I Am the Young Master of the Marquis's Estate!

Xie Chenyi transmigrates. When he goes to bed, he's still a modern-day office drone working 9-9-7. When he wakes up, he's somehow become... the young master of a marquis's household? There are none of the intrigue or treacherous power struggles for the throne he'd imagined. Life in the marquis's household is surprisingly... amazing! He can sleep until he wakes naturally and eat whatever he wants. His cheap marquis father and older brother, the heir, treat him well, too. He's living like he's in heaven. But his happy days last less than ten days. One day, Xie Chenyi gets up late and is sitting under the veranda eating a bun when he watches a group of maids and servants carry box after box of bridal dowry, decorated with big red wedding characters, into his palace. He casually grabs a maid and asks, eager for the gossip, "What's going on? Who's getting married?" The maid replies, "To inform the young master, today is the day you marry into the Imperial Preceptor's residence." Xie Chenyi: "Who? Me? Marry into? The Imperial Preceptor's residence?" Rumor has it that Gu Yunjing is rebellious and arrogant, cold-blooded and eccentric, and hates being restrained more than anything. He's the sort who would eat a person alive without spitting out the bones. Everyone says Xie Chenyi probably won't survive three days after marrying him. On the wedding day, during their wedding night, Gu Yunjing casually lifts the red bridal veil, his movements both disdainful and flirtatious. He plans to poison the young master of the marquis's household with a single Gu worm and be done with him--- But in the next moment, a hand reaches out from beneath the wedding robe and gently grips his wrist. The candlelight flickers, casting shifting shadows. Xie Chenyi cautiously sizes up the so-called foreign devil of the rumors. Gu Yunjing is as elegant as an orchid and as handsome as a jade tree, with the refined looks of a young gentleman. He doesn't seem frightening at all. Xie Chenyi breathes a sigh of relief. "Well, um, I'm hungry..." Gu Yunjing lowers his eyes. Xie Chenyi asks in a conciliatory tone, "Could I have something to eat before we consummate the marriage?" Gu Yunjing raises an eyebrow slightly, the corners of his lips curving into a faint smile. "What would you like to eat?" Only later does Xie Chenyi finally realize that the rumors are true. Gu Yunjing really is the sort who eats people alive without spitting out the bones. The blurb was screenshotted on November 6, 2021. Theme: Live well and keep striving.
