The Fisherman's Husband

[Two male leads + farming + soul transmigration + powerful couple]

Qiao Mu had worked hard to build a successful career in the modern world. Who could have guessed that after falling asleep, he'd wake up in the body of a young man who had drowned, and find himself caught in a whole mess because of it?

The family that saved him demanded repayment for their kindness and tried to force him to marry their good-for-nothing, pockmarked son. But someone else had actually saved his life. Qiao Mu found that person and asked him to clear his name, but Qin Shi was a scholar who didn't want to risk his reputation, so he refused.

The village was backward and poor. His grandparents favored the eldest branch of the family, his father had died young, and his mother was weak-willed. His own reputation was in tatters, and no respectable family dared come asking for his hand.

But Qiao Mu didn't care. He cleverly realized that although the village lay beside a river, no one knew how to fish. Seizing the opportunity, he started by figuring out how to catch fish with fish traps, then traveled far away to buy nets and learn new techniques. Step by step, he grew his business until his original brand, Mu Yu Aquatic Products, became famous throughout the land.

The Qin Shi who had once rejected him so sternly later learned to say sweet things for his sake. The stubborn, aloof man learned to be tactful and get along with everyone. As the years went by, he would always blame himself for having treated Qiao Mu unfairly with his indifference back then.

As mountains and seas changed and time passed, the two encouraged and accompanied each other along the way. Qiao Mu went from a penniless young man to a fisherman husband renowned far and wide, while Qin Shi rose from an obscure commoner to a prominent figure in court, with countless followers and no equal in prestige.

When the lights dimmed, they were still like any ordinary married couple, murmuring to each other and sleeping side by side.

Day after day, night after night.
