Reincarnated as the female leader of a nomadic tribe, Shoukang Xiuqiu commands ten thousand people. They lack clothes and food, and winter is approaching fast. The tribe suggests she lead raids to steal grain from the Central Plains people. She immediately slaps the suggestion away and angrily scolds them, "How can we stoop to being beasts?"
Just when she’s starving, a beautiful young woman from the Central Plains arrives, offering a thousand shi (a measure) of grain as payment, asking her to rescue her brother who is trapped in the Anubi tribe. The tribe scoffs, saying, "Anubi has forty thousand troops. Let alone that we can't defeat them, Anubi and us share a common ancestor. Why would we help you fight our own people?"
Shoukang Xiuqiu sees the beautiful woman—pitiful and lonely, with no one by her side—and thinks, if she’s not rescued, she’ll probably be kidnapped by another tribe and become a breeding slave. How miserable that would be. Plus, they’re running out of food. Without hesitation, she agrees: "Alright, I’ll go to Anubi and get your brother back."
Her tribe warns her, "Leader, we’re the lowest-ranked tribe. By the rules of the steppe, we don’t even have the right to enter Anubi’s territory."
Shoukang Xiuqiu’s face is expressionless as she replies, "Then we’ll just set a fire, force them to come out and talk to me. That way it won’t count as us entering!"
The tribe’s jaws drop in shock: "Uh!!! Leader, are you serious? How can we possibly fight them?"
She boldly declares, "I’m just inviting them to join our big family, to strengthen our forces. If they refuse, then we’ll join them. Either way, we’ll get your brother back."
The tribe mutters: "Such a fierce woman!"
The beautiful woman from the Central Plains looks at this demon named Shoukang Xiuqiu with wide, amazed eyes, filled with great interest.
From then on, the tribe called Aguan, once unknown in the chaotic era of the Hu people, stormed northwards, slaughtering Hu soldiers and tyrants. The world was stunned, and they became famous overnight. Later, they established Western Wei, uniting all ethnic groups in a flourishing era, ending a century of chaos in the Central Plains.

One day in the camp, Shoukang Xiuqiu was being teased by her subordinates again.
"She’s obviously a Hu woman, but she kills Hu people so enthusiastically, you’d think she was from the Central Plains."
"Exactly, and she even married such a beautiful wife."
"What does that have to do with the leader marrying a wife?"
"It means she’s a henpecked husband. We call her the 'wife controls the hitter,' or simply 'wife rules.'"
Shoukang Xiuqiu was so angry she wanted to beat up those bastards. Suddenly, a soft, fragrant body hugged her from behind, sweetly whining, "Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu, I found something I like."
Her expression softened instantly, full of affection. "What has my lady found this time? Buy, buy, buy! We have money to spare!"
Xiao Hao nuzzled her cheek. "There’s a plain near the sea in the southern country, perfect for growing lychees and longans—you know how much you love them. So I want to buy some."
"Buy it! I’ll send the carts right away."
Xiao Hao suddenly whimpered and complained, "But they say I’m a fox spirit, a calamity to the country, and refuse to sell to me. Not only that, they say they wouldn’t even throw it on the ground to feed the dogs."
"The southern country dares slander my lady like that!" Shoukang Xiuqiu’s killing intent rose. "Bring me the marching maps! From now on, we’ll never be short of lychees again."
"Once we conquer them, we’ll eat for free and to our heart’s content!"

Because of lychees, the southern king whose country was destroyed muttered:
"Damn! Those treacherous merchants fooled me!"

Theme: Embrace the light, be strong and unyielding.
Ling Yu loves Gu Qing, and everyone knows that her love is both cheap and foolish.
She treats herself like a stone under Gu Qing’s feet, moving wherever needed.
On graduation day, it rained heavily.
Ling Yu’s hands were frozen red, pitifully holding a hundred balloons, rushing into the auditorium.
In the crowd, Gu Qing appeared mature and alluring, her curves accentuated by the bachelor’s gown. She was surrounded by a group of boys and girls vying to confess their feelings to her.
Ling Yu called out to her: “Gu Qing…”
Gu Qing’s eyes were filled with disgust as she stared at her wet body, her tone laced with hidden anger: “Is this amusing? Ling Yu, I could never possibly like women.”
The auditorium was silent as a tomb; everyone thought Ling Yu would force a smile and shamelessly cling to Gu Qing.
However, no one heard it. In Ling Yu’s mind, the system prompt sounded: [Congratulations, host. The female supporting character’s plotline has been completed. Task reward: Natural Death.]

After Ling Yu completely disappeared from Gu Qing’s world.
One time at a bar, a friend asked Ling Yu, “If you liked a woman as cold and elegant as Gu Qing, would you find everyone else dull in comparison?”
“Liked?” Ling Yu casually swirled her wine glass, her tone nonchalant: “Having liked a stingy straight girl? I’ll let you know once I fall for her…”
That night, the fragmented, colorful lights of the bar danced across Ling Yu’s face. She was surrounded by admirers, living life to the fullest.
Gu Qing sat in the adjacent booth, clenching her fists tightly.

3. The golden finger (cheat) sparkles brightly.
4. Updates come before midnight. Any other time is just typo corrections.
5. A slow-burn slice-of-life growth story.
