From Perpetual Nobody to Farming Sensation

New novel: The Farmer's Little Husband

Blurb

A goofy gong x a gentle, laid-back shou

Yue Zhiqiu, a perennially obscure entertainer, only wants to pass the public institution exam, reach the peak of success, and return to his small hometown to enjoy a laid-back retirement.

His manager can't stand watching him slack off and shoves him, an obscure nobody, onto a no-name farming variety show.

Yue Zhiqiu's eyes light up. This isn't work, this is my happy place!

Looking at the green hills and clear waters of the little village, Yue Zhiqiu's mouth watered.

Isn't this my dream retirement? Thanks to my manager, I can skip decades of detours!

Yue Zhiqiu dives headfirst into his happy place.

While the other entertainers stare gloomily at the stove they need to light, Yue Zhiqiu is already flipping food around with his spatula like a pro.

While the others are gnawing on greens, Yue Zhiqiu has already scored himself a pot of chicken stew.

He's not only busy feeding people, but also feeding pigs, dogs, and geese!

Three meals a day, and never the same thing twice!

He aims to get every single one of them plump and healthy!

The other entertainers are full of question marks. Kid, why are you so good at this???

Later, Yue Zhiqiu becomes famous, the variety show becomes a hit, the entertainment company takes off, and even the pig-feed seller becomes a sensation!
