After Divorcing My Educated Youth Wife, I Got Tied to a Minimum Subsistence System

[Multiple heroines + divorce from the start + System + pocket dimension + farming + everyday life + feel-good power fantasy + ex-wife regrets leaving]

Early spring, 1958, Liujia Village in Northeast China.

It was the third year since modern office worker Chen An had transmigrated, and his wife, Wang Muqing, was about to return to the city.

Wang Muqing was a young city woman sent to the countryside, full of passion and ideals. Chen An was the opposite. His name was Chen An, and his personality matched the word “An”: he took life as it came and would lie down rather than sit whenever possible. One was always charging ahead, the other always lying back. The only reason they had ever made a life together was the heady passion of their early days. Once it faded, the cracks began to show.

The day their divorce was finalized, she boarded a wagon back to the city. He stood outside the commune with their four- or five-month-old son in his arms when a chime suddenly rang in his mind:

“Low-Income Benefits Sign-In System bound. Daily supplies: 20 jin of rice, 20 jin of flour, 5 jin of pork, 2 jin of beef, 2 jin of mutton, 30 eggs, and assorted seasonal fruit.”

Well, then. When a couch potato gets a low-income benefits System, does that mean he’s turned his life around? No, it just means he can lie even flatter.

He thought his days ahead would be spent raising his child, farming, and stockpiling food, living his peaceful couch-potato life. As long as they had enough to eat and drink and he could raise his son, that was all that mattered.

But for some reason, one woman after another started gravitating toward him.
