Synopsis:

Optimistic lucky carp top x long-suffering bottom with a built-in bad-luck bug

Tao Xiangwan woke up to find himself transmigrated into a poor scholar, and not just any poor scholar. His copied books had been burned, his firewood stolen, and in the end he had starved to death because he was too poor. He was a genuinely unlucky fellow.

Rubbing his stomach, hollow with hunger, Tao Xiangwan, a lucky carp whose luck had always been outstanding, seriously considered his chances of making it through the night.

But the moment he stepped outside, he collided with Liu Jing, a village ger.

Tao Xiangwan, the lucky carp: Are you trying to scam me?

Looking at Liu Jing, who had fainted on the ground from hunger and looked utterly pitiful, Tao Xiangwan was about to throw him out, but his heart softened.

Tao Xiangwan, the lucky carp who likes a pretty face: I can kick him out after I've fed him, right?

So he rolled up his sleeves to catch rabbits, gathered fruit to brew wine, and even used his good luck to clear a small plot of land in the mountains, making all sorts of delicious food for Liu Jing.

And as he kept feeding him, he ended up making him his little husband.

One night, Tao Xiangwan gently muffled the other's sobs and coaxed him:

"Your husband will feed Jingbao, hmm?"

Everyone in Shaoyao Village said that Liu Jing, the village ger, was unlucky and would bring disaster to his parents. One day, they said, his bad luck would kill him, too.

Only Liu Jing knew there was no such thing as bringing disaster. It was just an excuse his parents had used to abandon him.

Later, when the villagers saw Tao Xiangwan and Liu Jing living together, they all whispered,

Two unlucky people living together. Their bad luck is bound to multiply.

Who could have known that by the following spring, the two were living better and better? They not only opened the village's first snack shop, but also opened a shop in town after saving a shopkeeper there.

They were practically blessed with unbelievable luck!

The villagers changed their tune, praising Tao Xiangwan's lucky-carp fortune and competing to push their unmarried daughters into his arms.

Tao Xiangwan pulled Liu Jing close and declared possessively: My husband! All of you, get lost!

The villagers were green with envy and regret, wishing they had sucked up to this mild-mannered man sooner.

Only Liu Jing knew that every night, the mild-mannered man the villagers talked about turned into a big bad wolf, and no matter how much he fed him, he was never full!

Liu Jing clutched his aching waist and muttered, "Just what kind of beast is he?"

A sweet, slice-of-life story.

Reader's note:

1. Please don't offer unsolicited writing advice.

2. No unreasonable relatives, and Shaoyao Village is a friendly place. Heart!

3. The top and bottom are mutually devoted; the setting serves the story.

Upcoming work: Picking Up a Jealous Bunny Husband

Rough and wild on the surface but gentle and considerate hunter top x soft, sweet, jealous bunny bottom

Chu Mutian was driven out of his home by his own father and stepmother when he was little, and survived through hardship by gathering fruit. Later, he became a skilled hunter and supported himself by hunting.

One day, while hunting in the mountains, he found a little white rabbit that was so hungry it was about to faint.

The little rabbit was a cute ball of fluffy fur. Even Chu Mutian, who was usually rough and aloof, was charmed by it and took it home.

He fed it dewy carrots and cabbage he had gathered, but the little white rabbit seemed to prefer clinging to him and rarely ate anything else.

Fortunately, the little rabbit gradually grew plump and became even softer to the touch.

And it seemed to want to repay Chu Mutian for his kindness. It would angrily chase off other animals that came too close to him, and help him find his prey.

Later, the little white rabbit even angrily chased off the matchmakers who came to arrange a marriage for him.

It was almost as if... it was jealous.

Watching the little rabbit turn away in a huff and show him its round bottom, Chu Mutian seriously considered whether the rabbit had become a spirit.

That very night, the little white rabbit, still upset with him, turned into a young man with no clothes on and lay in his arms.

Chu Mutian looked at the sleepy young man in his arms and smiled as he leaned toward him.

Just how should he eat up his soft, fluffy little bunny?

*

An Lin was a little rabbit spirit. After nearly a hundred years of cultivation, he still hadn't taken human form. Then a deer spirit from the mountain stole his food, leaving him to faint from hunger on the mountain path.

He thought another demon would eat him, but when he woke up, he found that a handsome man had taken him home.

The man didn't smile much, but he was always kind to An Lin.

He would hold him and gently stroke his fur, and chase away the other animals that came to steal his food.

Most importantly, the man's spiritual energy seemed even tastier than sweet carrots!

What delicious food!

But then other demons who hadn't taken human form seemed to discover this food, too, and fought to squeeze into the man's home.

An Lin bristled: This man is mine!

After driving away all the bewitching demons who hadn't taken human form, a matchmaker for a wealthy young woman in the village came to the door, hoping to arrange for the man to become her husband.

Furious, An Lin tearfully threw himself into the man's arms, eyes full of tears as he declared his claim: My food!

That very night, as soon as he took human form, the man thoroughly devoured him.

Rubbing his sore waist, An Lin fell into deep thought: In the end, which one of us is whose food?

A sweet little story about everyday family life, warm and cozy.

Theme: Work hard in the fields and live a happy life!
