[Next Book] The Tough Husband's Apocalypse-Era Tycoon Son-in-Law

Shen Zhifei's parents died early. At home, he has three young siblings to care for, and outside, greedy relatives want to take everything from the family. To protect the family property and his siblings, he decides to take in a husband.

When word gets out, the villagers laugh at him: A twenty-year-old ger with three burdens in tow and such a fierce temper would have trouble finding a husband, let alone taking one in! Keep dreaming.

Who would have thought Shen Zhifei would actually bring a man home?

The man is tall and sturdy, clearly strong enough for hard farm work. He's handsome enough to catch the eye, and there's no need to turn out the lights before getting into bed with him.

It's just that his hair is cut so short he doesn't look like a good person.

Yi Jiulin is the most powerful ability user to emerge from the tide of zombies at the end of the world.

After unexpectedly transmigrating, he is not only seriously injured and stripped of his powers, but also becomes an undocumented person in ancient times, with nowhere to go. Yi Jiulin accepts Shen Zhifei's proposal and joins the Shen family as a live-in husband.

The villagers all say he's a man of unknown origins, and that Shen Zhifei is letting a wolf into his home. His family is full of young and weak people, so they'll surely be bullied!

Who would have thought the Shen family's life would gradually improve?

Their mud-brick thatched hut becomes a spacious, bright house with tiled roofs and brick walls. The second child, who had a leg ailment, is cured and marries into a good family. The third and fourth children are sent to a private school to learn to read and write.

Shen Zhifei becomes like a pampered young master from a wealthy family. His former fierceness gives way to an easygoing, lively spirit.

And now he's carrying a baby, bringing a new member into the family.

Yi Jiulin, who still hasn't quite grasped the gender of a ger, is dazed: Am I really a father now?!

The village wives tell dirty jokes: "What's so fun about doing it in bed? The best place is on a hillside, in a cornfield."

Shen Zhifei overhears them, turns bright red, and walks away, cursing Yi Jiulin for learning all those tricks from them!

P.S.

In the blurb, "di" means "little ger."

The dirty joke is adapted from a scene at the ladies' tea party in the TV drama Lurk.

Theme: What is there to do in the mountains? Brew wine from pine blossoms and boil spring water for tea.
