Transmigration: Marrying Into the General's Mansion as a Substitute Bride

Ziling, a modern medical PhD, transmigrates into the body of a fifteen-year-old noble girl who attempted suicide after refusing an arranged marriage to a crippled general. Upon waking, she discovers she possesses a spatial dimension bracelet containing a supermarket and a spiritual spring. Her stepmother and half-sister, Ziyan, force her to marry in place of Ziyan to the General’s Manor, believing the family is doomed after Ziling’s father submits a false treason memorial against them. Ziling secures her late mother’s dowry by secretly transferring it to her space before the wedding.

On her wedding night, imperial guards raid the General’s Manor, arresting the family for treason. Ziling overhears her father’s conspiracy and realizes he intends to sacrifice her to save his own position. While the guards confiscate the estate, Ziling uses her space to empty the treasury and store food, leaving the guards with nothing. The entire family, including the severely injured young general Gong Mohan, his mother, and his younger siblings, is sentenced to exile three thousand li away. Ziling chooses to remain with the General’s Manor rather than return to her abusive father, swearing loyalty to her new family.

During the arduous journey, Ziling uses her medical knowledge and spatial resources to care for Gong Mohan’s critical injuries. She bribes the escort guards with jade and food to allow the injured general to ride in a supply cart. As they travel through drought-stricken lands, she secretly provides her family with modern food, water, and medicine from her space, hiding her abilities behind excuses of buying them from peddlers. Her competence and kindness gradually win over the skeptical Gong Hao and the terrified Gong Ying, while Gong Mohan remains suspicious and cold, unaware of her true origins.

Gong Mohan secretly dispatches agents to investigate Ziling’s past, noting her decisive nature contradicts the timid girl he was told about. Meanwhile, Ziling’s space upgrades after she helps a starving family with water, granting her a spiritual herb garden and purer healing spring water. She uses these resources to treat Gong Mohan’s leg injury, which had lost sensation, and to sustain her family through the harsh conditions. Despite his physical weakness, Gong Mohan begins to develop feelings for Ziling, though he masks his vulnerability with hostility.

The group faces further hardships as water supplies dwindle and guards grow crueler. Ziling continues to balance her secret advantages with the need to appear ordinary, purchasing a wheelbarrow to transport Gong Mohan and gathering herbs to disguise her medical treatments. The story follows their struggle for survival as they navigate the treacherous exile route, with Ziling determined to heal her husband and clear the General’s Manor’s name once they reach their destination.
