Lin Qinghen is truly pitiful.... more>>

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!

The ugly blacksmith in Liuxi Village married a delicate and beautiful man.

The morning after their wedding, Qingyan, sore all over and weak, clung dependently to the man. With his fair and fragrant fingers, he delicately touched his scarred face.

Qiu Henian stiffened all over, dodging as he turned his face away.

"You should wash your face first..."

Qingyan softly lay on him, his breath fragrant like orchids, "I want my husband to wipe it for me."

The little husband was so pure and delicate, and Qiu Henian was worried that he would be bullied, almost wanting to pin him to his belt.

Until one day, he was anxious to go back to see his husband and closed the door of his shop early and went home.

Qiu Henian heard that the pitiful young husband, who dared not speak loudly and trembled at the sight of strangers, was arguing loudly over the fence with the neighbors.

"You must have lacked great virtue in your past life to marry such a useless ugly man!"

"f*ck your dad's bullshit, your man is useless! My man does it seven times a night, I'm so damn happy!"

Bang!

Qiu Henian stumbled and fell, crashing through the gate.

Qingyan turned to look, guilt written all over his face.

Qiu Henian strode over, picked up his husband, and walked back into the house.

Qingyan was uneasy, "What are you doing?"

Qiu Henian replied, "Going back inside to do it seven times a night, but it's too late and there's not enough time."

Qingyan: "..." <<less

When the competition begins, she quietly pulls out a common, cheap magic staff and casts a curse: “Everyone, turn into pigs!”

Poof, poof, poof!

A group of geniuses, chasing after the exam scrolls on their flying devices, all plummet to the ground, transforming into little pink pigs upon landing.

After taking first place in her group, she screenshots the “pig farm” and posts it to her social feed to gather resentment, captioning it: “What’s there to be proud of in getting first place? After all, what they lost was their score, but what I lost was their love for me~~~”

Mental Energy from all national contestants +99999…

Set against a backdrop of a feudal empire with high-level martial arts and technology, this world has robots, spaceships, Taobao, and college entrance exams. It also features a highly stratified society with a ruling imperial court, entrenched noble classes, and powerful corporations that control the lifelines of the economy. Everyone’s life and death are subject to the whims of others.

Some say that with the revival of spiritual energy and the proliferation of subterranean lairs, the Three Kingdoms will fall to a demon king who will slaughter all in his path.

Some say A’Diao is that revived demon king.

Perhaps she is.

...

The world is high-risk. Characters will use any means necessary to get ahead, and the collective morality does not align with modern perspectives (the protagonist is ruthless as well). This is a parallel, fictional world; do not project it onto reality. Readers who are sensitive about moral ambiguity or prefer “pure” characters should avoid this. The views and actions of the characters do not represent the author’s own; this is simply a story.

The female lead follows a grassroots-to-power trajectory. For the first few dozen chapters, she appears to be lying low but is secretly scheming and profiting. This is not an “instant power-up and dominate” story, but she generally doesn’t let her enemies see another day. There are also hidden secrets regarding her family’s enmity. All characters are essentially tools for the plot; the female lead is a professional focused on gaining money and power. The story arc where she dominates everyone begins with the academy assessments.

The original owner of her body was a young, weak, and ill-natured "educated youth" sent to the countryside. She was not well-liked and was currently in a dispute with her fiancé over breaking off their engagement… Ye Xin felt troubled, thinking, “What a mess!”

But she couldn’t return to her old world, so she had no choice but to adapt and survive.

First of all, she decided to stop arguing—her fiancé was handsome, hardworking, and quite capable. Secondly, she would use her golden finger (a mysterious power) to grow crops, earn food, and take good care of herself, while also helping her fiancé out. She was sixteen, he was seventeen, and they would eat their fill, grow taller, and their future would be full of possibilities.

Farm work in the countryside was tough. During the day, she was busy, and at night, the space she had access to was even busier. There was no way she could finish all the farming work. But the harvests were always rewarding: rice, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs—more than they could ever eat.

The only thing she wasn’t happy about was that while she had only grown a few centimeters, her fiancé kept growing taller and more handsome… He was almost at the level of a male model! And the way he looked at her became less and less restrained.

“We’ve grown up, shouldn’t we get married now?” “I think... I can still grow a bit more…”

The villagers all laughed at Ye Xi. Even the young men who were once uglier than him mocked him, whispering behind his back that he would never be able to marry.

After a while, a stranger came to Shanxiu Village. This man was tall and strong, with dark skin. He only carried a tattered bundle, bought a dilapidated thatched hut at the edge of the mountain, and settled down there.

The villagers didn’t dare approach him, fearing he was engaged in shady business.

Ye Xi had encountered him at the foot of the mountain and by the river. He knew that the man not only farmed well but also hunted and fished, and didn’t engage in gambling, drinking, or other vices.

He felt that this man was a truly good and dependable man.

One day, with half his face scarred from the burn, he pushed open the man’s door and, standing at the entrance, blushed and asked, “Will you marry me?”

The man finished the rice in his bowl, lifted his eyes to gaze at him, looked intently for a long moment, and said, "Marry."

After getting married, there were hot dishes and warm porridge on the stove at home, the torn clothes were mended as if they were new, a group of chickens and ducks were raised in the yard, there were snow-white rabbits in the cage, and the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden grew lushly.

Her husband asks, "What kind of work did you find?"

Yu Li answers, "Butchering pigs."

He pauses. "Have you done it before?"

Yu Li replies confidently, "No, but I’ve watched it being done!"

Just as Yu Li’s pig-butchering career begins to thrive, the sickly scholar miraculously recovers. Not only that, but he rises through the imperial examination system, eventually earning the title of a Duke. And Yu Li? She becomes the Duchess.
