Nan Qiao was a famous loafer in the transmigration bureau, a leader among the idle. He spent every day slacking off and waiting to die. Every time, he'd use a clever trick to land a role as a spoiled rich-family villain in a wealthy-family novel. The missions were easy, the lifestyle comfortable: before the plot began, he'd lounge in piles of money, and once it started, he'd skillfully court disaster and end the mission. Although he'd completed hundreds of worlds and achieved a 100 percent completion rate every time, he was always playing a disposable villain or on his way to playing one.
The employee responsible for assigning missions was exasperated with him. He had looks every bit as good as the bureau's ace employees, yet he was greedy for comfort. So the employee secretly manipulated things and sent him to play a disposable villain in a rebirth-era military-marriage romance, a story set in a time of severe shortages. The idea was to toughen him up.
When Nan Qiao transmigrated, the male lead had just been called home by his family for a matchmaking meeting. The reborn female lead regretted misjudging people in her previous life and breaking off her military marriage with the male lead. Her life had then become miserable, so she resolved to hold on to him this time around. The leads would marry first, fall in love later, and live happily ever after.
But the night before the matchmaking, the male lead caught a little thief climbing in through his window. The thief had a slender waist and fair skin, delicate and fragile, with a beauty impossible to find in a village where everyone scratched out a living from the soil. The little thief looked up at him pitifully, full lips trembling. "Sniff... Please don't hit me. I... I haven't had a full meal in ages..."
The tall, broad-shouldered man with rugged features, always upright and incorruptible, released the little thief's hand as if it had burned him. His heart pounded.
Warnings:
1. Strong, rugged military man gong x lazy, useless beauty shou (really useless).
2. The shou is not a good person. He's a flirtatious beauty who leads people on. Others lust after his body, while he just wants a bite of braised pork. They each get what they want. Readers who uphold moral standards should click away.
3. The setting is fictional, very fictional, so don't expect historical accuracy. I'm making things up, the writing is bad, the logic is dead. If you want to argue, you're right.
Theme: Laziness and gluttony will be punished.
