Fengyu loved gold, silver, and jewels more than anything. Her greatest dream was to eat, drink, and enjoy life as a salted fish. Her fiancé was the third-ranked scholar in the imperial exams, handsome as the legendary Pan An. Her salted fish life was perfectly complete.

Her husband was poor? No problem, she was rich!

But who would have thought that the winds of fate would shift, causing her soul to transmigrate into the body of Xie Xun, a dashing and rebellious young marquis, even making him lose a leg due to her. To survive on the battlefield, the salted fish had to turn over and rise, learning horseback riding, archery, and military strategy. The young marquis, bearing her face, caused chaos everywhere. Her fiancé, deeming her wild and foolish, broke off their engagement.

She got engaged, and he reneged. She made money, and he squandered it. Her mountains of gold and silver were all emptied by him, and the two became locked in a love-hate relationship. Gradually, the plot started to go off the rails.

The ex-fiancé, after breaking off the engagement, regretted it and confessed his deep love.

Fengyu: I've already fallen for someone else.

A scheming girl at the archery range tried to kill her, only for Fengyu to stab herself instead.

Fengyu: What to do now? It looks like you've committed murder.

Her parents, who had defended the borders for decades, returned home only to say, "Daughter, go follow the young marquis and start a rebellion!"

How did the originally carefree salted fish storyline turn into one of a villain rising?

In the end…

Raising a husband turned out to be a money pit, but the husband was certainly worth it!

This time, Fang Chuning returns to the capital not only for the reunion with the entire family as Fang Lingjun comes back to the city, but also to follow the elder's wishes and select a descendant from the clan for adoption. Xiaoqi is already engaged, to the daughter of a prominent family in Jiangnan, with plans to settle there. Even though he is currently the eldest legitimate son of the Fang Family, Xie Xun is aware of his identity. The elder, concerned for his children, doesn't want to gamble on the constancy of Jun Xin over several decades, allowing Xiaoqi to settle down and start his career peacefully in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is under the control of the Fang Family, far from the emperor's reach, ensuring a comfortable life. Xiaoqi is willing to settle there. Fang Chuning cannot remain a wealthy idler forever; when the elder steps down, Xie Xun will reconsider arranging a position for him. Therefore, the elder wants to select a child for adoption from the Fang Family's clan.
