From Butchering Pigs to Wealth and Glory

When Mu Yunci transmigrated, the matchmaker was arranging a marriage for her:

"General Fang comes from a well-off family, and his son is gentle and refined. He's a good match for you!"

Mu Yunci thought about it. As a human weapon from the apocalypse, marrying a general who led troops into battle did sound like a good fit.

It wasn't until the wedding day that she discovered:

The family was well-off because they were the only butchers for miles around. Even the local government had to ask them to slaughter its pigs, so they never lacked work.

The son was gentle and refined because he had been sickly since childhood. One extra step during the day meant an extra bowl of medicine at night, and he looked like he could die at any moment.

He was called a general because the garrison general of Jinzhou had started out as a butcher. Once he rose to power, every butcher in the whole region became a "general."

Outside, a fat pig squeals as it waits to be slaughtered. Inside, there's a sickly man who doesn't even have the strength to cough.

Clutching a bloodstained handkerchief, he smiles. "Wife, I'm afraid I won't live past tomorrow."

Mu Yunci thinks it over. Slaughtering pigs is just slaughtering pigs. It's nothing she can't handle.

Then, on their wedding night, she touches the short-lived man's hand:

His palm is ice-cold, exactly what you'd expect from someone near death.

His fingers are calloused, which doesn't quite match the rumors...
