I Raise Rabbits by Farming

Lin Lu transmigrates to the Great Qi dynasty, becoming a young scholar who can't lift anything or do any hard labor.

His family is so poor all they have left is each other: a little brother and sister as thin as sticks, and a delicate little husband... Wait, a little husband? Wasn't the original owner only twelve?

What can Lin Lu do with this mess dumped in his lap? Work hard to make money, of course.

His family is weak and useless, bullied by the villagers. Lin Lu accepts that!

His little husband cries three times a day. Lin Lu accepts that too!

The village beauty is pregnant and weeping pitifully. Lin Lu accepts... No way. He's not raising someone else's child. Besides, isn't his little husband much better?

Using his family's traditional skills, Lin Lu leads them toward prosperity. In ancient times, he sells spicy chicken skewers, watermelons, and hot pot, builds his family a house and opens a shop, raises his husband to be plump and rosy-cheeked, makes a fine life for them, and even becomes the chancellor's apprentice.

Lin Lu feels that his life is complete. He's ready to coast on what he's already earned and enjoy a cozy life with his wife, children, and a warm bed.

A classmate comes to ask for his sister's hand. The classmate is handsome and upstanding, so of course Lin Lu is thrilled, and rather proud too. His sister really is a wonderful girl.

Lin Lu puts on his big-brother act and raises an eyebrow. "So, which of my sisters have you got your eye on?"

His classmate stammers, "I like your younger brother!" Then he bashfully glances at the little husband eating watermelon.

Lin Lu: ???

Why doesn't this dynasty have calming medicine? He wants to kill someone.

Lin Lu asks again, still refusing to give up. "Which of my younger brothers are you interested in?"

The classmate blushes and points to Lin Lu's plump, well-fed little husband.

Lin Lu immediately starts cursing. "I thought of you as a brother, and you want to steal my wife!"

That night:

Holding the little rabbit by the waist, Lin Lu presses his chin to the sensitive nape of the little rabbit's neck and gently bites his earlobe. Gripping the little rabbit's neck, he says, "You seemed pretty pleased with yourself this afternoon!"

Clutching the blanket, the little rabbit whimpers, "No! No! I love you most!"

The little rabbit trembles, cursing inwardly: If you're going to talk, why are you choking me?

The Drama-Queen Little Husband Takes the Imperial Exams

Xu Lang transmigrates into a farming novel, becoming a frail scholar who can't even kill a chicken.

From the start, he faces hellish difficulty: a sickly mother, an honest and taciturn father, a terribly biased grandmother, and a troublesome little child bride who follows him everywhere.

The little child bride is an expert at wasting money.

On the first day after joining the household, he does the dishes and nearly burns down the kitchen.

On the second day, he goes out to hoe the fields and steps on half the seedlings.

In just three days, he nearly squanders what little the already poor family has.

Watching their life turn into a complete mess, Xu Lang finally comes to his senses.

His grandparents are biased and mean? Then he'll split the family immediately and take only his parents to live on their own.

His little husband is clumsy and wasteful? Then he'll work like mad to make money.

As long as he earns money fast enough, the family can never go broke!

From then on, Xu Lang starts from scratch.

He sets up a street stall selling snacks: crisp pancakes, crunchy grilled sausages, and skewers fried with five-spice seasoning. His little business thrives, and he uses the profits to buy a house, a cart, and a shop for his family.

As his career flourishes, he also raises his little husband until he's plump and rosy-cheeked.

At first, he only thinks that since the boy is already here, raising a little fellow won't cost much. He might as well keep him around for fun.

But day after day, as he watches the little cabbage he's carefully tended grow clean and fair, with a sweet, obedient look and a soft, gentle manner, Xu Lang falls for him. He starts to realize that raising him really is quite fun.

His little husband, Li Ruan, may have a soft-sounding name, but he is no pushover. This sweet-looking little husband has plenty of schemes. Every day, he plots to ruin Xu Lang's reputation so that Xu Lang will pack his bags and send him back to his family.

The little husband is a drama queen. Sometimes he crouches at the village entrance, wiping away tears in the wind. Other times, he feigns grievance in front of outsiders, making himself out to be a pitiful child bride who's suffered every hardship. He's like a delicate willow bending in the wind, weak and helpless.

After a long day of hard work outside, Xu Lang returns to the village only to hear all kinds of rumors, and his whole world collapses.

Xu Lang makes Li Ruan take his medicine. What the villagers hear: The Li family's little fellow isn't even given food in the Xu household.

Xu Lang tells Li Ruan to eat fewer snacks. What the villagers hear: The Li family's little fellow got beaten for thinking he could eat snacks, and now he can barely walk.

Xu Lang tells Li Ruan to stay out of the kitchen. What the villagers hear: That child bride in the Xu family is so pitiful. After living there for years, he still isn't allowed to run the household. They treat him like a thief and won't even let him into the kitchen.

He knows his little husband is making up wild stories and playing the victim, but whenever he gets home and sees that sweet, obedient face, every harsh word dies on his tongue.

The little cabbage he raised may be devious, but he can't just throw him away, can he? Might as well keep him around for fun.

Author: "Xu, why did you take in a child bride?"

Xu Lang: "For fun."

Author: "Just like that? You seem to be taking pretty good care of Xiaobao."

