Becoming the Vicious Husband of a Scholar’s Family

My new novel, "I Became the Cannon-Fodder Husband of a Villain," is now out!

[Thanks to my friend Yan Hui Xizhou for the cover. It's so cute!]

Ye Li transmigrates to the Great Xia dynasty and becomes a lazy, gluttonous husband everyone despises.

The Jiang family is dirt poor. His husband, Jiang Ji, is studying in the county town, leaving only Ye Li and the two tagalongs, Jiang Mai and Jiang Ya, at home. When Ye Li transmigrates, the original owner has just been caught by the village head while trying to trick Jiang Ya into going to the county town to be sold.

Ye Li: "..."

He gives Jiang Ya's little head an awkward pat. "I was planning to take Ya-ge'er to the county town to buy some tasty food."

Naturally, no one believes him. To avoid being dragged to the ancestral hall to kneel, Ye Li has no choice but to make his fortune through food.

At the end of the month, the village school closes for a break. Jiang Ji rushes home, worried sick that Ye Li might be abusing his two younger brothers. But when he gets there, he finds Jiang Mai and Jiang Ya happily gnawing on big bones.

Jiang Ji furrows his long brows. What is that good-for-nothing up to now?

But Ye Li's eyes are shining. Wow, his husband really is handsome.

That night, Jiang Ji goes to Jiang Mai and Jiang Ya's room to sleep as usual. Ye Li comes over with an oil lamp and knocks on the door. "Husband, it's time to come back to our room."

Jiang Ji: "..."

It was Ye Li who kicked him out of the room when they first married. He wants to see what trick Ye Li is pulling now.

Ye Li cries foul. What trick could he possibly be pulling? His husband's face is exactly his type, so of course they should consummate their marriage!

Jiang Ji is unwilling. This good-for-nothing actually covets his body!

Ye Li can only persuade him. "Just pretend we're doing it out of spite, to get back at someone."

"..."

Something's not right.

This good-for-nothing is acting very strange.

After one night, Jiang Ji's words soften, and so does his heart.

He starts observing his husband in secret. After three days of watching, when he returns to school, he can't get Ye Li out of his mind.

Later, Jiang Ji passes the provincial imperial exam and Ye Li becomes the husband of a successful candidate.

Quite a few people come to offer concubines to the new candidate. Ye Li picks up the chest containing the property deeds and shop leases. After pretending to do it out of spite for so long, he has naturally developed feelings. If that bastard dares accept, Ye Li will make him leave with nothing and take a new husband!

Jiang Ji hurriedly pulls him into his arms and soothes him, no longer caring about his pride. "Li Li, in this life and the next, there will only be you."

Theme: Love should be spoken aloud.
