Through Turbulent Times, the World Gifts Me a Beloved

share time: 2026-01-29 00:31:24

Su Xiao, a modern office worker who stayed up late binge-watching ancient dramas, suddenly transmigrates into Ye Zhaozhao—a “good-for-nothing young lady” in a turbulent era who just got rejected by her fiancé. She wakes up to find Gu Yanzhi, the God of War Prince escaping marriage, climbing over her wall—he mistakes her for a “wandering healer” and tries to kidnap her to cure his cold poison! Worse yet, she binds to the “Turbulent Times Counterattack System,” with the mission: “Help Gu Yanzhi secure his throne and win his heart.” She earns her first pot of gold with modern milk tea recipes and uses the system’s “Basic Cultivation Skills” to suppress Gu’s poison. They go from “mutual trickery” to “tacit bickering”: Su Xiao complains Gu is “colder than an ice cellar,” while Gu finds her “chattier than a sparrow.” But when Su is surrounded by rebels, Gu wraps her in his cloak: “No one touches my person.” When Gu’s poison flares, Su shoves hot milk tea into his hand: “This works better than cultivation.” Amidst chaos, they build their careers (quelling rebellions, boosting commerce) while sweetly bickering—turns out the best “gift from the world” is someone who turns bitter days into sugar with you.
