[Farming] [Medicine] [Face-Slapping] [Taking Down Scumbags] [Building a Fortune] [Contrasting Cousins] [Female Lead Transmigrates into a Book] [Reborn Supporting Character]

Qiao Nuoning transmigrates into a book as a criminal's daughter exiled to the borderlands, and from the start is forcibly assigned to marry into a military household.

Her cousin Qiao Nuoxue, reborn, would rather be a concubine than turn down Lu, a school commandant about to be promoted to deputy general. She is convinced he can help her turn her life around.

Qiao Nuoning refuses to follow convention, too, choosing Pei Yi, a sickly man with little time left to live, who depends on his hunchbacked grandmother.

Everyone mocks her for choosing to become a widow, and Qiao Nuoxue waits to laugh at her. But who could have guessed that Qiao Nuoning would cure Pei Yi and raise him into a man accomplished in both letters and arms, who would go on to place first in the imperial examinations and become a top scholar?

When Qiao Nuoning tells him, "I'm your wife. I'll take care of everything for you, and earn money to support you," Pei Yi wishes he could place his whole heart in her hands. He willingly becomes her blade, her sharpest weapon, and obeys her every command.

No money or food at home? She gathers herbs, hunts, and starts a business, dazzling the whole city.

Difficult relatives causing trouble? No problem. If a beating won't kill them, she'll beat them within an inch of their lives, then split the household and go independent.

Powerful officials and wealthy merchants throwing their weight around? Then she'll climb higher than they do and keep them under her heel forever!

While her cousin is busy fighting for power and favor in the Lu household, Qiao Nuoning has already turned the miasma-ridden rainforest in the far south into a treasure trove of resources.

As for her frail husband, who was supposed to die of illness, he turns out to be a prince of an enemy kingdom, now helping her raise an army and rebel!
