Lin Qinghen is truly pitiful.

His mother passed away early, he has a scarred face, his cultivation talent is poor, and he is not favored by his family. Therefore, from a young age, he learned to act cautiously and keep a low profile. Even after suddenly binding with an alchemy system, he dared not make a splash, merely wanting to live quietly by farming and refining medicine.

That is, until a dramatic plot of marrying in someone else’s place fell upon him.

His cousin, Lin Qingshuang, a favored daughter of heaven, despised her fallen fiancé. Unable to break off the engagement, she impulsively decided to send him in her stead.

Her fiancé, Yin Jiuxiao of the Yin family, was said to have been glorious in his youth, born with a bone for swordsmanship. Unfortunately, his cultivation technique backfired, ruining his foundation and blinding him. Now, he is completely disabled.

Before the wedding, he met the man once and felt a sense of shared misery. He seemed like a nice person, easy to get along with.

“I’m ugly, and you can’t see; we are a perfect match,” Lin Qinghen patted his new husband’s shoulder on their wedding night. “Don’t worry, I’ll farm and take care of you.”

Lin Qinghen had no idea that the world he was in was a novel about the male lead’s revenge after being discarded.

The pitiful, quiet husband he played was actually the main character of this novel.

Moreover, this was Yin Jiuxiao’s second life.

Perspective of the dominant partner:

In his previous life, after Yin Jiuxiao’s fall from grace followed by humiliation from a broken engagement, he awakened his demonic bone amidst hardships and ultimately ascended as a revered dual cultivator of sword and demon. Everyone who had once scorned him groveled at his feet, and he returned all slights doubly.

After being reborn, his so-called regression in strength was just an act, as was his blindness, just watching those people reveal their true natures, ugliness and all, until the Lin family, like in his previous life, attempted to break off the engagement, and he wasn’t surprised.

But Yin Jiuxiao didn’t expect this life’s engagement to turn out very differently.

What came to marry him was a meek, ugly duckling who held him and said, “Don’t be afraid, let’s have a good life together.”

Quite interesting, really.

Note:

1.A powerful, possessive dominant partner X gentle, resilient, angelic partner, with mutual pampering, the dominant partner is reborn and the submissive partner is transmigrated, daily updates.

2.A sweet story, focusing on skills rather than martial prowess.

Attention! The main character has a significant golden finger and a substantial farming storyline. Essentially, this is an upgrading-through-farming story!

Falling in love while becoming stronger.

The submissive partner’s face will gradually heal—the ugly duckling is actually a great beauty!

Most of the chapters are well-thought-out, with some unexpected twists, which is great. But the story feels so smooth and predictable that there's no real suspense. A few chapters go into way too much detail and could easily be summarized in a few sentences—this makes the story drag a bit. On the flip side, some chapters feel too rushed and lack enough detail.

Overall, it’s a good read. I’d personally rate it a 4, but I gave it a 5 to balance things out. It’s not the best, but it’s still... more>> worth checking out. <<less

Came in not expecting much but this novel is a lot of fun!! There's plenty of intrigues, business plots, scheming and one-upping one another. Super fun, of course the MC comes up on top. The beginning might be a little frustrating but as soon as he leaves the Lin house, he's unstoppable.

There's a couple of times where I'm like 'so what next? Where is this going?' in between one problem and another, but other than that there's always something coming up. The scale is from within the city -> nearby... more>> city -> region -> other continents/old grudges/demon realm. Thumbs up. A really fun read!! <<less

It went beyond my expectations given how short it is for a cultivation novel. The story has alot of unexplored potential and I think it was cut short which made me sad. There was places to explore and more potential plot that can be placed.

Most of the story follow MC and him building his new medicine business and help the Yin family regain power,

MC is not a combat type, he uses his brains to sort out every problem. ML usually does nothing but slouches around MC acting like a... more>> concubine, both love each other has completely tactic understanding.

This is a hidden gem for sure, even though it was short it was very enjoyable, the political conflicts and other characters POV. There was alots drama and interesting thinking points. <<less

I clearly haven’t read it all but I’ve bought chapters it’s so good. It has far surpassed my expectations.

even the last line of the summary which had me rolling my eyes “don’t worry guys, MC isn’t really ugly! He’ll heal” has a reason behind it.
