Husband, Come Home for Dinner!

~ In his previous life, Song Bozhou lived a spectacular life. Though born into a poor farming family, he had a brilliant mind. He attended a private school, took the imperial exams, entered court as an official, and steadily climbed the ladder. He wielded power over the whole court, was ruthless, persecuted loyal officials... He even cuckolded the emperor and nearly succeeded in usurping the throne, putting his own son on it. Everyone called him the greatest traitor in the Xu Kingdom. But he refused to admit it. Even as he knelt at the execution ground, on the brink of death, he kept cursing the old emperor for stealing his husband and forcing him into wickedness! Only after he died did Song Bozhou learn that he and his husband were characters in a storybook, side characters meant to highlight the happiness and goodness of others. Given another life, Song Bozhou no longer wanted to be an official. He only wanted to take his husband far away from the plot, make a fortune, open a private school, teach a few students, and pick chrysanthemums by the eastern fence. And get revenge while he was at it! Wen Huaijin had transmigrated. Not only had he become a man who could bear children, he also discovered that he was the protagonist's love interest in the book! In the story, he married a rough, uneducated hunter from the village. The hunter was slow-witted, taciturn, and plain-looking, and had a whole pack of awful relatives, but he was a good husband who cherished his spouse. So they fell in love after marriage, making a living and building a fortune together, while also matching wits with his awful in-laws. Their life was lively and happy. Wen Huaijin: "..." Those awful people were terrifying. He just wanted to run away! So. Wen Huaijin decided to abandon his destined partner in the book and seek refuge with the great villain. But to his surprise, the villain, Song Bozhou, was incredibly handsome! And the other man fell in love with him at first sight. Wen Huaijin: As expected of me! They quickly married and became a loving, blissful couple. To stop her villainous husband from courting disaster, after they wed, he pouted and begged him to go home and teach, so they could grow old in peace. The villainous husband loved him to death and agreed on the spot. "All right!" But then... Years later, a group of people appeared, holding up a yellow robe, and knelt before his husband.
