Zhu Mian transmigrated into a book.
He became the cannon-fodder biological young master who was forced to marry in place of a fake young master. His intended was the story's great villain, who wouldn't survive past chapter three: Li Linyuan, the violent, tyrannical, obscenely wealthy eldest son of the Li family.
Zhu Mian: "There's a deal like this?"
He waved away the family members trying to force him into the wedding car, then climbed in himself. "You don't have to tie me up! I'll marry him!"
That night, Zhu Mian was sitting in the bridal chamber when a man so handsome he seemed otherworldly grabbed him by the throat.
Li Linyuan: "Heh. Who gave you the nerve to marry into this family?"
Looking at the man before him, handsome though he was, Zhu Mian wasn't afraid. The man had only a few days left to live, and would leave him a huge inheritance, making him a blissfully wealthy layabout (widower). Instead, Zhu Mian happily threw himself into the man's arms. "Husband~ It's my love for you!"
Zhu Mian eagerly tried to undress Li Linyuan.
Zhu Mian eagerly offered Li Linyuan tea and water.
Zhu Mian eagerly offered to scrub and massage Li Linyuan.
Zhu Mian's enthusiasm... scared his new husband, Li Linyuan, away. He lounged in comfort on a custom-made mattress worth tens of millions, legs crossed, dreaming of his happy life as a layabout in just a few days.
All he had to do was make it through three days. As long as he stayed out of the plot after that, he'd be the happiest person in the book!
Except...
Three days, a week, and then a month passed. Zhu Mian blinked in confusion at the still lively man in front of him. How was Li Linyuan still alive?
And why was the man's gaze so strange?
Later, Zhu Mian was heavily pregnant, pinned against a floor-to-ceiling window as the man bit greedily at his neck. He sobbed, his whole body trembling.
This lousy novel was a fraud!
It was bad enough that the villain didn't die! Wasn't the one who got pregnant supposed to be the protagonist shou?
Li Linyuan had suffered from chronic headaches for years and couldn't sleep more than two hours a day. A doctor had diagnosed him as being close to death, so his family, desperate for any solution, found him a male spouse whose birth chart matched his, hoping the marriage would bring him good fortune.
Li Linyuan sneered. He wanted to see who would dare marry him, and then he'd kill them.
He never expected someone bold enough to actually marry him.
His new little wife had delicate skin and a sweet, fragile appearance. He only came up to Li Linyuan's chin, but was surprisingly bold, hugging him and calling him "husband" as soon as they met.
His little wife even had the nerve to say he would serve him for the rest of his life and be his wife forever.
Li Linyuan sneered. "Let's see how long you keep that up."
Later on...
With red-rimmed eyes, Li Linyuan pinned Ye Wen against the wall and demanded, "Who were you just talking to?"
Zhu Mian rose on his tiptoes and kissed the man. "Husband, I love you more than anyone!"
Li Linyuan gripped Zhu Mian's neck and looked down at his little wife, who was irresistible in every way. He wanted to lock him up so no one else could see him. "You'd better mean it, my wife."
"From now on, don't smile at any other man. Women too."
A beautiful, low-energy layabout shou x a violent, tyrannical, extremely possessive, slightly unhinged but devoted-to-his-wife gong
There is a size difference.
And the shou really is a layabout. If he can sit, he won't stand; if he can lie down, he won't sit. He has no career ambitions and just lies around, until he ends up with everything.
