't worry, wherever you go, your nephew will be your very own walking bank."
A certain man ignores the three little ones vying for Yu Fanfan's attention. Their eyes meet, sparks fly, and the same thought comes to them both: I will never give up on her!
Reader's guide: Don't guess who the male lead is. The focus is on the heroine raising children and building a fortune. Everything works out happily.
Theme: Even when exiled, live boldly and bravely.
