Transmigrated: The Beggar Lord’s Quest to Win His Wife

A raging fire erased all the grudges and grievances of her past. As if waking from a dream, she was reborn with her memories intact in an unfamiliar ancient world. The apple of her parents’ eye, she was cherished in every way. She thought a happy life was finally hers, but fate had other plans. An ancient jade pendant revealed secrets of hidden treasure and martial arts manuals. A shocking conspiracy quietly unfolded, tearing two families apart. He was a wealthy young master, raised in luxury, but in a single night he lost his family and home, became a beggar, and learned the full bitterness of life. She led him out of a ruined house, and his fate was rewritten once more. The two, betrothed since childhood, spent six years together. He fell deeply in love with her and could not escape his feelings. He yearned for her day and night, restless and unable to sleep. Her hot-and-cold manner, drawing him close only to push him away, left him anxious and helpless. As cold as she was, she had never once smiled at him, yet she was affectionate and dependent with another man. “Brother”? Since when did she have an older brother? Faced with this refined, otherworldly brother-in-law who had appeared out of nowhere, he felt a sense of crisis unlike anything he had ever known. The feud behind the massacre of her family led to old martial-world grudges, which turned out to be closely bound up with the power struggles at court. As they pieced together the clues, the truth slowly came to light. One night, outside her bedroom. She asked, “You’re still here. Do you want me to send you on your way too?” “Oh… That’s very kind of you… No, no need. I’ll be off now. Get some rest.” He stammered through his reply. He should have turned around, but his feet moved of their own accord, carrying him one step closer to her room. She lifted her left foot and planted it on his right knee, watching him without expression. “Wrong way! Take one more step and I’ll kick you out.” He glanced at the knee beneath her foot and took an awkward step back. “Don’t be angry. I’m leaving now. This time I really mean it.” She drew her foot back and slammed the door shut. Leaning against it, she let the corners of her mouth lift and murmured, “What a fool.” The road to winning her heart was long and winding, but he would search high and low for a way. This is the story of a cool, slow-to-warm woman and a devoted, stubborn man. Love takes root without warning and grows ever deeper. Hand in hand, they return together, composing an epic love song in the martial world.
