My Husband Is a Vicious Supporting Male Character

Zheng Shanci transmigrated into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder husband of the vicious male supporting character, Yu Lanyi. By a twist of fate, the original host married Yu Lanyi. After they moved to a small county town, Yu Lanyi constantly mocked and looked down on his husband. In the end, the husband could no longer take it and joined forces with his male confidant to kill Yu Lanyi. Now, at a banquet, Zheng Shanci has been caught alone in a room with Yu Lanyi, secretly meeting in full view of everyone. Yu Lanyi had meant to lock himself in with the male lead, but got the wrong person. Now he hides his face behind his sleeve and glares furiously at Zheng Shanci. Facing everyone's accusations, Zheng Shanci grits his teeth. "I'll marry him." Zheng Shanci's mouth turns bitter. This person is nothing but a spoiled troublemaker, a pampered legitimate son of the Hou household, arrogant and overbearing. Meanwhile, Zheng Shanci is a poor scholar who passed the imperial examinations as a third-ranked jinshi, and is about to take up a post in a county town. Having agreed to the marriage, he must wed in the capital before taking his precious flower of wealth along to the county town. Zheng Shanci: "..." Great. Life is going to be a whirlwind of prosperity and confusion. Yu Lanyi, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Changyang, is of noble status. He has his heart set on an aristocratic young man who is handsome, highborn, refined and easygoing, and wields great power. After a few encounters, he falls for the male lead. To get what he wants, he even tries to arrange for them to be caught alone together in a room at a banquet. But the wrong person is locked in with him, and for the sake of his reputation, he has no choice but to marry this poor scholar, even though he is loath to do so. Yu Lanyi: "But... he's only a third-ranked jinshi." After the wedding, he will have to move to a remote county town. He doesn't want to suffer; he wants to live well. Yu Lanyi leaves the capital in tears. On his first day in the county town, Yu Lanyi falls ill from the change in climate. On the second day, he sees how poor the town is and gets a mouthful of sand. By the third day, he has withered away. Yu Lanyi lies sick in bed, listless and weak, unable to summon any energy all day. Yet his cheap husband is full of drive and even comes to check on him. He also keeps to his proper place and doesn't share a bed with him. Yu Lanyi: "???" Later, Yu Lanyi realizes that this cheap husband isn't so bad after all. Maybe he's a hidden talent. Everyone assumes that Yu Lanyi has married into some poor backwater and that this is how his life will be from now on. They all mock him, only to end up eating their words. Infrastructure projects, building a home, farming, passing performance evaluations, managing subordinates, contending with local strongmen, and becoming the top official in the county town: Zheng Shanci finds it both painful and satisfying. Zheng Shanci calls Yu Lanyi his "Yu Beauty" and his "precious flower," all in a country bumpkin sort of way. Yu Lanyi blushes and accepts the names, no longer showing any of the ferocity he once had when chasing Zheng Shanci around to beat him. --- Coming Soon: My Husband Is Such a Spoiled Brat --- Song Changxu transmigrated into a book, becoming the fiance of the cannon-fodder Xu Zhizhou. Xu Zhizhou is the younger brother of the protagonist shou. The protagonist shou is gentle, kind, and hardworking. Xu Zhizhou, on the other hand, has only one defining trait: he's spoiled and willful. In the original story, the original host failed to pass the xiucai examinations. Unable to accept it, he squandered his family's wealth on more attempts, eventually falling into poverty and becoming addicted to alcohol. One day, he accidentally beat his husband to death. Now Song Changxu has arrived in the middle of a field, surrounded by people egging him on, while someone runs off with their back to him. "Song Changxu, hurry up and chase after Xu Zhizhou!" someone calls, getting more and more worked up. Song Changxu: "..." So here's the question: should he go after Xu Zhizhou or go after Xu Zhizhou? He's straight and homophobic. He decides to go straight home. They only got engaged yesterday, so there's still time to undo it. He tries to break off the engagement, but fails, and is left utterly despairing. That afternoon, people even block his door. Xu Zhizhou shouts at him, "Why didn't you come after me? Do you know how embarrassed you made me? Tomorrow, go to town and buy me mung bean cakes, or I'll ignore you and tell everyone you're a heartless bastard!" Both families are prominent in the village, but someone in the Xu family works at the county yamen. On top of that, the protagonist shou dotes on this younger brother, so Song Changxu has no choice but to give in. Song Changxu: "...I'll buy them." A wise man knows when to yield. He's a clever straight man. Xu Zhizhou has been spoiled since childhood and is beautiful. Naturally, someone as beautiful as him deserves to marry into a good family. But his father arranged his marriage to Song Changxu, and Xu Zhizhou is completely dissatisfied. He thinks there's no future with Song Changxu. He wants to live in town and buy whatever he wants whenever he wants. Song Changxu has nothing except his face. Throwing tantrums and rolling around on the ground don't work, so Xu Zhizhou decides he can marry Song Changxu and make him study hard. If Song Changxu treats him badly, he'll go back to his parents' home. He'll cry, make a scene, and report him, too! He'll hold court in the village so everyone can see what kind of person Song Changxu is. After he marries Song Changxu, Song Changxu must dote on him, feed him well every day, let him do no work, buy him new clothes, and let him manage the household's money. He must serve him tea, wash his clothes, massage his back, and study hard so Xu Zhizhou can become an official's husband and hold his head high in the village. Every now and then, Xu Zhizhou will cook Song Changxu a bowl of white rice. After hearing all this on their wedding night, Song Changxu: "..." Even a landlord isn't this exploitative. You might as well make me call you Master. Song Changxu hates studying. It makes his brain feel like it's growing. But in ancient times, if he doesn't study and take the imperial examinations, he'll have no control over his future, and he doesn't want that. Besides, someone is constantly keeping an eye on him from behind. Song Changxu: "..." So he has no choice but to study with all his might. It's to turn his life around, absolutely not because someone wants to live well. Xu Zhizhou hugs a jar of candied fruit. "I'll keep an eye on you forever." Theme: Sincerity is repaid with sincerity.
