Please read the content warnings carefully before starting:

3. This is a one-on-one romance, with a male pregnancy, a sweet romance, and no angst throughout.
A strange woman has recently arrived in Luoshui Village, Songhua Town.
The strange woman is as beautiful as a goddess from the heavens, yet she's both lazy and weak, so slender she could be held in one arm, and she can't even afford a meal.
Everyone in the village thinks she'll starve to death on Mount Lao.
But who could have guessed...
Zhu Mingyi is a capable young man, praised throughout the surrounding villages for being able to shoulder heavy loads, carry things, do business outside, and cook at home. Without a word, he marries the lazy woman from Mount Lao.
The villagers sigh: How could such a fine young man make such a foolish choice...
The useless Xie Qiongnuan: Heh! What exactly have I done to make you all think I'm useless?
At first, Zhu Mingyi, forced into marriage: She's so weak. I have to work even harder to earn money, or she'll starve to death!
Later, he realizes he may have married a lucky wife. Ever since they wed, they've had more and more money, and their lives have only gotten better.
They even have enough money to move to the county seat.
But... good times don't last.
In the fourth year of Ruikang, a devastating locust plague struck Jiujiang. It was followed by a prolonged drought, leaving the fields barren and the land littered with starving corpses.
With his memories restored, he gazes at her fair profile and asks, "The people of this vast realm are all my subjects. Now they are starving in the streets. My wife, with your extraordinary talents, is there any way you can help me save them?"
The lazy woman from Mount Lao, Xie Qiongnuan: "Brother Yi, don't look at me like that. I... I'll help, all right?"
Notes: 1. The female lead transmigrates from the apocalypse and comes with a spatial ability. She's a food-loving darling adored by everyone.
2. The male lead has amnesia early on. He's a capable, hardworking, and prickly young man. After regaining his memories, he's domineering in public, but shy, jealous, and fiercely protective in private.
Coming soon: The Immortal Venerable's White Moonlight (Matriarchal World)
The Ji family of Lingcheng has a famous sickly girl who gasps for breath every few steps and vomits blood after a few more. With a useless spiritual root, no sect is willing to take her as a disciple, and she becomes the laughingstock of her family.
Unexpectedly, this woman catches the eye of Ancestor Yanyu, master of Liuyun Hall at the Qinghua Sect, and is chosen as his first disciple.
After reincarnating to cultivate anew, the Demon Venerable Ji Junchu develops severe insomnia. She discovers that if she falls asleep in the arms of the old Taoist Yanyu, it can soothe her tightly wound nerves.
To treat her insomnia, the Demon Venerable Ji, who has never been interested in romance between women and men, barges into the sleeping quarters of the master of Huanyu Hall. Her lips are deathly pale as she pleads pitifully, "Master, I'm afraid of the dark!"
The man in a deep purple brocade robe turns around. His face is sharply carved, his eagle eyes slant upward, and he is the very picture of cold, rakish elegance.
He curls his lips and gazes into her eyes, his voice tender and affectionate: "Come to my bed!"
Everyone says the master of Liuyun Hall is madly in love with his sickly disciple. He gives her everything she wants and seems determined to turn her into his wife.
Even the Demon Venerable Ji nearly believes it, until one night, when she tries to soothe her tightly wound nerves once and for all.
She takes him, but the name he murmurs is someone else's: "Qingcang."
Later, Daoist Lord Qingcang, who vanished from Piaomiao Peak a hundred years ago, returns to the sect. The Demon Venerable Ji sends out her spiritual sense and sees her in full.
Her face resembles Ji's by half, but her silhouette is almost identical. No wonder the old Taoist always keeps his eyes closed in bed, running his fingers over Ji's shoulder blades again and again.
The Demon Venerable Ji leaves without looking back.
Ten years later, they meet again.
He binds her with an Immortal-Binding Cord.
His dark eyes turn sinister. "Still running?"
Ji Junchu raises an eyebrow, breaks free of her restraints, lifts his chin, and laughs softly. "What do you mean, Master?"
