Marrying into Wealth [Reborn]

In his previous life, Xue Zimu was forced to marry a man rumored to be vicious and terrifying, possibly even a sadist. He fought back fiercely and escaped that fate, but was left with a massive debt. For years, he was enslaved by the scumbag father who had abandoned his wife and child and the rest of his family. Just as the debt was finally paid off and Xue Zimu thought a brighter future awaited him, his vicious stepmother decided to wring out the last bit of his worth and make him take the blame for her son, who had hit someone while street racing. And so, Xue Zimu's life ended at the age of twenty-eight. Fortunately, time turned back, giving Xue Zimu a second chance. This time, he chose to marry into a wealthy family. Before the wedding Shu Zimu: I heard you're cold, cruel, and clueless about romance, and that you're impotent but have a sadistic streak? Qi Yan: ... Shu Zimu: It's okay. I know everything except the impotence is just a rumor. Qi Yan: ...Heh. After the wedding Shu Zimu: ??? What happened to being impotent?! Gossip has ruined my life!! Reader's guide: 1. A calm, gentle and accepting bottom who looks like a seductive vixen X a handsome top who looks cold and abstinent but has a head full of running commentary. One-on-one, happy ending. 2. Modern alternate setting where same-sex marriage is legal. 3. A sweet, indulgent and satisfying story about the couple doting on each other. Sweetness and wish fulfillment come first. The cannon fodder characters aren't very bright, and the plot may not always make sense. Readers who scrutinize the details, beware. 4.

Please add my new story to your reading list: After Reincarnating as a Cannon Fodder Substitute, I Got Pregnant by the Scumbag's Adoptive Father Chu Yu read a melodramatic novel and was furious on behalf of the cannon-fodder stand-in, whose name was similar to his own.

But that very day, Chu Yu transmigrated into the stand-in's body and accidentally slept with the scumbag's adoptive father, a sickly man supposedly suffering from a secret ailment. Remembering how the man had turned him inside out all night, Chu Yu couldn't help questioning his life: What kind of secret ailment is that? Whatever. Maybe he's shooting blanks, Chu Yu thought. But before long, something even more unbelievable happened: He was pregnant. Chu Yu: ??? Wait... Author, could you at least make this believable? So the secret ailment is that he can only get men pregnant?? Original Author: Don't pin that on me, thanks.
