After Disguising Myself as a Man to Take My Brother's Place in the Countryside

A story about a straight man being turned gay and then straight again: he thinks he has fallen for her and is perfectly willing to do so, then passionately turns straight again!

Qin Zheng is the fraternal twin sister of a cannon-fodder educated youth in a period novel.

Her twin brother, following his cannon-fodder fate, blindly defended the heroine, accidentally injured someone, and ended up in jail.

Because she was so beautiful, she was kidnapped and forced into marriage by a local bully while taking care of her seriously ill parents in a remote area. She died jumping into a river while trying to escape.

Her parents were frail and heartbroken. Before long, they both died.

In a short time, a family of four: three dead, one in jail!

She returns to the day before her brother is sent to the countryside. Her misfortune has yet to begin, and Qin Zheng is determined to change her fate!

She has always been pretty and innocent, not much of a schemer. But after thinking all night, she actually comes up with a brilliant plan!

She will take her brother's place in going to the countryside!

They are fraternal twins and already look alike. Her brother can take care of their parents, and later the two of them can switch back!

That way, no villain will set his sights on her, her brother won't end up in jail, and their parents won't die!

Qin Zheng eagerly heads to the countryside, becoming Qin Sheng.

She carefully disguises herself along the way, binding her well-developed chest and even darkening her face. But she never expected that the educated youth station would have only one large sleeping platform.

Qin Zheng, having to sleep alongside a roomful of male educated youths...

New educated youths arrive in Liushugou this year, and the whole village perks up.

The female educated youths are all fresh-faced and pretty, while the men have thick brows, big eyes, and strong physiques...

Wait, about half of them aren't quite so strong.

One speaks softly and is so timid that he jumps whenever anyone raises their voice. Even the village officials have to lower their voices when giving him a talking-to.

The village official surveys the energetic young women and men and secretly grows uneasy. They look like they'll be hard to manage!

Sure enough, before long someone comes running for help.

"Village chief, hurry! The educated youths are fighting!"

The village chief hears this and thinks, See? He knew those brawny male educated youths would fight over the pretty female ones!

When he arrives, he sees several people grappling like bulls, muttering as they fight,

"You're always following Qin Sheng around. Don't think I don't know what you're after!"

"So what if you like him? What gives you the right to stop anyone else from liking him? Does Qin Sheng belong to you?"

Nearby, a little figure tries to calm one person down, then another, looking frantic and unsure what to do.

Isn't that the fresh-faced male educated youth?

Having so many people cling to her all the time is no good, so Qin Zheng finds the male lead of the book, Nie Chengfeng, the most masculine and well-connected man at the educated youth station.

"I... I'll call you big brother. Can you protect me?"

Nie Chengfeng looks at the person in front of him, tiny and delicate as a little bean, with a soft, quiet voice that's almost impossible to hear unless you listen carefully.

He has no intention of getting involved in other people's business, but a glimpse of the snow-white skin behind the other's ear dazzles him.

When Nie Chengfeng first agrees to be the little bean's big brother, he puts an arm around the little bean's slender shoulder and points at the male educated youths.

"Stay away from them. They're all the sort who think with their lower bodies."

Later, Nie Chengfeng secretly holds the little bean's discarded shirt, thinking with his lower body as he calls his name over and over...
