[Themes: Husband Role + Farming + Food + Straight Man in a Transmigration Novel + Transmigrated Bottom + Reborn Top + Slice of Life]
The clingy husband-to-be was the ultimate love fool. He didn’t care that his fiancé flirted around and had affairs everywhere, firmly believing in the saying, “A man may fool around outside, but he’ll always come home in the end.” Holding onto this naïve belief, he was eventually tricked by the scumbag into signing a contract of servitude and sold away.
Ye Ning transmigrated — from an apocalyptic world where food was scarce to a tranquil paradise filled with small bridges, flowing streams, and lush greenery.
The little village was quaint and thriving, and for the first time, he didn’t have to worry about finding food. Everything here was exactly the peaceful, pastoral life Ye Ning had always dreamed of.
However, staring at the tall stack of wedding pastries on the wooden table and the courtyard piled high with betrothal gifts, Ye Ning — a proper, straight-laced, pure-blooded straight man — was faced with the most worldview-shattering dilemma of his life: Even a straight man has to become a Fulang?
So what if his fiancé’s family raised a few pigs? A straight man would never bend for pigs — he’d rather call off the engagement!
In this closed-off little village, gossip spread like wildfire. Villagers pointed and whispered, his biased father sighed endlessly, his old-fashioned mother wept and wailed, and the whole family threatened him with death if he didn’t beg the scumbag to take him back.
Was getting married really that hard? In the blink of an eye, Ye Ning chose a new fiancé — handsome face, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and most importantly, from a wealthy family. He was the only son of the richest man in the village, and the betrothal gifts stretched from the Ye family home all the way to the big willow tree at the village entrance.
There was just one problem…His new fiancé was a fool — literally, someone with a mental disability.
The villagers laughed at Ye Ning for being desperate, saying he must’ve gone crazy wanting to marry so badly that he’d wed the rich family’s idiot son.
But only Ye Ning knew the truth: this so-called fool was actually the true protagonist of the novel — a prince who had lost his memory and was living among commoners, waiting for the day the imperial court would find him and restore him to his rightful position. In time, he would be named crown prince, ascend the throne, and rule the entire nation!
Marrying a fool meant Ye Ning wouldn’t have to face the risk of “turning gay,” and in the future, he could bask in the glory of the crown prince — what a perfect deal.
Ye Ning’s abacus clicked brightly in his mind: “How is this marriage? It’s clearly an investment.”
Ye Ning packed up his only dowry — a shabby noodle stall. When he reopened the shop, he didn’t just serve noodles anymore; he added a variety of new dishes to the menu — boiled pork slices, hotpot, snail noodles, grilled meat skewers, spicy stir-fry, sweet and sour pork, curry pork cutlet rice, bubble milk tea, brown sugar jelly, and more.
The backward little village had never seen such exotic and mouthwatering dishes. Curious customers flocked to the village entrance, and soon, the tiny noodle stall became a big one, which then expanded into a grand restaurant. Branches even opened in nearby towns and cities.
Ye Ning didn’t just make his restaurant business thrive — he also nursed his supposedly “foolish” husband, who suffered from a loss of appetite, back to full health until he was plump and rosy.
Until one day, Ye Ning discovered that he wasn’t the only one who had transmigrated — his “foolish” husband was actually reborn.
He had been pretending to be a fool the entire time…
