When Shen Mu opened his eyes, he had returned to the day of his wedding to Tao Xi in his previous life.
In his last life, after they married, he spent the entire family fortune supporting Tao Xi's studies for the imperial examinations. But after Tao Xi passed with flying colors and was chosen as the princess's consort, he cruelly abandoned his husband, and Shen Mu's whole family died on the road to exile.
In this life, Shen Mu decided that mountains could collapse and rely on no one but himself. Instead of supporting a faithless man, he would take control of his own fate.
As for this coldhearted ingrate...
Shen Mu sneered and changed the wedding into a marriage where Tao Xi would join his household, ending Tao Xi's hopes of taking the imperial examinations.
But this husband of his seemed to have gone a little dim. Not only did he cheerfully accept the humiliating arrangement, he even brought out ice when the summer heat grew unbearable and asked Shen Mu if he wanted some to cool off.
Shen Mu: Hand it over!
With memories of his previous life and all the curious inventions of his silly husband, Shen Mu embarked on a path completely different from the one he'd taken before.
During a drought, he traveled a thousand miles, trading ice for countless sacks of grain and saving the people of Fengning County from disaster.
Amid war, he reorganized the Merchant Alliance and gave up a great deal of his own wealth to send life-saving fodder to the besieged soldiers.
In the desert, he opened up the Silk Road, organized merchant caravans, traveled west to trade, and established routes for commerce between the Great Yan dynasty and its neighboring countries.
In this life, Shen Mu made his own way into the world, turning the tide and saving the Great Yan dynasty from collapse.
In the end, he became the Great Yan dynasty's most celebrated imperial merchant.
Everyone praised how a ger could stand as tall as any man and be even more capable. Only Shen Mu knew that Tao Xi, the husband who had married into his family, was always there to support him.
It was Tao Xi who carried him out of the desert after traveling a thousand miles.
It was Tao Xi who supported him without reservation as he carved out a new future.
It was Tao Xi who stood up for him when everyone objected to a ger going into business. "A ger can stand tall, too. No one in the world compares to my husband!"
After many years, Shen Mu sat leisurely in his reclining chair, eating grapes that Tao Xi fed him, as Tao Xi asked, "Should we have hot pot tonight?"
Shen Mu smiled. "Sounds good!"
Tao Xi transmigrated into a book, becoming the Tao Xi in the story. He was a scoundrel who had gained power, abandoned his spouse and child, and climbed the social ladder, playing the role of a wretch to perfection.
Looking at his beautiful husband, he felt a headache coming on. How was he supposed to explain that he wasn't the despicable scoundrel everyone despised?
A few years passed in a flash, but Mu's belly still showed no sign of a baby. His parents-in-law wanted grandchildren to dote on, and kept urging them to have children.
But Tao Xi, who had barely even held his husband's hand since they married, was feeling terribly frustrated. He wanted to have a husband and children waiting for him at home, too.
Then one day, under cover of darkness, he climbed into Shen Mu's bed and asked softly, "Husband, are you still angry with me?"
---- Coming Soon ----
Su Qing was the ugliest ger in the ten-mile area. Because of his elder sister's scheming, he was forced to marry Song An, a village thug.
Song An was forced to marry an ugly ger and deeply resented it. He couldn't stand the sight of Su Qing, and beat and cursed him at every turn. Su Qing's life was pure misery.
The villagers all said Qing had terrible luck. He had jumped from the fire pit of the Su family into another fire pit, and now Song Daliang was tormenting him until he was barely recognizable. No one knew when he'd ever be free.
Su Qing thought so too. He had nothing left to hope for. Perhaps when he died one day, it would all finally be over.
Then, one day, Song An suddenly changed. He not only gave up his old thug ways, he also became obedient and treated Su Qing with endless kindness.
Su Qing never dreamed that he would one day become the wife of a scholar, the envy of the whole village. After that, their family moved to the capital, where they had a grand house, fertile fields, and countless servants. Even the nobles and officials bowed to him respectfully, addressing him as the noble lady of the first rank.
Song An was a college student who worked part-time as a library assistant. He never imagined that a book would knock him into another world, where he became a thug, hated and cursed by everyone, and married a notoriously ugly ger from a nearby village.
But this supposedly ugly ger had bright eyes, graceful brows, a handsome, dashing face, broad shoulders, narrow hips, and a perfectly defined six-pack. He was a supermodel-level hottie... Damn!
Those people must be blind to slander him as an ugly ger!
With a husband like this, shouldn't Song An treasure him and cherish him with all his heart? He couldn't care less what anyone else thought.
Later, he not only made Qing the wife of a scholar, envied by everyone in the village, he also earned him the title of noble lady of the first rank, making him a consort admired by the whole realm.
