The Lucky-Koi Farm Girl Who Spoiled Her Down-and-Out Chancellor

She is notorious throughout the surrounding villages as a crazy woman: fiery, fiercely protective, and utterly unreasonable. To keep her younger brother and herself alive, she takes in a lame beggar as her husband and shoulders the burden of supporting the whole family alone. He is silent and gloomy, resigned to his lot. She makes him fight, makes him teach, and makes him stand on his own two feet. From a rustic medicinal food shop to the imperial court, she uses her medical skills to help the people, while he clears a path with political cunning. She heals his leg, and heals his dead heart as well. He teaches her the art of political intrigue and stays by her side as she experiences all the world's splendor. When the truth comes to light, he returns covered in blood, determined to clear the injustice done to him. Everyone says he is ruthless, a Lord Gu with power over the whole court. No one knows that the only soft spot in his heart was given long ago to a girl who calls him a cripple.
