Dandy Escapes From Marriage

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Liu Shu, the leader of the top four dandies in Jiangnan, spent his days in leisure, enjoying tea and wine without any seriousness. Upon learning of his engagement to the second son of the Shen family in the capital city, he wrapped up his belongings and ran away to a faraway place.

Unexpectedly, his journey didn’t go well, and he encountered mountain bandits. Disheveled and in tatters, he knocked on the door of a farmer’s house. When a man in coarse linen clothing opened the door and their eyes met…

Oh no, Liu Shu thought, pressing his chest; he’s quite handsome!


Liu Shu saw a man who only existed in novels for the first time. Despite being impoverished, he was pure and unaffected, and even in dire circumstances, he remained elegant. Even when squatting by the chicken coop to look for eggs, he maintained his grace.

Liu Shu was deeply attracted to him. To pursue the man and live a good life, he resolutely took on the family’s heavy burden. He farmed the fields, weaved cloth, carried water, and irrigated the garden, making this already less wealthy family even more prosperous.

Liu Shu: =.=

Strange, the more he cultivates this land, the poorer it becomes, but why is life getting richer and richer?


One day, Liu Shu decided to confess, “My dear, actually, my father is the richest man in Jiangnan, and I have an unreliable engagement. I’m supposed to marry the conservative and old-fashioned second son of the Shen family in the capital. He probably knows nothing, not diligent in physical labor nor knowledgeable in agriculture, and definitely not as good as you~”

After saying this, he fell into a strange silence for a moment. “…I am the second son of the Shen family.”

“?”

“Also, who is ‘My dear’?”

“???”

A very sweet wholesome slice of life novel. Liu Shu is an adorable little bean and he is too cute to get mad at. Shen Ke is honestly the best! Super sweet, caring and generous. They match each other perfectly and are pretty much soulmates on all levels.

If you want to read something casually without too much drama or plot than I really recommend you to try!

The second half was fun, but the first 20 chapters or so wasn't really enjoyable to read. It was basically them struggling to make ends meet, literally. Their rich backgrounds were supposed to be their golden fingers but it was useless during the first half.

It's a simple novel for passing the time. A very pure hearted Slice of Life in village. The misunderstandings and when they found out the identity; oh that that part was hilarious.

THe cameos of Zhao Yelan and Yan Mingting was wonderful! I read the Evil Star general a long while ago so it was a lovely surprise

The MTL is understandable and and anyways the existing translation feels like barely polished MTL.

This was fun to read. Both leads are likeable. I love that they were slowly trying to learn the ways of commoners with no complaints. The ML isn't the same cold character in most novels. He is surprisingly funny. The misunderstanding is also not annoying.

If you want a chill ride then you might want to consider reading this.

I picked this up wayyy back, didn’t like it, but picked it up again and I found that I liked it!!! It’s sooooo funny and sweet and cute, the the friendship is soo good. I love how upfront MC id about his feelings and I love that while ML is portrayed as an uptight scholar, he is not rigid. I am so sick of cold Mls!!

I like this one quite a lot, the MC and ML are such a character that even though this is a short novel, it made... more>> me think of it quite often. Love the hidden identity trope. The reveal was also funny! Romance is cute and sweet. Good for a light read. <<less

A very sweet, wholesome, comedic slice-of-life!

Love the writing style, which was casual and funny without taking itself too seriously.

None of the super dumb villagers / cannon fodder or backstabbing and gossiping here. Despite the lack of that kind of drama, there was no shortage of fun things that happened, whether tricking a local tyrant's marriage or taking down a whole mountain of bandits.

... more>> The characters were written very vividly, like real neighbors you'd find next door. The supporting cast was really great, the bamboo-crafter, the grey monk, and other characters.

And in between the smatterings of fluff

Spoiler

are real lessons the author understood, such as how inequality in the ancient times were perpetuated by a terrible class system, and how immense poverty was the result of that system.

[collapse]

Translation could be better, MTL not very edited, but the story overall isn't difficult to understand. <<less

6/5. Sixth star due to the sheer enjoyment I had reading this. Thank you author! Thank you translator! The pronouns and dialogue attribution is at times hit and miss, but I'm skilled at fixing these as I read so it's not a problem for me.

Omg. This is hilarious in c3. Both MC and ML slightly dim and completely naive, with the audience marginally more aware. Each has humble perspective on themselves once they have to do their own household chores. They befriend each other in their assumed identities and help... more>> each other make more friends. This is a very friendly story. They overcome tribulations of daily village life, and bandits.

It describes the reality of making a living off the land, with lots of hard-earned knowledge from experience. Along the way, the audience is magnificently treated to comedic misunderstandings from a plethora of personalities.

Bad guys are bad, good guys don't lose out. Hilarious revelation explanation scene. Happy wedding. HE 😊 <<less
