The Prince Who Married Into His Husband's Family [Farming]

Ling Da sold his fields to pay for his son's schooling. The villagers said he'd gone mad. A peasant wanted to become an official? But then his son became a famous child prodigy and was about to head to the capital to take the imperial exam, making the villagers jealous all over again.

"He doesn't have a birthmark, and he looks like a ge'er. Could he really be one?"

"They'll definitely examine him in the capital. Once they've seen his body, which respectable family would want him?"

Ling Da encouraged his son. "They're jealous of your talent! Your father believes in you!"

Ling Shen could only smile bitterly to himself.

Ling Shen transmigrated into a political scheming novel, becoming cannon fodder in a dark prince's struggle for imperial power.

In the book, he was a hot contender in the imperial exams, but someone drugged him and framed him as a ge'er. Thugs at an inn swore they had "taken his innocence" and held up bloodied sheets as proof. In the end, he was sentenced for deceiving the emperor, executed, and had his family property confiscated.

Current progress: He's been drugged.

Ling Shen desperately clung to the hem of a man dressed in fine silks... The next morning, he took the man's jade pendant as evidence.

At his trial, he cried out that he was innocent, presented the pendant, and said its owner could testify for him.

Everyone saw the prince pocket the pendant with a dark expression.

After narrowly escaping disaster, Ling Shen wanted nothing more than to stay away from the world of government. Then his belly started to swell.

Ling Da worried about what to do, but food-loving Ling Shen was already thinking about feeding the baby milk and goat's milk, then rice cereal once he was bigger.

When he was bigger still, in summer he could keep his father company over garlic crawfish, barbecue, fresh tofu pudding with spicy dipping sauce, hand-pulled noodles, giant salamander... In winter, he could join his father for hot pot, mutton dipped in thick sesame sauce, coconut chicken... For snacks, they could have stinky tofu, roast squab, crab roe rice crackers, boneless chicken strips... For dessert, mille crepe cake, tiger-skin cake, snow-skin mochi, scallion and pork floss rolls...

Father drinks wine, baby drinks milk!

Eating together as father and son wasn't enough. Ling Shen decided to invite everyone to eat with them. Luckily, the family had an abandoned courtyard, so he picked up his abacus and ledger and turned it into a farmstay.

He guaranteed that every customer would gain three pounds a day. No dream required!

The farmstay grew bigger and bigger, opening more and more branches, until it attracted the male lead of the novel.

When the prince arrived, Ling Shen hurriedly took his son and hid far away,

but the prince still cornered him outside his home. "Did you steal this child from the palace?"

Ling Shen protested, "I gave birth to him."

Later, the prince issued an edict legalizing marriage between men, led by example by giving up his imperial power, and volunteered to marry into Ling Shen's family.

Everyone in the world said he was crazy.

But the prince devoted himself to raising their child and managing the household, and his greatest fear was that his husband would make him sleep in the study.
