Transmigrate, Farm, and Raise a Husband

A pitiful reborn husband is doted on by a transmigrated top-tier star husband. Men who can bear children, pregnancy, and farming Gu Anzhi transmigrates and starts out with a dilapidated thatched hut and a handsome husband. He thought this would be a face-slapping power fantasy, but instead he's landed in a rural romance, with a poor simpleton, no less. But he has a house and land, knowledge of future technology, and experience running a company. There's no reason he can't build a fortune. When Gu Anzhi first transmigrates, he tells his handsome husband, "I'm straight. At most, I'll treat you like a roommate. We'll split the housework fifty-fifty, so don't expect me to take care of you." Ruan Bailing had always been expected to do all the work, both at his parents' home and at his husband's home in his previous life. What man would be willing to do the laundry and cooking? This man actually wants to share the work with him? He's so touched he could cry. Gu Anzhi: "Come on, aren't we both living in this home? What's wrong with dividing the chores in half? Why are you crying? You make it seem like I'm bullying you. How about this: I'll even wash one more bowl for you." Ruan Bailing: "Husband, why are you so good to me? I've never met a man as good as you." Gu Anzhi is so flustered by being called husband that he can't help grinning: "I'm clearly straight, so why does calling me husband make the corners of my mouth lift on their own? Say it again." Gu Anzhi: "I don't want to turn gay either, but he called me husband!" Ruan Bailing is the most beautiful man who can bear children in the surrounding villages, and he cooks wonderfully. Even a scholar came to ask for his hand, but someone saw him sharing a bed with the village simpleton. The villagers all felt sorry that such a fine man would have to marry a simpleton, but Ruan Bailing wasn't worried at all. He even laughed and said, "At least the simpleton can eat and use the latrine by himself." The villagers thought he was crazy, but they didn't know he had returned to life from the future. In his previous life, he married the scholar and looked after his paralyzed father, his mentally ill mother, and his younger siblings, who were still being weaned. After enduring all that, when the scholar finally became an official, Ruan Bailing discovered that his husband had always loved someone else, his idealized beloved. The scholar needed someone to care for his paralyzed father, his deranged mother, and his young siblings so he could focus on his studies. That's why he found a man with no family or connections in the village to marry. Once he passed the exams, he immediately killed Ruan Bailing and married his beloved from the city. After returning to the past, Ruan Bailing's younger brother envied him for becoming an official's wife in his previous life. He deliberately lured the village simpleton into Ruan Bailing's room, ruining his reputation and stealing his marriage prospect. Before marrying the simpleton, Ruan Bailing prepared himself for the worst. Looking after a simpleton was better than looking after a whole family of ungrateful people. At least he could get out of bed to eat and use the latrine by himself. After they married, he discovered that the simpleton was no longer simple. Once cleaned up, he was quite handsome, and he treated Ruan Bailing with respect, treating him like a person. He even brought him into a few small business ventures. In just a few years, their dilapidated thatched hut became a brick house, and their life grew more prosperous by the day. Later, because local bullies kept harassing them over their business, they decided to study for the imperial examinations and become officials. The younger brother was lazy and ill-tempered. After stealing the marriage prospect, he didn't look after the scholar's family like Ruan Bailing had. Instead, he ordered them around like servants. The scholar could no longer focus on studying and spent all day dealing with household affairs, so he never passed the exams. The villagers all laughed at the scholar: "Even a simpleton can pass the exams. You're not even as good as one."
