Blurb: After Cheng Su dies, he transmigrates into a book as a ten-year-old boy from a landlord's family, with a child bridegroom five years older than him.

With his father and eight older sisters doting on him, and as the only boy in the family, even with a husband already picked out for him, Cheng Su thinks he can finally spend this life lying flat without having to work a 996 schedule.

But before long, disaster strikes the Cheng family, leaving them penniless overnight with only a few dozen mu of wasteland. Seeing his father past fifty, a string of frail concubines, and his husband, whose looks are almost too striking, Cheng Su has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family.

At first, he only farms, takes the imperial examinations, and supports his family. Then, before he knows it, he becomes tutor to the crown prince and a teacher to the emperor.

Cheng, the family patriarch, lost his first wife young. He married one concubine after another, but all of them bore daughters. With no one to inherit his huge estate, he was so worried his hair was nearly falling out. Eventually, a fortune-teller came up with a plan: find a child bridegroom for his son and raise him in the household.

Lin Xuan is a ge'er. His family is poor and has too many children, so when his parents hear about the offer, they send him to the Cheng family that very night to be sold.

A year later, the young master is born. Lin Xuan thinks his good days are over, but the Cheng family doesn't send him away.

The young master grows up, becoming more and more handsome. As he approaches the age for an arranged marriage, Lin Xuan feels a little dejected. After all, he's much older than the young master and doesn't deserve him. Once the young master is betrothed, there will be no place for Lin Xuan in the household anymore.

But Lin Xuan waits and waits, only to discover that the young master's betrothed is him.

Pre-order: Has This Husband Divorced Me Yet?

Blurb:

Lin Yuanzhou transmigrates into the youngest son of a farming family. His parents spoil him, his siblings can't stand him, and he's a notorious local scoundrel.

His father worries that no one will look after him in the future, so he grits his teeth and tries to arrange a match. Every proposal ends in rejection, and no one in the surrounding villages dares to marry him.

With no other choice, his father turns his attention to Lu Wan, a quiet ge'er from the neighboring village who has returned to his parents' home after a divorce.

People say this husband can lift a massive cauldron, is fierce, and brings bad luck to his spouse. No one dares marry him.

Looking at the slender Lu Wan standing before him with his eyes lowered and saying nothing, Lin Yuanzhou remembers the rumors that he once single-handedly knocked down a hulking thug who picked a fight, and falls silent.

This is the man who can lift a massive cauldron? This is the fierce man who brings bad luck to his spouse?

Later, the villagers notice that the famously lazy Lin Yuanzhou has started getting up early to study.

Later still, when the provincial examination results are announced, Lin Yuanzhou's name is right there on the list.

Looking at the bundle Lu Wan hands him, Lin Yuanzhou's eyelid twitches. "Wanwan, what's this...?"

Lu Wan lowers his eyes, his voice calm. "Silver and provisions. The journey is long. Don't neglect yourself. If you pass the examination one day..."

"If I pass, then what?"

"If you find a good match, all you need to do is give me a divorce letter."

Lin Yuanzhou laughs in disbelief, pulls him into his arms, and grits his teeth. "Divorce? Don't even think about it! You're the only good match I'll ever have in this life!"
