The Spoiled Brat Is Forced to Raise a Kid and Catch Ghosts

Also on the coming-soon list: "Has My Househusband Beauty Revealed His Identity Today?" The blurb is at the bottom.

Blurb:

The metaphysics expert Yun Qing transmigrates into the body of a short-lived young Daoist, just like himself.

His life is about to run out once again.

His cheap master quickly sends him an aftercare tip:

Enter the mortal world, find the Su family, cling to a benefactor, and you'll have a chance at survival!

Yun Qing packs his things overnight and casually "rescues" a little dumpling who only eats dark resentment and isn't picky about food.

The two of them sneak into the capital.

He finds the Su family, all right, but the notorious young wastrel Su Chen scoffs as soon as they meet:

"Where did this little con artist come from? If you're going to curry favor with the powerful, at least come up with a better excuse."

Yun Qing thinks this handsome benefactor, who looks almost too otherworldly to be human, is just his type!

He is about to defend himself when the little dumpling at his feet lunges at Su Chen and clings tightly to his leg.

Looking up, it delivers a devastating blow:

"Daddy!"

Yun Qing: "...You little rascal! Don't ruin your father's love life!"

The Su family: "!!! Whose child is this?"

Su Chen: "??? Where did this kid come from?!"

The little dumpling blinks, rubbing against the dazzling golden merit light around Su Chen:

"Daddy smells good. Hugs!"

From then on, the capital's number-one wastrel has two little followers.

One is forced to act aloof while catching ghosts and telling fortunes all day.

The other hangs off his leg every day, nibbling on his merit.

It only takes a few days for Su Chen to go from "Keep away from me" to quietly holding the soft little dumpling.

Until one day, the dumpling nearly loses its soul while saving Su Chen.

Red-eyed, Su Chen pins Yun Qing against the wall. "Save him! Name your price!"

Yun Qing swallows and tentatively asks in a small voice:

"Then... how about we get married? The kind where we make a pact for a hundred years."

Su Chen: "???"

The dumpling in his arms suddenly opens its eyes and claps its little hands:

"Yay! Two parents mean golden light and twice the food!"

Later, Yun Qing's death curse has passed, and he packs his things, "getting ready" to run away.

Su Chen grabs him and pulls him back, his eyes dark. "You slept with me and now you're leaving?"

Yun Qing is shocked. "When did we ever sleep together?!"

Su Chen lifts the dumpling, who is sneaking bites of his merit, and says with complete conviction:

"The evidence is right here, and you still want to deny it?"

The dumpling licks its lips and blinks. "Father, Daddy is right!"

Yun Qing nods. "I think so too."

Su Chen: "...???"

#I thought I'd cling to a benefactor and live the good life. Why is he the one clinging to me?#

#My kid doesn't eat resentment. It eats matchmaking red threads!#

Farming novel: "Has My Househusband Beauty Revealed His Identity Today?"

Lin Xiao transmigrates and becomes a man in an ancient world. He's married from the start.

His spouse is a poor scholar who can't lift a shoulder pole and can't see!

Lin Xiao: ?

A blind... scholar?

What a niche concept!

Inside the door is a mud-brick house with bare walls, drafts coming from everywhere, and a chill like an ice cellar.

Outside the door are the gloating faces of his original body's brother and sister-in-law, and the "blind" husband the whole family despises.

Lin Xiao wants to flip the table.

Whoever wants this marriage can have it...

Then he sees Shen Qingzhou's face.

By candlelight, the man's features are delicate and handsome, his bearing gentle and composed. When his lashes lower, it looks as if he has gathered moonlight in his eyes.

Lin Xiao quietly sets the table back down.

...Fine, maybe this marriage isn't so bad.

What's so hard about raising a beautiful blind man? He'll do it!

The day after the wedding, his husband's family makes things difficult for him, and his sisters-in-law are so mean they insult him right to his face.

Enough is enough!

Lin Xiao slams his bowl down.

They'll split from the family!

Right now, immediately!

He leaves with Shen Qingzhou, taking nothing with them.

The whole village expects the "blind weakling and his husband" to beg for a living.

Instead, they watch Lin Xiao turn a small business into a thriving success, transform their broken-down home into a brick-and-tile house, and make his husband healthy, handsome, and radiant!

Everyone in the surrounding villages is jealous.

That's it? How did a blind man's life get so good?

Only Lin Xiao knows how obedient and clingy his husband is.

In the morning, he combs Lin Xiao's hair; in the evening, he massages his shoulders; at night, he warms his feet.

His husband may be blind, but he's wonderful!

During the day, Lin Xiao runs his stall, while Shen Qingzhou sits on a little stool by the door and waits.

He raises his head when he hears footsteps. Though he can't see, he always seems to look right at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao hurries over and takes his cool hand. "It's cold outside. Why are you waiting out here?"

Shen Qingzhou clasps his hand back, his fingertips warm. "I heard my husband's footsteps. You walked quickly today. Did you miss me?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

The man is blind, yet he flirts so well.

He's even worse at night.

Though they were sleeping soundly, somehow Shen Qingzhou ends up resting his chin in the hollow of Lin Xiao's shoulder.

Lin Xiao squirms as he's tickled. "...Are you really blind? You hug me so precisely and nuzzle me so steadily."

Shen Qingzhou murmurs, "Yes, I'm blind. I can't see the way, so I can only look for my husband."

Lin Xiao's ears turn red.

Blind or not, this man's words are so sweet.

Until the day Lin Xiao comes home early from his stall.

He catches Shen Qingzhou pinning a burglar to the ground with one hand...

Lin Xiao: "...???"

Still holding the man down, Shen Qingzhou turns his head and smiles gently. "Husband, he was taking advantage of my blindness!"

Lin Xiao: "..."

Weren't you supposed to be blind, weak, and helpless, and in need of my protection?

Which one of us is blind?
