Caught off guard by the sudden stroke of luck, Mo Yi obediently followed the woman in front of him, his heart filled with anticipation of meeting his partner soon. yl9um

The girl had always been walking beside Mo Yi, not in a hurry, occasionally smiling at him and pointing out some beautiful scenery around them.

Mo Yi didn’t know what kind of person the original owner was, so he kept quiet and simply observed. Fortunately, the two people beside him didn’t show any strange expressions because of this.

After about fifteen minutes of walking, he saw a courtyard in front of him, through the fence of which he could see the blue brick and tile houses inside. Actually, these houses didn’t look impressive at all, three in total, not very tall, squeezed together compactly, and somewhat homely.

But compared to the thatched cottages not far away, they appeared much more grand. P5THhr

The surroundings, the attire of the people he saw, led Mo Yi to speculate that he was now in an ancient dimension. In this ancient dimension, judging from the level of his family in this village, he must be considered wealthy!

However, just when Mo Yi was filled with joy, thinking that he would meet his partner as soon as he entered, the woman led him to a room filled with smoke and fire.

Stove, pots and pans, everything was there.

Isn’t this the kitchen? Why did she bring him here?

Mo Yi looked at the woman beside him, confusion written all over his face.

Seeing his expression, the woman sighed, rubbing her forehead helplessly, and said, “Oh, you, how many times do I have to tell you to remember!”

“The old lady knows that what they did at the Bai family was unfair to you, but now that you’ve married into it, what else can we do? You, after the wedding, disappeared without a trace. Forget about the bridal chamber, you haven’t even stepped into the room once. Sleeping in the cowshed every night, how can that be acceptable?”

“As for me, I still have things to attend to. You just stay here and watch this stove. Inside is medicine for your wife. He’s barely hanging on; we can’t just throw him out like that. This Bai’s family is also committing evil!” LodnBE

As the woman spoke, she lit the fire and prepared the medicine. Mo Yi, on the other hand, furrowed his brows tightly. Although he hadn’t fully received the plot yet, from the information the woman provided, he could tell that the wife he married, who was also his partner, was in poor health. It seemed there were many issues in the household as well.

Mo Yi didn’t care about the conditions of his partner’s family; his only concern was his partner’s health. What did it mean for him to be barely hanging on?

But after finishing with the stove, when the woman turned to see Mo Yi’s expression, she thought he was still upset. She sighed and took Mo Yi’s hand, earnestly saying, “If you really don’t like it, wait until he gets better a bit. After a while, I’ll find a girl for you to consider. I’ll make sure to find one that suits you.”

Hearing this, Mo Yi finally reacted and hurriedly shook his head, saying, “No, no other girl. Just him!” bFn 2e

Seeing Mo Yi’s serious expression, Mo Yi’s mother was somewhat surprised. She had initially thought her son didn’t like the new wife and refused to enter the room, but now he refused to consider other options. Could it be that he actually liked him?

Mo Yi’s mother couldn’t figure it out. After instructing when to finish boiling the medicine and what to be careful about, she left to attend to other tasks.

Although the Bai family had some fields and could be considered small landlords, in this world, nobody’s wealth just fell from the sky. If they could do the work themselves, they definitely wouldn’t leave it to others.

Mo Anan embroidery skills were excellent, and every time she sold handkerchiefs, she earned two more coins than other girls. People praised her for her skillfulness, predicting she would good at managing a household in the future

When the kitchen was left with only Mo Yi, he carefully watched the fire while instructing 006 to transmit the plot of this world to his mind.

In the world where Mo Yi currently resides, as he observes, it is an ancient dimension. The heroine of this small world, Mo Anan, was originally the daughter of a minor landowning family in a village on the border of the Great Xia country.

She had both parents and, although her brother, Mo Yi, was somewhat mentally challenged, her family was harmonious and happy. z64XUk

However, disaster struck one day when the earth suddenly upheaved, causing immense catastrophe to her hometown overnight, with countless dead or injured. She could only flee with her family, only to encounter bandits, and in the end, she was the only one who managed to escape alive.

Losing everything, Mo Anan was in deep sorrow but still had to survive. Relying on her diligence and intelligence, she started from scratch and eventually expanded her business, even reaching the capital city, becoming the story of a female tycoon.

As for Mo Yi’s partner in this life, named Bai Lin, he was a scholar originally living in the neighboring village.

Bai Lin was born weak and sickly, his mother died in childbirth, and his family was relatively well-off when his father was alive, leaving him as the only son, a young scholar. rML 6Y

His teacher was very optimistic about Bai Lin’s potential for studies, but unfortunately, he was often sick and unable to attend private school, missing several exams.

He intended not to miss the exams this time and prepared to study hard, but then his father suddenly passed away. Overwhelmed by the funeral arrangements, Bai Lin fell ill once again.

While he was bedridden, his eldest uncle and his family took over their property and drove him out.

In his most difficult time, Bai Lin fortuitously met the female lead, who helped him. He always remembered this kindness. So, when he later passed the exams and became a high-ranking official, upon meeting the female lead again, he naturally became her greatest support. AInzgd

Of course, this was the original storyline. The problem arises because the small world experiences a distortion, with the supporting character Bai Rouya being reborn.

Bai Rouya, a character who barely appeared in the original storyline, is Bai Lin’s cousin.

In her previous life, Bai Rouya set her sights on the wealth of the Mo family and married the Mo family’s mentally challenged son, entering into a marriage that existed in name only.

