After a Fierce Young Man Married Me to Chase Away Bad Luck

[Heir to the throne, devoted and affectionate pursuer × beautiful, cool on the outside and warm within, exceptionally strong receiving partner] Yue Ming is so beautiful that no one in the village can compare, but his extraordinary strength and fearsome reputation mean no one dares marry him, even at eighteen. With an arranged marriage looming, Yue Ming is even thinking of buying a husband from the matchmakers when he hears that the poor scholar in the village is seriously ill and needs someone to marry him for good luck. What a lucky break! Yue Ming offers himself for the role. Ning Chengfeng was once a teenage prodigy and a winner in life, but then he transmigrated into the body of a poor scholar who became famous at eight, still hadn’t passed the county-level exams at eighteen, and was so impoverished his family could barely afford food. Ning Chengfeng: What kind of hell mode is this? The very day Ning Chengfeng wakes up, he’s married off to bring good luck. His new spouse is a “burly man” who can both butcher pigs and hunt. At first, he refuses: This wretched feudal tradition! Then he changes his tune: My wife is just too adorable! Yue Ming has never been like other young men. Other young men: embroidery, cooking, acting cute… Yue Ming: hunting, butchering pigs, beating people… Yue Ming is orphaned at fourteen. To support himself, he learns to hunt and butcher pigs, and to protect his younger brother, he takes a long knife to the village thugs and cripples them. Later, after marrying Ning Chengfeng, he learns that no matter how skilled you are at fighting, or how good you are at butchering pigs and chasing off wolves, someone can still cherish you and want to protect you. The couple farm, grow mushrooms, and work hard to save money with their family. The Ning family, once utterly destitute, eventually becomes the envy of everyone around them. [Reading notes] 1. One-on-one romance, both characters’ first relationship, happy ending. 2. The setting is entirely fictional. Please don’t nitpick the details. 3. Plenty of everyday life, with children later on. 4. The receiving partner initially considers buying a husband from the matchmakers. This is wrong. The story is set in a feudal society, and we can’t judge it by modern values, but this is still unacceptable behavior and must not be imitated. (The receiving partner doesn’t keep butchering pigs forever, because his business isn’t doing very well…) ★Coming soon: The Favored Abandoned Husband★ [Powerful, doting pursuer × sweet, pitiable receiving partner] Huo Xun transmigrates from the post-apocalyptic world to another world, where he unexpectedly survives and gets himself a husband for free. On their wedding day, his new husband wears a bridal gown and pretends to be a woman, but the Adam’s apple on his neck and his hoarse, cracking voice give him away. After the wedding, his new husband clumsily keeps up the act every day, afraid Huo Xun will send him away. He works especially hard, but Huo Xun knows he’s only doing it because he has no choice and doesn’t expose him. The dry little bean sprout who arrived at his home becomes more and more radiant under Huo Xun’s care. Huo Xun plans to let him go once the time is right, but he never expects that caring for someone can become addictive. He can no longer bear to let him go. * Qi’s mother dies young, and his father only has eyes for the daughter he had with his second wife. Sickly Qi Fu is the most unwanted member of the family. The son-in-law his father had chosen for his daughter fails the imperial exams. To help his daughter marry into a powerful family, Qi’s father forces his son to dress as a woman and marry in her place. That is how Qi Fu becomes Huo Xun’s husband. Qi Fu has heard that Huo Xun has long been in love with his stepsister and once swore he would never marry anyone else. He assumes he’ll have a miserable time in the Huo household. Instead, Huo Xun makes sure he’s well fed and well cared for, and goes to great lengths to cure his illness. Even after placing first in all three imperial examinations and rising to the highest ranks of government, Huo Xun remains just as devoted to him. Huo Xun had promised to help him find a wife, so why won’t he let him marry one now? Why does he get worked up whenever Qi Fu brings it up? ★Coming soon: The Little Chubby Bird’s Farming Life in the Beast World★ [Sunny bird receiving partner × tiger husband who dotes on his mate] After graduating from university, Bai Yuan takes a teaching job in a mountain village, but dies while saving someone. When he wakes again, he’s a bird egg. The Bird Tribe is dwindling. With wolves ahead and tigers behind, the weak little birdfolk huddle together, trembling as they struggle to survive. The tribe members can barely get enough to eat, and the little birds are always hungry. Newly hatched Bai Yuan takes on the burden of providing for them all. Bai Yuan leads his people in farming and raising chickens, builds up the tribe, and even gets on the good side of the neighboring Tiger Tribe… Theme: Keep striving to live well even when life gets tough.
