Zuo Li transmigrated into a power-fantasy novel with an absurdly overpowered golden finger, where the protagonist bottom had the luck of a koi fish and the protagonist top came from the apocalypse with a spatial ability. It was a classic leveling-up story.
He became the useless pretty-boy live-in son-in-law in the comparison group, who couldn't even truss a chicken.
He looked down on his husband for being a disfigured, lame butcher, and joined his own ruffian family in bleeding him dry. Then he climbed the social ladder, divorced his husband to marry someone else, kicked him aside, and even tried to have him killed, only to be killed himself in a last-ditch reversal.
Zuo Li: Good riddance!
But now he'd become that very man, and from the start he was faced with his husband having fallen down a mountain, broken his leg, and developed a high fever, while the family had only three copper coins left.
Fortunately, he was a golden finger himself.
That's right, Zuo Li was a human super-learning System from Planet 8831 in the future interstellar era. He could bind himself to task targets at will, issue missions, and earn rewards.
Soon, the protagonist top and bottom both heard an emotionless, mechanical voice in their minds:
"Exchange a box of fever medicine for a set of lightness skills. Do you wish to exchange?"
"Exchange a wild ginseng root for a cooking skill. Do you wish to exchange?"
Protagonist top and bottom: There's a deal like that? My golden finger is way too powerful!
Later, even the current chancellor, who had been framed and was about to have his entire household confiscated and be exiled, received help from the System.
"Exchange one thousand taels of silver for several wilderness survival skills. Do you wish to exchange?"
"Exchange, exchange! Hurry up and exchange! Damn it, I can finally save my own skin."
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was investigating a major serial murder case. If he couldn't find the real culprit within three days, he would be dismissed and punished.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Exchange a treasured calligraphy painting for the ability to solve criminal cases. Do you wish to exchange?"
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review: What the hell is this? Get lost and stop interfering with my work!
On the third day, he gritted his teeth and answered the voice. In less than half an hour, inspiration struck as if the gods themselves were helping him. He connected all the clues, painstakingly pieced the case together, found the real culprit, and rushed to arrest him in the act, saving several young masters and ladies from prominent families.
"Great System, are you still there? Please save me, great one, sob sob!"
Later, the unhappily married top scholar, the tyrant unable to control his murderous temper, and the empress dowager unwilling to die without a fight... all heard the voice in their minds.
That day, all the important people in the An Kingdom, great and small, gathered on Mount Jingyuan in the outskirts of the capital. They made a reverent pilgrimage, prostrating themselves every three steps, hoping to invite a great scholar out of retirement.
Zuo Li: I just want to stay with my husband and farm.

Bottom's perspective:
Born in the poor mountains, Luo Yuan realized from a young age that he was cold-hearted. Making money and doing business were the only things that brought him a little joy.
Because of his parents' last wish, he took in a live-in son-in-law, only to bring himself enormous trouble.
Just as he was trying to figure out how to drive the parasite away, one day the parasite suddenly became a different person.
He stopped ordering Luo Yuan around and taking everything from him. He even scared off his awful relatives and cut ties with them completely. He became gentle and considerate, tending to Luo Yuan's daily needs, buying him all kinds of bright and beautiful clothes, and handing over every penny he earned.
After their grievances had been settled, just as Luo Yuan planned to divorce him and devote himself to making money,
a voice suddenly appeared in his mind:
"Ding! I am the Loving Couple System. Have a little chat with your poor, neglected husband and you'll get one thousand taels of silver."
"Give him a kiss and you'll get a famous painting worth ten thousand gold."
Luo Yuan: ...I'm in!

1. The top is a superhuman System with his own thoughts and emotions, essentially an artificial human.
2. The original and the bottom never had a sexual relationship. The top and bottom are each other's one and only, both are strong, they dote on each other, and this is a male-pregnancy story.
3. Some of the top's task targets become friends and benefactors of the couple, while others are enemies and villains. The plot ties all of them to the couple. The golden finger doesn't get much page time and isn't too overpowered.
4. Lighthearted daily life, mainly farming, running a business, and building wealth at a steady pace, with the occasional bit of gossip.
