Synopsis

In his previous life, Xu Xing was the fake young master, switched at birth.

To stay with the Xu family, he studied dyeing and printing for over a decade, pouring his heart and soul into dye formulas, only for the real young master to take credit for them all.

In the end, the Xu family casually married him off to a drunkard, and he died miserably in the snow behind the house.

Reborn, Xu Xing finally gave up hope and stopped longing for affection from the Xu family.

After they drove him back to the countryside, his biological parents sold him to the He family as a good-luck bride, all for a mere twenty taels in betrothal money.

Rumor had it that the He family’s scholar had broken his leg and gone mad, and that his family were all difficult people.

He thought he was jumping from one pit of fire into another.

But on his very first day in the family, his mother-in-law killed a chicken to nourish him, his elder sister-in-law and brother-in-law rushed to do the chores so he wouldn’t have to touch water, and even the little ones at home stuffed their treats into his hands.

Xu Xing’s eyes grew hot. He rolled up his sleeves. “I can support the family too.”

From plant-based dyes to flowing-cloud brocade, he used the skills from his previous life to help the He family open a workshop and start a business. Their days grew brighter and brighter.

His husband, whose leg had been broken, not only recovered, but also passed the imperial examinations one after another, cherishing Xu Xing above all else.

When the families who had bullied him in his previous life were ruined and their members knelt on the ground, weeping and begging him to come back,

Xu Xing only shook his head. “Sorry, I only recognize the He family as my own.”

A certain reborn powerhouse put an arm around his waist. “What a coincidence. I only recognize you.”

[Reader Advisory]

Ahem: This is a slow-paced, cozy slice-of-life farming story. The protagonist is a timid little man with no sense of security, who gradually grows stronger with his family’s love. The two leads follow separate paths in business and the imperial examinations, supporting each other along the way. The focus is on mutual salvation and family harmony. It’s a gentle, steady-paced story full of everyday family life, so readers who prefer fast-paced face-slapping should proceed with caution~

It's very cool. Although I was very weak when I was reborn, and I didn't dare to complain to my family when I was bullied by gangsters, but it is understandable. After all, I have been ignored, bullied and suppressed since I was a child in my previous life. I will have to go through a process of growth in my next life. Since then, my confidence has slowly grown. The family and husband are also very good, fully supporting the protagonist's career, and they are harmonious and warm. The villains are all clowns and don't have many roles. Highly recommended for book lovers who like simple, warm and inspirational books!

It's quite novel to start making a fortune by dyeing cloth as an entry point (I've read about wine making before, which was pretty good). The process is not always smooth, but Xing always tries to do better next time, and slowly grows, from timid to independent. The relationship between the two has come naturally, and I like the star with all my heart and eyes that his husband is so gentle. I hope the author will update more and the article will be as exciting as ever.

It's very beautiful. This kind of warm and flowing life is very good, and it's not boring. The dyeing process is also very beautiful. The daily life of the family is also very warm. The emotional line of the protagonist is not very dramatic, but it is very real and makes people feel very warm.

I have finished following the latest chapter. This article is sweet, but not mindless and cool. There are no cheats. The He family is the type who does not cause trouble and is not afraid of trouble. The family atmosphere is very good. Xingxing has grown up step by step. From the timid appearance at the beginning, he felt scared even if he got the slightest advantage, to now he can face difficulties calmly and speak with reason. The changes are really big👍 Overall, the story is actually pretty good. I really like this kind of daily-style buddy novel. Xingxing and Huai'an each have their own specialties. The relationship between them is long-lasting and not abrupt. Both sides have long mouths and are sweet. They both care about each other and have unique little interests to send letters. I think it's super cute. But the two sides didn't spend much time together. Looking forward to more interactions in the future. The He family is very kind-hearted, everyone is kind, everyone is united, they don't play tricks, they don't have any bad intentions, and they are unanimous in dealing with the outside world. This is really good. However, there are relatively many top relatives who solve the problem in a reasonable way. At present, these twists and turns are within the range I can accept.
