My Husband Can't Be a Cannon Fodder, Can He?

A career-minded young lady who plays the fool to catch the tiger & a scheming, jealous beggar emperor

By a twist of fate, Xie Ningrou became the chosen one of a divine System. Following its instructions, she picked up the little beggar Zhu Qixing from the street.

After bringing him home and raising him well, she discovered that the little beggar had grown into a handsome, elegant young man!

Before she could even act on her attraction, the divine System told her that this was her future husband! But later, this husband would marry her off to someone else and even cause her to die miserably in a foreign land.

Xie Ningrou was furious! Just as she was about to torment him, the divine System revealed a secret of fate: if she became his beloved first love, she could enjoy a life of wealth and honor and die peacefully of old age!

Wasn't this just a matter of attaching herself to someone powerful? To change her tragic destiny, Xie Ningrou began her long journey of "winning over" the little beggar.

But a good woman never lets a grudge go unanswered. To his face, Xie Ningrou would fuss over the little beggar's injuries. Behind his back, she'd wait until he was unconscious to slap him a few times. She'd act as if she couldn't bear to make him drink the bitterest medicine, then secretly add a handful of bitter coptis to the prescription.

After raising the little beggar into a man skilled in both the literary and martial arts, she watched him get recognized and brought to the palace to become emperor. Xie Ningrou was overjoyed, but then she unexpectedly glimpsed the future: not long after her death, Zhu Qixing would also die in a rebellion led by the Prince Regent...

Xie Ningrou was stunned. My husband is the emperor! My husband... can't possibly be cannon fodder, can he?
