The Beautiful Young Husband Was Fooled by His Top

Looking for a new story to follow? "Everyday Life Under My Beautiful Little Husband's Thumb" is previewed at the very end.

Story blurb:

Gong: A taciturn old flirt who becomes a devoted dad later on.

Shou: A loud, pretty boy with a secret weakness for good-looking people.

In his previous life, Su Cheng was a rich second-generation layabout. Then the apocalypse arrived and turned him into the second-in-command at a survivor base.

After dying in an accident, he was reborn in another world.

Eighteen years later, just after regaining his memories, Su Cheng thought, "I was a simp?" No way. He absolutely wasn't doing that.

Su Cheng approached Li Xiaoxiao, whom he'd openly loved since childhood, and told him he wanted to break off their engagement.

He didn't expect to nearly make Li Xiaoxiao cry, or to earn the title of bastard.

He remembered how he'd teamed up with his friends to extort Li Xiaoxiao into agreeing to the engagement. In the end, Li Xiaoxiao had been forced to become engaged to him... Oh, right, Su Cheng was a thug, the kind who collected protection money for a living.

He didn't break off the engagement, and the whole thing left Su Cheng feeling awful.

That simping spirit really did live on forever.

Su Cheng decided to turn over a new leaf and be a decent person.

The first step was to end the marriage he'd forced on Li Xiaoxiao. The second, naturally, was to get an honest job and become a law-abiding citizen.

Who knew that after working and earning money, his first instinct would be to buy food for Li Xiaoxiao?

Somebody help! This hand needs to go. It won't listen to me!

Li Xiaoxiao looked down at him haughtily.

This bastard was so annoying. He'd said all those things, then turned around and tried to placate him.

Did he think Li Xiaoxiao was that easy to appease?

Reader's Guide:

Both are each other's first love. A pregnancy story featuring a male wife. The protagonist eventually becomes an official, but there are no political power struggles. No awful characters. A farming story with the gong as the protagonist.

This is a fictional world, so don't nitpick the details. Prices in the book are set a little high, several times higher than prices and wages in ancient China.

Everyone in Lushui Village thought Shen Xing had a pretty, seductive face and was useless, unable to carry or lift anything.

Wei Bei only wanted to coast through life, but this spoiled brat came at him with red eyes, pretending to be hurt, and forced him to work for free.

So he cleared the wasteland, repaired the roof, and even braved the blazing sun to travel miles to buy the sugar cakes Shen Xing wanted from the east side of town.

Shen Xing thought he'd successfully gotten the village's fiercest bully wrapped around his little finger.

Until one day, he said to Wei Bei as if it were only natural, "Wei Bei, when I get married, you have to come along and keep working for my husband's family."

Wei Bei crushed the bamboo basket in his hands. He thought this fool was getting more and more demanding, greedy beyond reason.

To hell with that.

Wei Bei's gaze turned fierce. He pinned the clueless brat onto a haystack. "You want me to serve your husband?"

Shen Xing was so frightened that he leaned his neck back, yet still muttered softly, "W-Well, what else? You bullied me, so you have to do what I say..."

Wei Bei laughed in fury and finally had enough.

[Little Extra 1]

The former fiance who had broken off the engagement passed the provincial examination and became famous.

Because of that broken engagement, Shen Xing became the village's laughingstock.

He hid alone by the river, his eyes red with anger.

When he heard footsteps behind him, he stubbornly straightened his back, afraid someone would look down on him.

Wei Bei leaned against a tree, a blade of foxtail grass between his teeth as he watched him.

Wei Bei thought, What a vain, spoiled brat.

He hated vain, dramatic fools who had no sense of what was going on.

But he still walked over with a grim expression and slipped him a packet of warm chestnuts. "That's enough. Stop putting on a brave face. I'll take you to the county tomorrow for your favorite little wontons."

[Little Extra 2]

Wei Bei bought a hundred mu of good farmland at the eastern end of the village.

Looking at the land deed, Shen Xing felt bad about the money. "Why buy so much land? If you have money to spare, you should buy a few books in the county."

Wei Bei gave a cold laugh. Back when Shen Xing spent money on Qin Ziliang, he hadn't hesitated. But when it came to Wei Bei, suddenly he worried about the cost.

Wei Bei shoved an abacus into his arms. "What makes you think I'm cut out for studying? I'll buy more land and build more houses, so you'll be busy counting money every day instead of nagging me to take the scholar exams."

Holding the abacus, Shen Xing flushed bright red and protested softly, "You... You're talking nonsense! I only worry that other people will look down on you!"

[The Future]

Work from sunrise to sunset.

Grain in the storeroom, a loved one in your arms.
