[Farming + Medicine + Twins + The Husband’s Long Road to Redemption]
After a plane accident, Ye Qi, a master’s graduate in traditional Chinese medicine, transmigrates into the body of a poor farm girl with no parents. On turning eighteen, she discovers that in this dynasty, unmarried people must pay the government a fine of fifty taels of silver and perform three months of hard labor in prison!
What the heck! There’s actually a tax on being single!
She spends a single coin to buy a mute boy. Guided by a doctor’s compassion, she raises money to treat his muteness.
After all her efforts, the mute finally speaks. “With so many weapons in the armory, you had to train with a sword.”
“With a waist as wide as a water vat and a face as big as a millstone, even a pig looks slimmer than you.”
He reduces anyone who picks a fight with him to tears.
No one is allowed to bully his wife.
She knows why he was poisoned into silence. One lick of that mouth could poison her to death.
She thinks she can settle into a quiet, ordinary life, but it turns out her mute husband is no ordinary man!
Not only does he fake his death, he leaves her with a watermelon-sized belly.
When they meet again...
“You... Weren’t you supposed to fall off a cliff and die? The grass on your grave must be over three meters tall by now.”
After learning his true identity, Ye Qi loses her nerve at the thought of fighting a whole bunch of women over one man.
She grabs the children and flees in the middle of the night, but before they can even get out of Ye City, he catches her and locks her up. She can cry to the heavens and call to the earth, but no one answers.
“Sikong Yue, you bastard! Let me out!”
Sikong Yue sneers. “Not a chance.”
“Fine! Then let’s have two more children!”
Ye Qi: “...”
