After the Sickly Beauty Marries a Rugged Man

An Ren was reborn. In his previous life, his biological parents despised him, while their fake son made life difficult for him at every turn. His adoptive mother worked herself sick, and he died in a car accident. In this life, An Ren has come to terms with everything. He'll inherit his adoptive mother's two barren mountains and several acres of wasteland, and start enjoying retirement early.

His adoptive mother is bedridden and can't afford treatment, while their relatives avoid them for fear of getting involved. The only way to get money for emergencies is for him to become the bride of the rough-around-the-edges Fu Changming in an arranged marriage.

An Ren is frail and sickly. After they marry, he sets to work clearing the land, cultivating the hillsides, and planting trees, fruit, and crops, while his rugged husband only lets him stay nearby and give directions.

An Ren doesn't want Fu Changming to work too hard, so he comes up with a way to support the family by livestreaming their farming.

At first, hardly anyone watches. Then one day, he accidentally shows his face, causing a small stir online with his good looks, and he goes viral:

[Is this staged? Are you really farming?]

[There are tons of people pretending to be poor and selling sob stories these days. His skin is so fair and soft, even better than mine, and I live in the city. It's obviously scripted! It's all fake!]

His skin is so fair and soft?

An Ren: He'd nearly forgotten that Fu Changming goes up the mountain every day to dig up Chinese medicinal herbs to help improve his health, then mixes them into rice-washing water for An Ren to wash his hands and face.

The viewers who doubted him show up every day to watch his livestreams, boosting his popularity instead.

[Streamer, please share your skincare secrets!]

[Streamer, are you selling anything? I'm craving healthy, organic food!]

[Streamer, how did you make that natural fishpond? Teach me! My husband loves raising fish.]

An Ren: ...All that technical stuff was done by my wonderful husband at home. orz

Some people say they won't be able to keep farming and that the whole thing is just a show.

But a year passes, the vegetables and fruit rotate with the seasons, An Ren's family grows more prosperous, and their livestream sales earn countless rave reviews!

[Your fruit is so sweet, fresh, juicy, cheap, and organic. You should charge more, or you'll lose money!]

[Your husband really loves you! To everyone who said he was just playing the part of a good husband: look who's been proven wrong!]

As their family prospers and they produce more and more goods, their farm products take the internet by storm. Multiple food variety shows and advertising brands beg to work with him, pleading for a chance to feature their products!

An Ren: I was just farming to support my family. How did I go viral?

As he becomes famous, his awful relatives beg him for help. Even his biological parents show up and ask him to return to the family. An Ren: "No thanks. I have a home."

Fans: Breaking news! The farming streamer who worked his way up with his own hands is actually the young master of the wealthy Gu family! And he refuses to go home!

That night, his rugged husband, who usually hides his face, starts a livestream to set the record straight. "The Gu family wronged him first. My wife is frail and sickly, so please be kind in the comments."

For some reason, all the Gu family's scandals are exposed, and the Gu Group's stock price keeps falling until the company is on the verge of bankruptcy!

That night, An Ren is pinned to the bed by Fu Changming. With a dark look, he teases him, "Wife, I've been nourishing you with my yang energy every day. You should be better by now. I can't hold back tonight."

An Ren: What kind of husband is a mountain god?!

But just a few months later, An Ren's belly grows bigger by the day. At night, his rugged husband kneels in front of him and begs, "Wife, I was wrong. Don't hurt yourself or the baby."

An Ren: Forget the mountain god, is the baby going to be a little mountain?!
