The ugly ger Hua Zizhou was forcefully given to Qu Qing, a village gangster. With two ragged clothes as his “dowry” and a child with different coloured pupils who was considered a monster by the outside world, Hua Zizhou despairingly thought that no one would accept such a disreputable and ugly him.

But to his surprise, the so-called unscrupulous gangster let him and his child into his home.

I don't know why people are giving this such a low review, the people here lack an understanding of the character Wich is the MC. He is a man that is struggling to live a life with a mom that has been hospitalized and struggling with bills. He wakes up as a man who is scum, and has to marry an 'ugly' ger who has picked up an abandoned baby with different colored eyes. Both gers are seen as burdens in general by society. The MC decides to take both... more>> of them in.

Spoiler

At first he decides to take them in but he does not know anything of gers and that they can get pregnant. Man, was he surprised when he found out about mpreg

[collapse]

People are giving the MC, sh*t since he litterly tried to
Spoiler

give the ML (ger) persuade him to remarry, but you need to see it from his perspective, the man will be leaving ancient times after 10 years. He did not want to get attached and leave behind a family, with possible children. He loves his adopted child, the only reason why he was so preoccupied to make money was for a means for his family. To make sure that when he leaves they will be well off.

[collapse]
Spoiler

He even encouraged the ML to get remarried for this reason. Even explaining the situation to the ML later on. They do live well off, and are happy for those 10 years. The reader needs to know that this story has a little more realistic attitude about a person crossing over and living in ancient times; thus this is why the MC acts the way he does about the ML at first.

[collapse]

The story is actually very interesting. I would recommend it, there is a happy ending for the MC and ML. The adopted child of them is also insinuated to have a happy life as well. I recommend this story for those, please take into consideration the comments above, but also know that the MC knew he would one day leave his new family behind and this is why he acted at one point the way he did.

My thanks to the author who wrote this amazing story, and to the translator who made it possible for me to find it in novel updated. Thank you for all the hard work they put into it for the pleasure of us, the readers. <<less

It's an interesting take on the usual transmigrate to ancient times and get a husband trope. A struggling, riddled in debt MC meets a mysterious man who offers millions of RMB in exchange for living in ancient times for 10 years. No system, no golden fingers and a pair of unwanted gers; that's how it be for MC. The one main perk MC has is that after returning, all of the money earned in the ancient times will be converted into modern day RMB!

The story flowed pretty smoothly and without... more>> much conflict. It's an easy read! Though from the reviews, some might find MC unlikable and dislike the quick development of positive feelings from the ML and adopted child towards MC.
Spoiler

MC likes but rejects ML for most of their early interactions like a domineering tsundere CEO lol

MC: "Promise me that you won't like me"

also MC when ML is sulking and mentions leaving him: *hand grab* "Take one more step and I will really break up with you!"

sigh

He has one (unnecessary imo) scene where he's one toe into yandere when he realises his feelings for ML. MC even tries to match ML up with other men which of course upsets ML. However, MC does this because he knows he has a 10-year countdown and does not want any lingering attachments or regrets. Annoying but maybe understandable... but still annoying xD

[collapse]

Spoiler

As for ML and the kid, their feelings are definitely abrupt but I'm not too surprised at how fast their feelings changed. Besides the writer being very very light on details, ML and the kid mostly get the cold treatment at home. Unlike other ger novels where the ger is exploited as their working cow, ML's treatment is mostly cold and some wariness because of the kid. ML's family still loves ML but refuses to take care of the ominous heterochromic wild child that ML picked up years ago so they're cold towards the duo and their relationship has deteriorated. ML gets to talk with his mom later on and they're more or less okay with each other again. There is a mentioned (infuriating) instance where ML's family "lost" the kid during the early days of ML taking him home though ugh

The villagers outside are the cruel ones though. To summarise, the typical name calling and rumor spreading about ML about his acne covered face and the "origin" of the kid (ML's illegitimate child) ; taunting, isolating and beating up (?) the kid because of his different coloured eyes.

