The Virtuous Matriarch Returns from the Future

[A bold, decisive female general x a powerful, capable husband]

(I) Xie Hanyi was born into an aristocratic family and raised to behave in every way like a highborn matriarch.

After marriage, she ran the household, served her mother-in-law, and even helped arrange for her husband's beloved cousin to marry into the family as his secondary wife.

Everyone praised her as gentle and magnanimous, saying that a virtuous wife should be just like the Marquis of Wu'an's wife.

But nobody knew that every day, faced with her sharp-tongued mother-in-law, her unruly younger brother-in-law, and her husband and his cousin constantly flirting in front of her, she felt nothing but irritation and disgust.

Then one day, Xie Hanyi transmigrated to five thousand years in the future.

There was no longer a husband's family to make her sick at every turn, no one to teach her to be obedient and endure in silence, and no one to accuse her of failing to act like a proper matriarch.

She entered a military academy, went to war, and earned countless honors over ten years, becoming one of the Federation's five generals.

She said farewell to her sweet husband at home, but was ambushed on her way to her new post.

When she opened her eyes again, Xie Hanyi was still dazed when she heard someone barking by her ear.

She turned to look. Sure enough, it was her long-absent husband, the Marquis of Wu'an, impatiently saying, "Miaomiao didn't push you into the water on purpose. She already apologized. Why are you still lying in bed pretending to be sick?"

Miaomiao was his beloved childhood friend and cousin.

Xie Hanyi remembered. She had transmigrated to the future because Lin Miaomiao pushed her into the water, and no one came to save her before she lost consciousness.

Listening to the endless accusations, Xie Hanyi forced her sick body out of bed.

She walked to the desk, picked up a brush, and wrote the words "Divorce Notice."

The Marquis of Wu'an was about to ask what she was up to now when a sheet of paper, still wet with ink, smacked him in the face.

At the same time, Xie Hanyi's voice rang out, icy cold: "Get out!"

(II) Xiao Zhi was the heir to a princely estate. Orphaned at a young age, he used ruthless means and stepped over mountains of bones to become regent.

After an accident, he transmigrated into the body of an ignorant, lazy nobleman's son five thousand years in the future.

He had just fulfilled his elder brother's engagement after his brother broke it off, marrying a military academy student with neither power nor influence.

For ten years of marriage, he was both a ruthless politician who made waves in the legislature and a devoted househusband who cared for his wife.

Just as he was preparing a celebratory dinner for his beloved wife, who had been promoted to general, the ceiling suddenly collapsed on him.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the imperial court, sitting high above the ministers, with the new emperor beside him still young enough to suck on his fingers.

Xiao Zhi's face darkened at once.

From then on, he spent every day emanating a gloomy aura, seeking immortals, consulting mystics, and searching everywhere for a way to return to the future and find his wife.

Until he saw the scandalous news that the Marquis of Wu'an's wife was demanding a divorce.

(III) After their long separation, Xiao Zhi had a heart full of tender feelings saved up for her.

But Xie Hanyi only gave him a knowing smile. "Afraid of the dark? A coward? Useless and relying entirely on your wife? Do you know my worthless beloved too, Your Highness?"

Xiao Zhi: ...I can still try to explain!
