The Married Life of a Couple Joined by an Arranged Marriage

Coming soon: Fluffy Beasts. The blurb is at the end. If you’re interested, feel free to add it to your collection!

Blurb: Twenty-two-year-old Jiang Ning got married. The arranged-marriage kind.

Although Jiang Ning’s family situation was a little complicated, there was no denying that he’d been doted on by his family ever since he was little. So when his family ran into trouble and the Fu family came to propose an arranged marriage, specifically asking for him, Jiang Ning agreed without hesitation.

The Fu family needed a wedding to bring good fortune, so the two, who had no feelings for each other and had never even met, got their marriage certificate after just three days.

As luck would have it, his husband was so busy with work that he didn’t come home for a month, starting the day after the wedding. Jiang Ning couldn’t have been more pleased.

A rich husband who never came home, leaving him free to have fun. What a wonderful life.

Then one day, Jiang Ning suddenly awakened to the truth.

The world he lived in was actually just a novel, and his husband, Fu Yichen, was the male lead. And he, the legally wedded wife with a marriage certificate, was nothing but a disposable extra.

Fu Yichen had always loved his childhood friend, his white moonlight, but for his own reasons, he never dared to confess. He could only watch helplessly as his beloved left the country.

Later, after a series of events, Fu Yichen and his white moonlight confessed their feelings to each other, opened their hearts, and lived happily ever after.

As for his disposable ex-wife, he refused to step aside meekly and foolishly targeted the white moonlight. Fu Yichen showed no mercy and ruined his reputation completely.

Jiang Ning: ???

Excuse me?

What kind of weirdo came up with this melodramatic plot?

He didn’t love Fu Yichen, so why would he cling to the title of Mrs. Fu? Was Fu Yichen some kind of irresistible delicacy?

If it weren’t for helping the Jiang family through their crisis, he wouldn’t have bothered with Fu Yichen at all, okay?

Expecting him to follow the plot and help the main couple fall in love, only to ruin his own reputation in the process? Not a chance. Not even a window would be open.

And Fu Yichen, after finally finishing the work he had on hand, came back to his new home. On his first night there, his new wife brained him with a club.

Fu Yichen: Is this the obedient, sensible good kid his mother praised to the skies?

Good kid Jiang Ning blinked innocently, his eyes filled with alarm and concern.

Damn, why is he kind of cute?

But because of that blow to the head, Fu Yichen discovered that Jiang Ning didn’t mean what he said. At certain times, he could hear Jiang Ning’s thoughts.

For example, one day, when he had to fly abroad on a business trip, Jiang Ning packed his luggage and reminded him with a concerned expression, “I’ve packed all your personal items. Take good care of yourself while you’re abroad, and come back soon. I’ll miss you.”

Meanwhile, in his head, Jiang Ning was cheering: Yeah! Yeah! Finally got him out of here. Don’t come back too soon!

Fu Yichen sneered. “You want me back soon?”

Jiang Ning nodded eagerly.

Fu Yichen gritted his teeth. “Little liar.”

Jiang Ning: ??? What does that mean? Why are you calling me names?

Fu Yichen: I mean you.

[Little Scenes from Daily Life]

About the white moonlight

One day, when Fu Yichen got a call from his white moonlight, Jiang Ning sat up straight and pretended not to care, while perking up his ears to listen.

As he listened, he marveled: The white moonlight! The one who’s like a cinnabar mole and the blood of his heart!

Fu Yichen stiffened. His little wife had a white moonlight of his own? And what was that about a cinnabar mole and the blood of his heart? He really needed to be taught a lesson.

So Fu Yichen put Jiang Ning in all sorts of positions and had himself a big feast.

White moonlight: So I’m just one part of you two’s bedroom roleplay?

Coming soon: Fluffy Beasts

It took Shu Yu two years to finally get his career off the ground. Starting from nothing, he became a countryside lifestyle blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers.

But before he could make his mark, he transmigrated while riding his beloved little scooter to pick up a parcel.

When other people transmigrated, they became princes or noblemen, or at least the legitimate sons of noble households. At worst, they were poor scholars who could pursue an official career and climb step by step to the pinnacle of success.

As for him, well, he opened his eyes in primitive society, where a ten-meter-long python was coiled around an animal bigger than a water buffalo, one that looked a bit like an antelope, slowly tightening its grip.

Shu Yu was dumbfounded. Was he really going to die before he’d even begun?

Luckily, at this critical moment, someone came out of nowhere. Uh, a primitive man. He fought the giant python with his bare hands, wrestling with it, and eventually tore it into several pieces with his own hands.

That’s right, with his bare hands!

Shu Yu: !!!

They say primitive men eat people. Should he run? Run? Or run?

While Shu Yu worried he was about to lose his life, the “primitive man” took him back to his cave. He not only gave him a place to stay, but also provided him with food. In return, and to show his gratitude, Shu Yu started making all sorts of delicious meals to improve their lives.

After they had lived together in peace for a while, Shu Yu was out gathering ingredients when he stumbled across a child about four or five years old. Right in front of him, the child transformed into a small tiger with wings.

Shu Yu: !!!

Was this actually a beastman continent where people could turn into beasts?

Shu Yu’s eyes lit up as he looked at the “primitive man.” If the little one could transform into a little beast, could the big primitive man turn into a big beast, too?

But the “primitive man,” who usually watched him silently, avoided his gaze for once.

There was definitely something going on!

Mo Ye was a beastman, but not a normal one. When he was born, his beast form was completely white. The tribe’s shaman declared that he was a cursed sinner, cursed by the Beast God, but he was allowed to stay because his father was the tribe’s chief.

Beastmen could transform between human and beast forms from birth. But even at ten years old, Mo Ye could only take his beast form. Beastmen who still could not transform into human form after turning ten would gradually lose their reason and become actual beasts.

That year, the snow season was colder than ever. Many beastmen and beastfolk in the tribe froze to death. Some beastmen said it was all because of him. He had been cursed by the Beast God, and the tribe was being punished for taking him in.

To keep his fathers from being put in a difficult position, he left the tribe on his own during a snowy night.

He thought he would gradually lose his reason and become like a beast. But in the second year of living alone, he transformed. Afterward, he had no white fur at all, just like any ordinary beastman, and his body was filled with boundless strength.

Mo Ye had grown used to living alone. Even after he learned to transform, he never thought of returning to the tribe. He simply spent one rainy season and snow season after another by himself.

Then one day, he found a beastfolk lost in the jungle. Everything changed. He wanted to keep this beastfolk named Shu Yu by his side forever. Forever!

But the tribe’s talk of him being a “cursed sinner” still affected him. He was afraid Shu Yu would be scared of him and leave after seeing his beast form. So whenever he was with Shu Yu, he always stayed in his human form.

Until the day Shu Yu brought home a little beastman. He knew the peaceful life he had longed for had been broken.