MC is a ray of sunshine and hope for them. The surprising part about ML and the kid's emotional change is that ogMC actually kicked them down just that morning before MC entered lol I definitely would not be feeling good about this man for a long while

They're initially wary of him and hide secrets which they think will cause MC to kick them out which upsets MC because they don't trust him enough (duh, it's been 2 days at most lol) which causes them to panic and become more determined to hide the secret. Yep. Fortunately, the secrets (the kid's different coloured eyes) get revealed and accepted (very monotonously) by MC

[collapse]

Now, for those who are into super lengthy + detailed plots and character development, the story plot mentions 10 years but there's a major, MAJOR time skip.
Spoiler

MC finishes up his 5-year village + life improvement plan within his 1st year in the ancient world. I myself like light reads but this seems suspiciously too light xD Most of the novel (until chapter 60 something) takes place within the first 6 months of his first year. Or somewhere around then at least. MC becomes a well-known and beloved teacher (wow, unseen occupation for this trope!). MC opens up a successful printing workshop and paper making mill. In short, MC has a successful life that even surprises the mysterious man. The remaining 9 years are summarised in about 2-3 chapters before MC is tossed back into the original world.

[collapse]

To end off on a good note, this story is a definite HE. Not perfect (for MC) but definitely a happy end.
Spoiler

ML gets transmigrated into MC's world. The kid was offered to come too but he wanted to stay with his crush so he didn't follow.

MC: My cabbage has been snatched by a pig!!!

While this isn't as great as the other stories in the same genre (ancient times transmigration with farming), I found the MC pretty nice, and explicitly talks about equality between men, women and gers, so is refreshing in that aspect, and sexism from other characters often *actually* get addressed.

In short, this is a very slice-of-life, pretty fluffy, with an MC with modern values, and the kids (adopted, basically) are cute too.

The way MC ML and ML's adopted son change their characters after being with MC for 2 day is a bit ridiculous.

For example, ML's son has been abused, mocked, etc by their family and villagers, that he develop a tough attitude. He doesnt cry eveen when he falls, and has injuries all over his body. Then, after a day and half meeting a stranger to be his father's husband, and when this stranger doesnt avoid him, then his vigilance, defence mechanism are all gone. *Ifacepalm*

I'm very much annoyed with this... more>> MC attitude. He is a self righteous but actually a hypocrite.

The flow of events in the story is very... mixed. I dont think there's a sense of order for those events, and actually they're not that important for MC ML lives.

There's an explanation for why and how MC got transported, but it's ridiculous, and senseless. And this made the ending unsatisfactory and a bit plain. <<less

If you read this please read fully before listening to any of the negative comments cause I promise when you take everything into account they're making it out to be a lot worse than it is.

So my first time writing a review here but I honestly and truly enjoyed this. I MTL'd it so bear in mind. I found the story to not only be cute but honestly a lot more realistic when it came to how much the MC could actually accomplish when thrown into an ancient world with... more>> no real skills other than his ability to read and write. To be honest most people couldn't adapt modern practices in the ancient world because the technology isn't there but also because the average person doesn't have an in depth knowledge of most modern inventions so the things that the MC accomplished are pretty in line with basic teachings in school especially for an eighteen year old. The MC was not only non-toxic (deffo a little misguided but he was trying his best) and not as annoying as a lot of gongs go when it comes to treatment of the shou and people around them but honestly was kind of cute in a dumb teen trying to be an adult way. They definitely had a clumsy way of dealing with their feelings but its to be expected from teenagers being treated like adults.

Just a reminder tho they are teenagers. Both MC and ML are 17/18 when this story starts so of course they're not going to have their sh*t together. MC is doing his best with his given situation and from what I can tell has no experience from love while also suffering from young person syndrome (I can do anything and it won't kill me because I'm young). He's thinking ten years ahead about whether or not he's gonna be there to support them but also dealing with falling in love for the first time. He's already experienced hopelessness and losing his family so abandoning the people he thought were his 'wife' and 'child' is especially difficult.
Spoiler

As someone who willing answered a shady ad and gave up his future prospects and ten years of his life for his mother he would never be able to look at ML and his son and lol you're on your own.

[collapse]
So anyone saying he's self-righteous for taking them is has absolutely no emotional intelligence. Part of creating a character and writing their story is knowing what they would and wouldn't do based on the attributes assigned to them and the backstory created for them. Based on the mc's past and personality he would 100% take in an abandoned ger and child especially if he thought the original body had a responsibility to them. This can be seen in his way of getting involved in other people's problems throughout the story.

