A Stunning Little Husband Falls from the Sky

Please, lovely ladies passing by, add this to your favorites! I'm also seeking love for my upcoming historical danmei farming novel, The Husband at Home Is a Fierce One, and my modern campus romance, Back to High School to Win Over My Unrequited Love~ (Kisses ^3^)

[Ambitious, Scheming Fallen Noble He x Cool, Gentle, Refined Young Master Shou]

Synopsis:

After transmigrating into another soul overnight, Meng Jue goes from being a wealthy young master to living in a poor, remote village. His family is so destitute they can barely afford their next meal. The only thing they own that could be called an asset is a dilapidated thatched hut, the sort that might collapse in a strong wind or rainstorm.

Despite the enormous change in his circumstances, Meng Jue doesn't lose his nerve. He grabs a hoe and heads out to ask the neighbors for farming advice, such as when to sow seeds and when to weed.

Everyone in Qinghe Village thinks this young man is useless. Just look at those skinny arms and legs and that pretty, pale face. What could he possibly be good at?

But against all expectations, he quickly becomes the village's top producer, an industry leader of sorts. And thanks to his devastatingly handsome face, countless eligible men and women come knocking at his door.

Eventually, Meng Jue can't take the constant interruptions anymore, so he puts up a notice on his gate: "I'm devoted to farming and have no plans to marry. I hope you lovely folks will understand."

*

It was raining hard that day. Meng Jue sat on his earthen bed, worrying about the old house, when he faintly heard someone knocking outside.

"Who's there?"

He called out, but perhaps the patter of rain drowned out his voice. No one answered.

Meng Jue had no choice but to roll up his trouser legs, rub his aching arms, and hurry out to open the gate.

As soon as he opened it, someone stood right in front of him. The man had deliberately lowered the brim of his umbrella, so Meng Jue couldn't see his face.

After a moment's thought, Meng Jue tilted his head and held a blade of grass between his lips. "Hey, handsome, who are you?"

Xu Yanqing bowed to him. "Might you be Meng Jue, the eldest young master of the Meng family?"

"Oh. If you hadn't said that, I'd have forgotten I even had a family."

Hearing the other man's assumed voice, Xu Yanqing gave a relieved laugh and slowly moved his umbrella aside. "I'm Xu Yanqing. I've come to marry you."

Upcoming Novel Synopsis:

'Farming + Business + Childbirth + HE'

[Tall, Powerful, Protective, Cocky He & Shy, Sheltered Shou from a Fallen Family]

First Draft:

Zhuang Huai, the second son of the Zhuang family, was bold enough to curse at a butcher when he was ten and strong enough to pull a green tree out of the ground when he was fourteen. In everyone else's eyes, he was the very picture of a spoiled young master, infamous for his arrogance across the surrounding villages. Even when he reached marrying age, no matchmaker dared take on the task of finding a bride for the Second Young Master Zhuang.

Zhuang Huai didn't care. "Life is good, and being single is even better."

*

One noon, Zhuang Huai was feeding fish in the pond at home when a commotion outside caught his attention. He put down the fish food and went out to take a look.

A wedding procession had arrived in the street. After asking around, he learned that they were on their way back.

"The wedding was called off halfway there? This bride is just too..."

Before he could finish, a pale, slender hand suddenly reached out from inside the palanquin. It was pretty, all right, but that was obviously a man's hand.

Zhuang Huai was instantly intrigued, but then the man inside met his eyes.

Lin Jing's fingertips trembled as he slowly lifted his veil. His movements still held something of the refined dignity of the noble young master he had once been, but his eyes and brows were full of sorrow.

In an instant, warm sunlight spilled in and surrounded him. He was a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.

"Wait, someone that beautiful got rejected?"

Where was the justice? Where was the law?!

The man seemed to be looking at him too, so Zhuang Huai slipped against the crowd and went to speak to him.

"You..."

Zhuang Huai clasped his hands in greeting. "I am Zhuang Huai of the Zhuang family in Pingyang. I'd like to make your acquaintance."

"Lin Jing, from Chuzhou."

*

The two of them became friends after meeting a few times. One day, they met in a pavilion for a long talk, and Zhuang Huai finally asked a question he'd been curious about for ages.

"Why was your wedding called off the day we first met?"

"Our families arranged the marriage for business reasons. We had no feelings for each other. Just before the wedding, my family suffered a sudden setback and lost its wealth and influence. They had misgivings, so the marriage was canceled."

"That's outrageous!" Zhuang Huai slapped the table angrily. "You should marry someone you love. When there's a real bond between you, you won't abandon them so easily."

With that, Zhuang Huai suddenly leaned closer. A faint, alluring fragrance drifted through the air.

"I liked you from the moment I first saw you. Do you like me even a little?"

"People around here may think badly of me, but I'll treat my husband well. Could you... give me a chance this time?"

Lin Jing froze. Then, after making up his mind, he closed his eyes and pressed his lips briefly to Zhuang Huai's.

"What a coincidence. I liked you from the moment I first saw you, too."

Theme: It just so happens that you like me too
