Shen Yi, an overworked corporate drone, dies suddenly and is transported to ancient times by the System.
System: “Sorry, I bound the wrong person. You can have this trading System. Bye!”
Shen Yi: “...”
Fine. With a golden finger like this, what more could he ask for? He could farm and do business in a little village, lie flat, and enjoy a carefree life.
Then an imperial “mandatory matchmaking decree” drops on him: the System has found him a husband.
He hears the man is the son of a convicted minister, and that he has a limp. Shen Yi plans to go through the motions, then politely bow out.
But the moment they meet, he can’t take his eyes off him.
All right, all right. With a face like that, I can overlook the limp. I’ll take care of him.
What Shen Yi doesn’t expect is that his husband comes with the rest of his family: a despondent mother, a sick younger brother, another brother who’s bullied, and a sharp-tongued concubine who keeps plotting against them.
Shen Yi: I just wanted to lie flat. How did I end up supporting a whole family?
Even more surprising, his husband, who seems cool and distant, appears to be... a little twisted behind closed doors.
Shen Yi thinks he’s the one taking care of his husband.
Only later does he realize he’s the prey being watched.
