The Hilarious Everyday Life in the Mountains

[Two male leads + parallel-world rural adventure + farming + coercion + comedy + happy ending]

[Brutish, domineering old rogue gong and a mischievous shou who never learns]

On a trip into the mountains, Shen Anchuan’s idle hands led him to grab a tree, and he ended up dragging his best friend into a remote forest with no village in sight.

There, he found the corpse of a man who looked exactly like him.

Hoping to make it home, the two resolutely entered a rundown village full of chicken droppings, only to stumble into a place with absurd rules.

The clan chief dumped them on the village’s most fearsome man.

In Shen Anchuan’s eyes, Min Chenghao was brutish and crude, and preferred hitting people to talking to them.

He fed Shen pig slop, made him sleep in the woodshed, and woke him before dawn to work in the fields. Shen was treated worse than a dog.

With his hands in his pockets, Shen lifted his chin and stared at the sky. He would get revenge!

In Min Chenghao’s eyes, Shen Anchuan was a pale, delicate little puppy.

He was useless at work, always causing trouble, and never gave up on his schemes. To top it off, he acted as if he were completely in the right. He was begging for a beating.

…

Before Shen Anchuan could get his revenge, his sworn enemy began looking at him in an increasingly strange way.

Fine. If I can’t beat you, I’ll leave.

Min Chenghao trapped him in a tiny space. “Running off comes with a price.”

Reader’s guide:
