The Marquis’s Heir Is Forced to Pretend to Be a Ghostbuster

Fu Dashan, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, was once just a farmhand. When he couldn't get enough to eat, he was forced into rebellion. He was lucky enough to follow the right leader and fortunate enough to survive until the new dynasty was founded, becoming one of its newly ennobled founding heroes.

When a poor man suddenly becomes rich, the first thing to do is marry a beautiful, refined noblewoman as a secondary wife.

When Fu Yao transmigrated, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's first wife had already "died of illness" long ago.

The original owner had supposedly tried to murder his young brother. Fu Dashan hung him up and whipped him, beating the last spark of life right out of him.

Fu Yao couldn't believe it!

The first wife and her son had endured more than ten years of eating bran and wild greens, only to arrive in the capital and lose everything before they could enjoy even two years of wealth and glory!

Fu Dashan was blind to the truth, and his secondary wife was a master schemer.

A body as scrawny as a bean sprout, a combat rating of 0.5, no money, no allies: a hellish start, hard mode...

Fu Yao thought it over carefully. Should I stay in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's estate and fight the other women for power? Can I win against the other side?

The answer to both was no.

The medicinal-herb cultivation space she'd unexpectedly acquired in her previous life had come with her when she transmigrated. Su Yao decided: if I can't win the household battles, I'll switch to a new field. I'm going to start pretending to be a supernatural being!

A towering mountain called Mount Zixia stood a hundred li from the capital, reaching into the clouds.

Over the years, rumors had spread that an immortal in Mount Zixia was granting medicine.

After extensive investigation, Lu Chengfeng finally concluded that the immortal's medicine was real, and it really did cure illness. The problem was that the elixirs always had some extra effects.

Hunter A: One day, a wild boar gored right through my belly. The immortal gave me a wound-healing pill, and as soon as I swallowed it, the hole in my belly visibly closed up. My skin all over turned as smooth, white, and tender as a peeled egg! ...But I'm a burly, bearded man. What do I need white, tender skin for?!

Village girl B: I envied the burly hunter in our village for his lovely skin, so I secretly went into the mountains. I nearly got carried off by a wolf, but the immortal saved my life and gave me a beauty pill. After I took it, my skin really did turn as white and tender as a peeled egg! ...But where are my eyebrows?! Where's my hair?!

Waaah, I don't want to turn into an actual peeled egg! Luckily, my hair slowly grew back afterward, so I suppose I don't have to kill myself after all.

Villager C: I've been married for ten years without a child. I don't mind turning into a peeled egg, as long as my wife and I can have a child.

The immortal gave me two fertility pills. After my wife and I took them, our health improved and our energy increased. We even had two children in three years! ...Thank you, immortal, for the medicine and for granting us children. Who says immortals are unreliable? They're very reliable when it comes to helping you have a child!

Lu Chengfeng traveled over mountains and rivers and finally met the legendary immortal.

Fu Yao, the "immortal," asked him, "Are you here to ask for a child too?"

Lu Chengfeng fell in love at first sight. "...Could I ask for a wife while I'm at it?"
