[My first novel, written when I was still new at this, so please subscribe with care. Thank you for supporting the official version. Wishing you great wealth in the new year!]
Wen Xing transmigrates into the body of an unlucky man in ancient times. When he comes to, he's wearing rough hemp clothes.
The good news: He has a wife, a handsome and talented scholar famous across the region.
The bad news: His wife has just died, he's a despised live-in son-in-law, and he's kneeling in the ancestral hall.
The original Wen Xing was poor and foolish. Because he was good-looking, he was made to marry into the wealthy Liu family as a live-in son-in-law to bring good fortune to their young master. But the good fortune never came, and the young master died first.
The Liu family couldn't be bothered to look after him. They tossed him three mu of land in front of the graves and told him to keep his wife's spirit company and make do for three years.
His luck may be terrible, but life goes on. Lying beside the spirit tablet, Wen Xing starts calculating the right season for sowing.
The graveyard is filled with a gloomy, sinister atmosphere, so it's no surprise that walking around there means running into ghosts.
This month, Wen Xing has already had his twentieth “chance encounter,” and the evil spirit has even tried to climb into his bed.
“I have to go to the market tomorrow morning. Could you move over a little so I can get back before sunset?”
The young master, now a sinister spirit, solemnly nods, shuffles aside, then points to the wild ghosts waiting outside the courtyard: “Pick a few. They can help you.”
The wild ghosts stammer, “P-please give us your orders.”
Wen Xing: !
Has he gotten on the good side of some big shot?
The Liu family thinks he's too low-class, but when they happen to pass by, they find that the once-dry, stagnant water has become clear, and new shoots are sprouting from the barren soil.
Watching Wen Xing plant more and more fields, until they nearly reach the Liu family's own land, the family finally can't sit still. “Your mourning period is over. You're free to go wherever you please.”
Who knew the live-in son-in-law would look obedient on the surface, yet reply with tears in his eyes: “No. In life, I'll remain Shaoning's widower; in death, I'll be a ghost by his side. Once I joined the Liu family, I became one of you. I vow never to remarry, for the sake of my late wife.”
The Liu family: …
[Younger, beautiful seme who pretends to be mild-mannered but is secretly scheming × top who is steady and reserved in life, gloomy and powerful in death]
[Notes]
1. A sweet story about farming, the supernatural, family life, and running a business. Readers with extreme character preferences may want to steer clear.
2. The uke is a male spouse. He will die and come back to life, and there will be childbirth later on. His personality differs slightly between his living and ghostly states, but he's fundamentally the same person.
3. A beautiful younger seme, a beautiful younger seme! Neither lead is weak. They support and bring out the best in each other. My tastes will not be swayed!!!
4. The story is a slow burn. Farming won't be automated by an absurdly powerful golden finger. Some scenes are mildly frightening to serve the plot. The systems, prices, and historical periods are a blend, so don't expect strict historical accuracy.

"Three Sentences, and the Uke Lead Abandons His Wicked Disciple for Me"
[Sickly, carefree beauty seme × seemingly gentle, naturally dark-hearted senior uke]
Male lead × / younger seme / dual transmigration / cultivation / System
Wen Zeyi transmigrates into an 18+ melodramatic master-disciple novel as the junior brother of the uke lead, Lan Shanyuan.
He's a disposable side character who gets stabbed to death by the seme lead and exits the story at lightning speed.
*
Luckily, he transmigrates early, before the seme lead has become Lan Shanyuan's disciple.
Looking at his senior brother, still the leading figure of the immortal sect and not yet tormented physically and emotionally by his wicked disciple, Wen Zeyi gets an idea.
Since taking on a disciple is dangerous for everyone involved, why not let his senior brother shine on his own?
If he keeps the wicked disciple out of the mountain gate, his senior brother can ascend to immortality without distractions, and Wen Zeyi can escape the fate of being stabbed to death as one part of a sex game.
A win-win.
But as time passes, Wen Zeyi notices that Lan Shanyuan's gaze is becoming more and more strange.
It carries a repressed, hesitant longing, yet at crucial moments he suddenly becomes distant and cold.
*
The three-year deadline arrives, but Lan Shanyuan still insists on attending the fateful banquet where he'll take on a disciple.
Everything seems to be settled.
The demonic nature within Wen Zeyi has sunk deep into his bones. Before he loses consciousness, he shakily grabs Lan Shanyuan's hand and accidentally reveals his true feelings.
“If you're looking for a cultivation partner, Senior Brother, would you let me walk beside you?”
*
Wen Zeyi faints.
Naturally, he doesn't know that on that day, as torrential rain pours down, the immortal-looking man in the little house cares for him without changing clothes for seven days and nights, his eyes red-rimmed, never letting go of his hand.
The so-called Son of Heaven is left kneeling in the rain.
*
Lan Shanyuan is in a dilemma over his junior brother.
There are three reasons.
First, he transmigrated here and has a mission to complete.
Second, to complete the mission and survive, he must follow the kill-your-husband-to-prove-the-Dao route.
Third, outside of his plans, he has already fallen in love with his junior brother.
If he accepts the wicked disciple first, lets him stab him through and kill him, then confesses his feelings to his junior brother, would that count as proving his Dao by killing his former husband?
But his junior brother won't let him take a disciple. His junior brother looks so good when he smiles, and just as good when he doesn't. He doesn't want to make him sad.
Lan Shanyuan is very troubled by this.

Because my family's fertile land was taken away, I became angry and worshiped as a fairy. However, because of my miscellaneous spiritual roots, I could only sweep the mountain road to feed fat and tweet TAT. Fortunately, I have eyes and ears to listen to all directions, and I know a lot of gossip! For example, the sick beauty in our family asked the master's uncle to have an affair with the master, but Tiandao arranged for the master's uncle to be a cannon fodder that would die early, and let the master and his apprentice wallpaper fall in love with performing master's literature. How can this be unreasonable? How can that crazy dog disciple be compared with the kind-hearted and kind-hearted master... Hey, hey, hey! Leader, how could you stab your apprentice in the face and destroy your character? Do you know I discovered that the sickly Master Wen was actually extremely strong, and that the gentle and cold headmaster was a natural black man. Being suspicious of life, I listened to them cornered all night and decided to go down the mountain to ask. As a result, he was so poor that he could only earn a living by writing storybooks and buying steamed buns. Due to the need to make a living, I compiled the story of my uncle and the master into a storybook "Three Sentences, the Protagonist Abandoned His Evil Disciple for Me", which unexpectedly became a hit. The uncle who was far away in the sect said that I had revealed the secrets of him and the master, and the writing was very good. He should not write it next time, so he confiscated my script. I was broke again. Now I can't even afford buns. Dear readers, please give me a copy of "Three Sentences: The Protagonist Abandoned the Evil Disciple for Me" to help me write a best-selling storybook and save enough travel expenses to return to the sect to feed people and sweep the mountain roads. Next time, I dare to criticize the cp of the master and his junior brother!!!
