The Big Shot Was Forced to Farm and Ended Up Loving It

Jiang Liao transmigrated into another world and got himself a husband on the cheap.

His parents were dead, and he had only just come of age.

He was not only frail, but mute as well.

He had old debts to pay off, and unscrupulous relatives eyeing the few acres of his family’s farmland.

Jiang Liao was used to being on his own. For a while, he wanted to throw in the towel and leave, but then he looked at that handsome, slender face, drooping with sadness yet stubborn all the same.

He: "..."

What was the proper procedure for raising a mute?

Just feed him at mealtimes so he doesn’t starve, right?

Jiang Liao laid down the law: "Fine, we won’t divorce. But from now on, unless the sky is falling, don’t bother me."

But then...

The mute got sick. No, he needed proper nutrition.

The mute got beaten up. Outrageous! I’ll teach you to fight so you can beat them back!

The mute had lost his voice because of a high fever. The doctor said it could still be treated, but it would cost money.

Jiang Liao worked hard to build a business and earn money.

Once the mute got his voice back, his first words to Jiang Liao came out hoarse: "Wifey..."

Jiang Liao’s heart fluttered. Children grow up and stop listening to their fathers. It was time to find him a suitable match.

Jiang Liao set about making arrangements, but his husband on the cheap glared at him with red eyes, looking ready to devour him whole, then ran away.

He ran off to join the army.

Lian Changlin survived one close call after another on the battlefield. The only thought keeping him alive was the person at home whom he held dear above all else.

He thought that once things settled down, he would give the heartless man who had pushed him away a thorough scolding.

He never expected that the person he had been longing for would travel thousands of miles to find him.

Jiang Liao arrived at the northern frontier with a merchant caravan, only to be pinned down on a bed the moment he set foot there. "??... Stop! I’m here to deliver grain!"

Jiang Liao had once told Lian Changlin to treasure food, and Lian Changlin had always done as he was told. Now he held his own "food" and put those words into practice: "I won’t waste a single inch."

Blurb:

An accident sent Qin Chengyuan to another world.

Just like in ancient times, getting around without household registration was impossible. To avoid being treated as an illegal resident, he registered in Yuhe Village, clearing land and running a snack stall to make ends meet.

The hunter’s son had been said to bring bad luck and misfortune to his relatives since childhood. Rumor had it he had caused the deaths of many friends and family. Qin Chengyuan lived next door, and the villagers all advised him to keep his distance from Li Duan.

But after getting to know his neighbor, Qin Chengyuan discovered that Li Duan was a natural at hands-on work, full of energy, hardworking, and ambitious. He was a real treasure, so Qin Chengyuan asked him to help out at the stall.

Business was neither good nor bad, but Qin Chengyuan thought everything about Li Duan was wonderful. He often grinned from ear to ear without even realizing it.

Only after it was too late did he realize he had fallen for him. Then Qin Chengyuan suddenly learned that Li Duan was a ger?

And he was about to get married??

He: "...!!!"

If a ger is still unmarried by the age of twenty-one, the authorities will force him to marry.

With Li Duan’s deadline approaching, Qin Chengyuan panicked.

He hadn’t even saved up enough money yet!

Qin Chengyuan hurried to build a business and earn the betrothal gifts.

This was the first time he had ever fallen for someone, and he had no idea how to court him. Whenever he saw something nice, he sent it straight to Li Duan.

His actions set off a storm of gossip in the village.

Li Duan, at the center of it all: "..."

After waiting a few days, he could take it no longer. He split the Qin family’s front door with one palm, grabbed Qin Chengyuan by the collar, and glared at him with furious red eyes. "Are you going to marry me or not?!"