Xu Lang: "I raised him when he was little. Now that he's grown up... for fun."

Author: "Oh~ For fun? Can you write that kind of fun on Jinjiang?"

[Note: The child bride is part of a fictional setting based on an imaginary feudal dynasty. Please don't take it seriously.]

The Hunter's Delicate Little Scholar

In his previous life, Yu Ning trusted the wrong people and met a tragic end.

Reborn, Yu Ning wants to live happily ever after with his hunter husband.

The two live in the mountains. The hunter is strong and sturdy.

He can catch wild rabbits, hunt wild boars, and pick the sweetest fruit for Yu Ning.

Though they live in the mountains, Yu Ning finds life as sweet as honey.

In this life, Yu Ning just wants to be a lazybones: eating, drinking, and sleeping.

He'll be obedient and listen to his hunter husband. His husband is the only one who treats him well and would never lie to him.

His husband sends him to study and tells him to get along with his classmates.

Study? Sure!

In front of the hunter, Yu Ning is all sweet and obedient. Behind his back, he writes essays that leave everyone at the academy too ashamed to raise their heads.

His husband takes him to live in a new house and tells him to get along with the neighbors.

All right! ... He sweetly greets everyone while his husband is watching, then rolls his eyes so hard they nearly reach the sky as soon as he turns away.

Qi Yu married a male scholar with a face as handsome as they come.

Qi Yu dotes on him so much that he fears the boy might get too warm in his hands or melt in his heart.

"My husband is young, tongue-tied, and gentle, so please be patient with him."

Villagers: "The scholar who spent ages swearing at someone at the village entrance without using a single curse word is tongue-tied?"

Villagers: "Gentle? He couldn't win an argument with me, so he brought you along to beat me up. How is that gentle?"

Qi Yu: "All of you just like badmouthing my Xiaobao behind his back. Xiaobao has told me everything."

Little scene:

Qi Yu leaves home to earn money, then sneaks back.

He sees his own delicate little husband with his hands on his hips, yelling at someone in the foulest language imaginable.

Villagers: "Now do you believe us?"

Qi Yu: "You must have bullied him too much. I wasn't home, so he had to stand up for himself."

Villagers: "Those two are crazy... Yes, yes, our whole village bullies you as a couple."

Little scene:

After they marry, Yu Ning secretly cries several times before Qi Yu finally notices.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong? Has someone upset you?"

After lots of comforting, the young master finally sobs, "Since we got married, you don't dote on me anymore. You even bully me!"

"When have I ever bullied you, sweetheart?"

"On the bed! I said it hurt, and I was crying!" Yu Ning snaps.

"I couldn't hear you, sweetheart. Next time, shout louder and I'll know," Qi Yu coaxes him.

"Really?"

"Really."

The next day, Yu Ning wakes up sobbing. Men are all liars!

He's spoiled, mean, and timid, but I love him anyway.

A Ning has plenty of flaws: he's materialistic, petty, sharp-tongued, and mean. He's not a perfect character.

Upcoming: Fluffy Critters Become the Beloveds of the Family Through Farming

Gu Tuan is the youngest prince of the Divine Realm, a darling of fate who grew up spoiled rotten.

After an accident, the little prince ends up in the lower realm and becomes the canary of the great general Gu Changjue. But the little canary has no talents, no skills, and no looks to speak of... unless you count his round little face. What can he do?

Get a job, of course! Every day, he carries a little hoe and plants cabbages in the east and winter melons in the west.

The hardworking little prince spends his days farming, going heave-ho, and turns into a little wooden doll or a warm little bed warmer at night.

Everyone in the general's household thinks the general's new favorite is an idiot who only plants weird things in the fields.

The little prince is working so hard in the lower realm that his brothers and sisters in the Divine Realm are worried sick.

But then...

The cool and aloof crown prince comes down to bring his little brother home, trips, and spends three years cursing the banana peel responsible. At the end, he leaves them with these words: "The east of the river is the east of the river for thirty years, and the west of the river is the west of the river for thirty years. Don't look down on a poor young man!"

The gentle eldest princess comes down to the mortal world, meets a beauty, and drools all over the ground as she cries, "I feel like I've seen this sister somewhere before!"

The little prince works diligently to make a living in the mortal world, all the while looking forward to the day his older siblings come to get him.

Then his winter melons turn into crystal fruit, and his little cabbages become celestial snow lotuses. His siblings still haven't come.

Even the people in the general's household fall in love with the little prince and feed him treats every day.

Tuan Tuan, do you want to try the pastries your big sister made?

Tuan Tuan, isn't the little flying cart Grandpa made for you cute?

Tuan Tuan...

The little prince generously gives all kinds of heavenly treasures to everyone in the manor. "Take these and eat them. Your little prince can grow more!"

Little scene:

The little prince returns to the Divine Realm. Unable to find him, Gu Changjue takes out his frustration on the little plants. The little prince watches from the heavens, furious.

That night, he appears in Gu Changjue's dream and whacks him with a little milk pot. "Idiot! You scoundrel! If you've got the guts, pick on me! What kind of man picks on the treasures I grew?"

Gu Changjue smiles dazzlingly. "Little one, I've found you!"

The next day, the Divine Realm's God of War, who has been asleep for millions of years, returns... and smashes the little prince's milk pot!
