The Dark-Skinned Outcast and His Fake-Human Husband

[Dark-skinned, muscular bottom; foolish idiot; from universally disliked to universally adored]

Jiang Yuan was supposed to spend his entire unremarkable life in a mountain village. Then someone told him he was actually the young master of a wealthy family in the capital, switched at birth by mistake.

Overjoyed, Jiang Yuan thought he'd risen from the dirt to become a phoenix. Lost in his delight, he failed to notice the disdain in the eyes of the parents who had come to take him home.

Weak and foolish, Jiang Yuan had spent twenty years in the village and grown greedy. He resented the fake young master for taking his place and competed with him at every turn.

He stole his jewelry, tore up his certificates of achievement, and stole his boyfriend. Then one day, he shoved the fake young master down the stairs, leaving him unconscious in bed.

Panicking, Jiang Yuan went to the boyfriend he'd stolen for help, only to be harshly scolded. He learned that the boyfriend had never liked him. The fake young master had felt guilty and offered to give the boyfriend up.

His parents and older brother were disgusted by his cruelty, too. Jiang Yuan's actions had exhausted the last of their patience.

To punish him, they sent him to marry into the Qi family, where the eldest young master was dying of illness, as a bride to bring him good fortune.

Rumor had it that the Qi family's eldest young master was unpredictable and, after a serious illness, had stopped hiding his true nature. He had married ten wives in succession and abused them all to death.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan ran to his older brother in tears, promising to behave and never bully anyone again.

His older brother slowly pried his hands away, then walked straight to the study without sparing him another glance.

And so Jiang Yuan was sent to the Qi family.

The Qi household was steeped in death and decay. On their wedding night, the Qi family's eldest young master climbed onto the bed. His body spread over Jiang Yuan like a puddle as he called, "Wifey."

Married life was better than Jiang Yuan had imagined. The Qi family's eldest young master didn't seem as frightening as the rumors claimed. He was willing to obey Jiang Yuan, prostrating himself at his feet and becoming his servant.

Jiang Yuan ran wild in the Qi household until he accidentally saw his husband shed his human skin, revealing an interior covered in eyes.

Terrified and trembling, Jiang Yuan scrambled away and called his boyfriend, begging him to come get him.

All he got in response was an impatient voice, followed by the fake young master's puzzled, coquettish voice.

Jiang Yuan's heart turned completely cold. By then, his husband had reached the doorway and squeezed in through the gap. Countless densely packed eyes wound around Jiang Yuan's ankles.

Wifey, wifey, wifey, wifey...

Why are you leaving?

At first, everyone had only wanted to teach Jiang Yuan a lesson. They planned to bring him back from the Qi family once he realized his mistake.

But before they could do anything, Jiang Yuan came running home in a deranged state, his pregnant belly swollen. His former arrogance was gone.
