The Village Belle Suddenly Took a Fancy to Me [Farming]

Fan Niao was the most handsome man in the village, and a famous social butterfly. He made it his mission to climb the social ladder and was determined to marry into a wealthy family.

No one knew that the village cheapskate had once saved him, and that he had secretly fallen for him because of it.

But the man was poor and timid, stingy and slovenly. People in the village often laughed at him and looked down on him.

Too proud to lose face, Fan Niao could never bring himself to confess his feelings.

Fan Niao planned to bury his little secret in his heart forever.

He was going to marry into a rich family.

The village cheapskate could never give him the life he wanted.

To achieve his goal of marrying up, Fan Niao eagerly asked a matchmaker to find him a suitable match.

One day, he suddenly felt unwell, so he called in a traveling doctor to examine him and take his pulse.

The doctor said he had a terminal illness and had less than six months to live.

Fan Niao fell apart.

He no longer wanted to suppress his feelings. That night, after drinking too much, he ran to the village cheapskate’s home.

That night, Fan Niao, with his clothes half undone, offered himself up and was thoroughly taken advantage of by the village cheapskate until dawn.

After that, Fan Niao had the village cheapskate wrapped around his little finger.

But even when his belly had grown and the baby was nearly due, he still hadn’t kicked the bucket.

Only then did Fan Niao realize!

The traveling doctor had lied to him!

With a baby on the way, Fan Niao had no choice but to settle down and live a poor life with the village cheapskate.

But after marrying the village cheapskate, the poverty he had expected never came. Their lives just kept getting better.

Content warnings:

1. The blurb is told from the receiving partner’s point of view.

2. The main tone is that the two leads spoil each other.

3. The receiving partner’s personality is clear from the blurb. He is also a scheming flirt who knows how to keep people dangling.

4. The giving partner appears to be an honest man who swallows his anger and pretends to be poor. In reality, he is incredibly strong, plays the fool to outwit his enemies, and secretly gets rich. When people bully him, he usually doesn’t retaliate openly. He prefers to stab them in the back.

5. The giving partner is first attracted to the receiving partner’s looks, then gradually grows fond of him as they get to know each other.

6. For personal reasons, I like imperfect characters. Both leads have obvious flaws.
