CompletedDue to an accident, Xu Ruoyan transmigrated to the Great Qing Dynasty. However, the moment she opened her eyes, she was in a dire situation: sold to the deep mountains to be a wife for a blind man.
Not wanting to waste her second chance at life, Xu Ruoyan secretly gathered medicinal herbs on the mountain every day to save up for travel expenses, waiting for an opportunity to escape her blind husband.
Unexpectedly, one day, her blind husband discovered her unusual identity and gave her two choices: help him seize the throne, or die.
Xu Ruoyan thought, “Are there any differences between these two choices?”
Helplessly, Xu Ruoyan became an accomplice with Pei Jue. Together, they went from the wilderness and villages to the capital, opening pharmacies, earning money, building an army, and winning hearts.
Gradually, Xu Ruoyan managed her pharmacy with great success, even opening a chain of pharmacies in the capital, keeping her extremely busy day-to-day.
Pei Jue: “My dear, tomorrow I’d like to go to the lantern festival with you.”
Xu Ruoyan: “The people come first, serving the people. You’ll have to wait.”
Pei Jue: “I am also part of the people.”
Xu Ruoyan: “You aren’t sick.”
Pei Jue: “I have a heart condition from missing you.”
Pei An, standing nearby and not daring to speak, thought, “…How did my brother become like this!”
When raising the banner of rebellion, Pei Jue, wielding his long sword like a grim reaper from hell, killed anyone who stood in his way, charging all the way to the emperor and ending him with a single sword stroke.
As the officials were about to kneel and pay homage, they heard Pei Jue, standing before the imperial throne, say, “My dear, please take a seat.”
The group of shrewd officials were stunned: “You weren't like this just now!”
Xu Ruoyan × Pei Jue

PS: The male lead is not blind throughout the entire story; his sight will be cured later. The author isn't very good at writing political intrigue, so please skip if you dislike the rudimentary plot. Thank you.
