Blurb:

In the third year of the apocalypse, Lin Qi suffered countless hardships protecting his family, only to die at the hands of his own relatives.

As he closed his eyes, he thought, My life was such a failure. Maybe it's better to die.

But to his surprise, when he opened his eyes, he was alive again.

He had become a taciturn farmer from ancient times, and an inventory space that had stopped working during the apocalypse had come with him.

Since he hadn't died, should he just make the best of things?

Lin Qi refused. In this unfamiliar world, he had nothing to tie him down. Life was long and hard. He might as well die.

But before he died, he had to hold on long enough to fulfill the body's owner's final wish.

He gave the two old houses to the body's owner's older brother, hoping to fulfill the owner's wish to see his brother start a family.

Unexpectedly, his brother's eyes filled with tears as he grabbed Lin Qi's hand and said they had to depend on each other.

A male bride from the village kept giving him fruit. Lin Qi served him a bowl of rice, thinking that would settle things between them, but the young man froze and burst into tears. From then on, his face turned red whenever he saw Lin Qi.

Lin Qi scratched his head. What was he supposed to do? If things kept going like this, when would he ever get to die?

But when the villagers found out that Lin Qi had served the male bride a meal, rumors began to fly, and the young man even thought about jumping into the river.

He was responsible for the trouble he'd caused, wasn't he?

Lin Qi sat by the river and thought all night. He could die whenever he wanted, but there was only one male bride as kind and sensible as this one, and who was exactly his type.

The next day, he took out some gold and silver valuables from the space, useless in the apocalypse, chose a gold bracelet, and solemnly slipped it onto the young man's wrist. He wasn't going to die. He was going to get married!

The He family was known throughout the village as a "nest of lazybones." The family's livelihood depended entirely on He Anran and his mother. Years of hard labor had made him, a male bride, rougher than a man. The villagers privately said that the coarse He family's male bride and the dim-witted second son of the Lin family were a perfect match. Neither could look down on the other.

His life was so hard that even knowing the villagers were mocking him, he was still desperate to escape the quagmire that was the He family. The Lin family was poor too, but there were fewer of them. If he worked hard, maybe... he could get a bowl of rice every day?

So every so often, he'd pick wild fruit for Lin Er. After a while, Lin Er gave him a bowl of rice.

It was a bowl of gleaming white polished rice. He Anran took a bite and cried with excitement. He'd never tasted anything so delicious.

After that, seeing Lin Er reminded him of that bowl of rice.

Later, Lin Er led him into a small grove and put a gold bracelet on his wrist...

The villagers were right. He and Lin Er did make a perfect pair, but he got more than just one bowl of rice a day.

3. The male lead is, at heart, an energetic and positive young man who loves life!

The Farmer Who Became His Husband's Live-In Son-in-Law is a farming story with a male protagonist.

He Xiao spent his whole life as a live-in son-in-law of the Du family, because Madam Du had bought him as a child bride for Du Yunjun.

Fortunately, he never had to live the life of a farmer, bent over the fields. Unfortunately, Madam Du died too young. The Du household fell under the control of Concubine Xie, who gave birth to a son.

The vast Du estate was no longer Du Yunjun's domain.

If Yunjun wanted bird's nest soup or snow clam, he was scolded for being greedy. If he slept in a little, he was called lazy by nature.

He seethed with anger, but in the end, he was only a live-in son-in-law. His words carried even less weight than Yunjun's.

It was all right. He was grown now and could earn money to support the family. He wouldn't let Yunjun suffer these indignities.

So he carefully prepared his business and opened its doors. Business boomed, and Yunjun would have all the bird's nest soup and snow clam he could want.

But Heaven was cruel. Just after Yunjun turned twenty, he fell gravely ill. No medicine could help, and he was gone in a flash.

After that, He Xiao's life became a daze. The Du family kicked him out, and he was left to wander the streets.

His mother heard the news and hurried in from the countryside, bringing him home in tears.

Anxin Village was just as its name suggested, with beautiful scenery and a comfortable life.

But Du Yunjun wasn't there.

On the anniversary of Du Yunjun's death, He Xiao accidentally fell into the water. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the time just after Concubine Xie had given birth to a son. Yunjun pouted and complained that his father was biased.

He smiled and said, "How about I take you back to the countryside to farm?"

The couple packed their things and left without hesitation.

Anxin Village was just as its name suggested. His Yunjun liked it, spending his days eating and drinking, and putting on quite a bit of weight.

All it took was being reborn with a Farmer System. Growing melons and vegetables could keep him safe for life. How could he pass up such a good thing?
