Gu Mingyu transmigrated with a worthless rock in his hand.
In his previous life, he had been a celebrated top scholar.
Later, jealous rivals framed him and had him dismissed. His grief and resentment ate away at him until he died.
As soon as Gu Mingyu arrived, someone sent him a man to marry, supposedly to bring him good fortune.
How could there be such a young, beautiful, slim-waisted, long-legged man in this bitterly cold corner of the northern frontier?
He had to be a spy!
But the man was so capable, and so good at using his charms, that Gu Mingyu found himself falling for him before he knew it.
Gu Mingyu could turn stones into gold. One stone yielded jade, another tourmaline, and he made a fortune.
Just as he was getting ready to settle into a quiet life, the man actually wanted to leave him?
No, he would never let him go!
Coughing and crying, Gu Mingyu said, "I belong to you for the rest of my life. Wherever you go, I'll follow! Here are the deeds to three shops and four houses. They're all yours!"
Yan Yan was the most sharp-tongued man in the whole area.
"That mouth of his? Who'd marry him!"
"His pregnancy mark is so faint. I wouldn't want him even if he were beautiful!"
"He was kidnapped by bandits. Who knows what happened..."
Yan Yan chased off the gossips with a broom. "I'll, Yan Yan, marry the best of them all!"
But to pay for his seriously ill mother's treatment, he willingly married a sickly man to bring him good fortune.
The sickly man couldn't farm, hunt, or gather firewood. He was a complete good-for-nothing who did nothing but play with rocks all day.
Yan Yan had to care for him every day and figure out how to earn enough to support the household.
Little by little, life improved. Yan Yan wanted a divorce, but who would have thought the sickly man would start acting shamelessly?
Clinging to his leg and coughing up blood, the sickly man said, "I think I'm about to die. I need you!"
