After seven years in the apocalypse, Li Jingxing blew himself up during a battle against the research institute behind the zombie outbreak.
But he didn't die. He ended up in ancient times, where a fierce young man saved him.
The young man was barely grown, but an excellent doctor. He could head into the mountains to prepare medicinal herbs or work the fields.
Even while raising a younger brother and sister on his own, he had no trouble earning enough to support the family.
His reputation, however, was awful. People said he had brought misfortune on his father, mother, aunt, and uncle.
He was also hot-tempered. Anyone who dared gossip about him behind his back could expect him to fling a packet of medicine at them and make them feel even worse.
As the young man approached the age for an arranged marriage, with local thugs eyeing his property, he steeled himself and decided to buy a live-in son-in-law.
Li Jingxing immediately climbed out of bed and stopped him. "How about me?"
They hit it off and married.
Every day, they worked from sunrise to sunset. Li Jingxing farmed to support the family, while Xie Lanxi went out to treat patients. The two children played and laughed, and life was carefree.
But their peaceful days were soon shattered by a lawsuit. From a few scattered clues, the top realized that the world he'd come to was actually a book, and his husband was a villainous side character, a stepping-stone on the protagonists' path to love!
His husband was a brilliant physician who devoted himself to helping others. How could he possibly compare to that fake protagonist bottom, who was clearly nothing like him?
The protagonist bottom awakened at a garden party hosted by his mother.
A System appeared in his mind and told him he wasn't the Marquis's biological child. In three years, the Marquis's real child would arrive in the capital and expose his identity.
After that, he would be sent to a manor outside the capital and then tricked by the Marquis's real child into marrying a servant.
His life would end amid a miserable tangle of trivial troubles.
Seeing how wretched his life would be in old age, the protagonist bottom almost immediately agreed to the System's deal.
He couldn't stand the thought of living in such a run-down place!
He would take that person's place and make sure they could never return to the capital!
