Blurb:
Li Xiao is a full-time writer whose books flop so badly that he has to rely on collecting rent to make a living.
Already a lazy couch potato, he becomes even more reclusive after both his parents die in an accident, immersing himself in the ocean of literature (novels) and unable to pull himself away.
One day, he wakes up to find that he's transmigrated, and that he's become a cannon-fodder character in a story called The Poisonous Minister's Tale, whose engagement is broken off.
Readers privately joke that The Poisonous Minister's Tale should be called The Hunt for a Brother and a Beauty. It's a motivational harem novel about the male lead, Jun Xingyi, who sets out to find his missing elder brother and willingly plunges into the treacherous struggles of court politics, where romantic encounters abound and people die all the time. In the end, he becomes a powerful chancellor, but never forgets his original goal of finding his brother.
But Li Xiao's character completely offends the male lead by breaking off their engagement. After his family flees to escape danger, he unfortunately becomes one of the cannon fodder used to show how cruel the enemy forces are.
After thinking it through, Li Xiao decides to grit his teeth and marry the eldest Jun son, the male lead's older brother and his own former fiance, if he wants to stay alive!
To avoid the deadly whirlpool at the heart of the plot and successfully latch onto his future brother-in-law's powerful support, Li Xiao plans to stay quietly in the countryside and gradually make both the Li and Jun families into the male lead's strongest support network.
Farming, raising chickens, doing business...
In short, Li Xiao does anything that can make money!
Years later, Li Xiao discovers that he's become the male lead's strongest backing as he rises to power.
Short scene:
The ruthless, decisive male lead says admiringly, "Brother-in-law, you've worked hard all these years."
His understanding, anxious-to-find-a-son parents-in-law look at him with pity and say, "Xiao Xiao, our eldest son and the Jun family have let you down."
His father and six older brothers from his birth family try to persuade him, each in turn: "Little Seventh, why don't you get a divorce? It's too hard for you to be alone."
Li Xiao, whose hand is cramping from counting money and who's privately having the time of his life: "Huh?"
P.S. 1. The love interest is not the male lead of The Poisonous Minister's Tale, but his older brother. He's basically just a plot device and will probably appear only a few times.
2. The transmigration-into-a-book plot is only briefly mentioned in the story, and serves as background.
3. The main focus is farming and business. I'm not good at writing romance~
P.P.S. I'll try to update daily~

Theme: Strive hard and keep improving yourself!
I feel really sorry for him. He has been walking on thin ice for most of his life.
I watched the ending until I felt a little sad for Xiaoxiao
Wuwuwu suddenly felt a little sad, Xiaoxiao still lost a lot, it must be the misfortune of wearing a book. What impressed me the most and moved me was the deep affection between Xiaoxiao and his father. I was so touched.
?? That's all. Where did Dalang go? What did he do? No one said anything behind his back.
It's so miserable, so miserable. From the beginning to the end, Li Xiaoxiao only opened porn twice.
It's a living author. I thought it was updated, but I didn't expect it to be locked! I want to watch the extras.
Wood is smoldering into charcoal, and pebbles are smoldering into coke. It requires a certain skill. The protagonist Su Hui doesn't have this skill.
I want to watch the extra episode! Ten years later, it can be true
No worries at all hahahahahahahahahahaha
It feels wrong! Father Li is 70 years old and Grandpa Jun is 85 years old. But as mentioned before, Grandpa Jun is only two years older than Father Li.