Overall this is a pretty cute transmigration young love story. Deffo should read if you're looking for something short and sweet and light on angst. <<less

MC is a self righteous bastard that thinks everything he does is for everyone's benefit. He let a ger, Hua Zizhou, and a child in his life while thinking he would leave them one day. He's the kind of toxic boyfriend you shouldn't have around.

ex:

MC pushes Hua Zizhou away or try to match Hua Zizhou to others but when Hua Zizhou does agree to leave he whines wanting Hua Zizhou back

MC makes his friends fall for Hua Zizhou and just thinks everyone is fine because him and Hua Zizhou is fine

MC rejects Hua Zizhou then gets Hua Zizhou hopes up again the next day

MC lets everyone know that there is nothing between him and Hua Zizhou which makes everyone think that Hua Zizhou is a home wrecker

He pushes others away but if a child, 4 yrs old, push him away he throws a huge tantrum.

Another mellow slice of life story. But why the low rating? It's mainly because I found the MC rather unlikable. His character ranged from meh to me wanting to drop kick him so hard he'll transmigrate to another genre. While in the end he did become sweet and loving, this could've been shown right in the beginning without him being such a mean prick to the ML. Like bruh, did you really had to wait for orbiters to surround your already wife at the time to realize you've already developed... more>> feelings? Did you really had to push him away like that? Dude's willing to go to hell and back for you, but you keep flip flopping and sending mixed signals. One moment you treat him well, then the next you tell him openly you're willing to pretty much give him away to marry others, to put it bluntly. But when people really want to marry him, you flip again and be possessive? Like wha?? He should've been more firm of not establishing any other relationship from the get go if he really didn't want to. Or at least, admit to his feelings directly, and not had the ML suffer from anxiety from his flip flopping treatment.

One thing I liked though is him instilling proper values to the people, and also uplifting everyone. Not too much drama, just the typical tr*sh folks, every story has those.

Tl;dr: mellow light story of dude going back to ancient times, from poor to rich, not too many details happened, you don't have to think too much. <<less

I agree with the above comment (Kaylee) !

If you do not want to use your brain or just don't give a crap, be my guest and read.

The thing I hate about this novel is that I pick this novel because of transmigration and MPREG (especially MPREG!).

... more>> I do not care or give a crap what other things but male pregnancy is life.

Here I was waiting for cute BUNS!!!! But NOOOO all I got was a comment by the author at the end of the novel stating they will have maybe 2 children, and she did not feel like writing about it. SCREW YOU! I pick this because of MPREG.

The shou is an ideal shou but the gong should not deserve this title, dunno I do not think he is gong material (dunno I just do not like this). <<less

This was okay. I like to read this genre (transmigration, farming BL) when I don't want to have to think. This genre usually has a lot of fluff and characters with plot armor. This story tried to deliver that, but wasn't as good a read as others in this genre. The rating would have been higher if the romance wasn't so lackluster and the MC so unlikeable. If it was Shounen Ai (where the romance takes a backstage to the rest of the plot) I could have given that a... more>> pass, but this was yaoi where the romance should play a bigger role.

Spoiler

The MC has to return to his original world after a specific amount of time. As a result, he decides not to have a relationship with the ML and to discourage the ML's feelings. Fine. This is actually a great plot point, and having him deal with the conflicting feeling he's developing for the ML would have made a great story. That isn't what happened. Insted he leads the MC on, is intentionally cruel, practically pushes other men on the MC, and then at the end gets possessive. Also the ML can come across as a dependent doormat with all his self-worth issues unresolved and overcome with the power of 'love'.

[collapse]

ML moral standing and economic development approach were topnotch, but there was still and issue with his sactimouious enforcement of ideals he expects everyone to accept and agree with despite people from the era being socially conditioned for years to accept something else. <<less

I understand why some of the reviewer, rate this low, and even dislike the story.

the MC was too rational, specially when he ask ML to remarry, and he cant explain why, its soo hurtful. Too cruel, but he has a point, it is true. And truth hurts all in all, this is a good storyyy

Many are mad at MC for wanting to get ML remarried, of course it was quite annoying since its quite obvious he liked him, but I do understand his perspective. He knew he would leave so getting attached to someone in another world will cause issues since ya know you could get attached.

Otherwise, loved this, especially the little romantic bits, I couldnt help but blush 😭, like Zizhou just telling MC-, forget it it sounds cringe when I say it, jsut read the book and you’ll understand. Oh btw the... more>> Chinese translated into English ain’t bad.

Basically search the Chinese name of this novel, so like, and tap the one that say m. Shubaow, and get google to translate it for you and bammmm, better to understand than MTL. Btw Brother mean ger basically. Anyway yeh pretty good! Miao’er was cute too, such a cutie tumbling and tripping all over the place with his tiny legs. <<less
