"Happiness Overflowed After I Became the Stand-In Bride Cannon Fodder"
After Lu Xiaosen worked himself to death, he woke up inside a novel as the adopted son of a wealthy family.
Good news: He got a new lease on life!
Bad news: From the start, he had to take his younger brother's place and marry a savage, penniless country bumpkin. In the future, he'd cause trouble, get beaten by his husband, be rejected by his rich family when he went home, and finally be killed by the protagonist, who would have him drowned at sea as revenge.
Lu Xiaosen: "..."
He had no interest in taking part in the original story's ridiculous plot and being the protagonist's plaything!
Oh well. It didn't matter where he lived. After working himself like a beast of burden for so long, he was ready to find somewhere scenic and lie flat for a while.
But about this unexpected husband...
Sitting on the wedding bed, Lu Xiaosen fell into thought. "Actually, I'm impotent. I have problems in that department. Can we sleep in separate rooms?"
Cheng Yiming: "...Sure."
After they married, Lu Xiaosen gradually began to notice something. Why did life seem to be getting better and better?
Lu Xiaosen couldn't cook, so Cheng Yiming made all three meals every day before heading to work at the factory.
Lu Xiaosen liked wandering around, so Cheng Yiming saved up his wages and bought him a bicycle.
Lu Xiaosen kicked off the covers in his sleep, so Cheng Yiming came in during the night to tuck him in before going back to bed.
Lu Xiaosen: What? The original novel never said I'd be this happy after taking someone else's place in the marriage!
Later, Cheng Yiming rose through the ranks, from the countryside to the town, the county, the provincial capital, and finally the capital. The poor kid everyone used to talk about became President Cheng.
President Cheng was great in every way. His superiors valued him, his subordinates respected him, and there was just one thing everyone in the company knew: he was afraid of his wife and listened to everything he said.
Lu Xiaosen was furious. "Nonsense! That's slander! He never listens when I tell him to stop!"
