Exiled to the Bitter Frontier; the Convict Wife Helps the General Earn a Marquis Title

Genre: Historical Romance · Slice of Life · Drama

When the tribulation failed, the great cultivator Guan Tang opened her eyes to find herself a convict slave exiled to the frontier. Her price was five hundred wen; those left over were to be sent to the rear camp as military prostitutes.

She acted decisively and stopped the burliest man there, offering herself as his wife.

“I know medicine. I can cure your father’s illness.”

The man handed over every last copper coin on him and bought her home.

Their household was in ruins, the mother-in-law worried, the younger siblings still small, and the father-in-law had been bedridden for two years. The villagers waited to laugh: what could a half-starved convict slave bought for five hundred wen possibly do?

Guan Tang rolled up her sleeves. Gathering herbs, farming, acupuncture, writing prescriptions—she used the last thread of her divine sense to sense the medicinal plants in the mountains and relied on the skills from her past life to hold up this precarious family. The father-in-law could get out of bed. The rice jar was filled. The barren mountain became a field of medicinal herbs.

Only then did the villagers finally realize: Gu Yuan’s five hundred wen had brought home a immortal.

Later, war broke out at the frontier. Gu Yuan went into battle in armor, while she held the rear. He killed enemies; she saved people. That silent man who winced even when spending five hundred wen went from a poor junior officer all the way to a great general.

Everyone in the world knew that the most formidable thing about General Gu was not his military merit, but his wife, whose medical skills were unmatched.