Later, when disaster struck the village and the Mo family lost everything, Bai Rouya fled early during the chaos. She encountered a wealthy old man, Liu Yuanwai, and actively seduced him, offering to become his concubine. VaMpid

Thinking this would lead to a better life, she didn’t expect Liu Yuanwai’s legal wife to be a shrew who harassed and beat her daily. Bai Rouya died from the abuse within a year of arriving at the Liu household.

After her death, she woke up to find herself back in the past, before she had married the Mo family’s fool.

Having seen the world a bit after going to the Liu family, she looked down on the people in her village even more. Knowing that the Mo family had already received her dowry, she decided to temporarily run away, planning to return after the wedding date had passed.

In the Great Xia country, male companionship was valued, with the current emperor’s most favored consort being a man, setting a trend among the populace. It was common for poorer men who couldn’t afford a wife to form sworn brotherhoods. IXc4HZ

Wealthy families, valuing the continuation of their lineage, also took male partners, but mostly as male concubines. True marriages to male spouses were rare.

Bai Rouya’s running away and the cancellation of the marriage could have been the end of it. However, Bai Lin’s great aunt, Wang Shi, greedy for the dowry money and seeing Bai Lin’s frail appearance, planned to evict him but then saw an opportunity to make use of what she considered waste by switching him in.

During this time, they mistreated the sick Bai Lin, not even providing him with food, let alone medicine, leaving him powerless to resist. On the wedding day, he was drugged, dressed in red bridal clothes, covered with a bridal veil, and placed in a sedan chair.

After arriving, Uncle Bai and Wang Shi tried to keep the switch a secret, but once Bai Lin was carried out of the sedan chair, even if carried upside down, his slender but taller-than-average male physique gave him away. ZU4yxh

Seeing the plot uncovered, Wang Shi made a scene and even alarmed the village chiefs of both villages.

Bai’s family was from Anping village, and the village chief, considering Bai Kaicheng, Uncle Bai’s son who was a scholar living in an academy, saw a promising future for the Bai family and was biased. Therefore the incident turned into a confused lawsuit.

It was argued that marrying a man as a spouse was not unheard of, especially since Bai Lin was a scholar, and for him to marry a fool, the Mo family wasn’t at a loss. Thus, the sickly Bai Lin was left with them.

Although reluctantly, but given the circumstances, the Mo family people were indeed good. When Bai Lin woke up, they didn’t mistreat him. cjqg0X

As for why Bai Lin later turned into a villain, it was also closely related to his rebirth sister, Bai Rouya.

Originally, after Bai Lin arrived at the Mo family, they treated him well, providing him food and medicine, and even significantly improving his health. If it followed the original storyline, he might have been able to return to the capital city to take the exams.

However, Bai Kaicheng, for some reason, found a backdoor way to buy an official position by asking for money from Uncle Bai.

Bai Rouya wanted her biological brother to be her support, so she set her sights on the Mo family’s wealth to solve this. Thinking back to her previous life when she was married into the Mo family, she was very familiar with where their money was kept. She ended up hiring a few thugs to steal from the Mo family in the middle of the night. n0U2wM

They were caught by Mo Dali, the head of Mo family, who was up at night. Deciding to go all out, they ended up killing everyone in the Mo family.

Bai Lin was lucky to survive but had one of his legs broken. With a disability, he could no longer enter the imperial court, cutting off his path to academic pursuits.

He wanted to report the crime, but the village head of Anping Village provided false testimony, leaving him with no recourse.

Thinking of his experiences since his parents’ death and the unjust death of the only people who were kind to him, the Mo family, Bai Lin finally decided to turn completely dark. He poisoned the well water, taking the entire Anping Village down with him. XTUIEy

When Mo Yi finished reading the storyline, the medicine was also ready.

Mo Yi stared at the pot on the stove in silence for a long time, feeling that his lover had a very tragic life. No, in every world, his fate was harsh and miserable.

But every time he learned of these, he still felt heartache and anger.

“Host…” The little dog in his sea of consciousness drooped its tail, wanting to comfort Mo Yi but not knowing what to say. YeiDdA

“Sigh!”

Mo Yi took a deep breath, blinked his eyes, and tried to suppress the moisture in his eyes before picking up the pot and pouring a bowl of medicine. Holding it with both hands, he walked towards his new room.

Oh, right, he is the foolish husband of his partner, the female protagonist Mo Anan’s brother.

The original host wasn’t particularly stupid, he just had some social anxiety and didn’t like interacting with people. He would often stay silent when others asked him questions, which made him appear even less intelligent. QzjP t

He loved his family very much, so when the system approached him and informed him of their future hardships, he agreed to swap identities without hesitation, hoping that his family could be safe.

006 found this request reasonable and even arranged for the original host, ensuring that he would have a healthy body and a happy family in his next life.

Mo Yi arrived in this timeline on the third day after Bai Lin “married” into the family. However, apart from the first day when the original host saw the unconscious Bai Lin, Bai Lin stayed in their bridal chamber and never came out.

For some reason, the original host seemed somewhat afraid of this new “bride” and refused to enter the room. He even slept in the cowshed at night. cB3gCw

So, they hadn’t really met face-to-face, which actually made it easier for Mo Yi.

Otherwise, he was worried that Bai Lin, being so intelligent, would notice the differences between him and the original host.

Carrying the bowl of medicine cautiously, Mo Yi reached the door of the room and gently pushed it open.

Although it was broad daylight outside, the room was dim. g7xw2e

“Time to take your medicine,” Mo Yi said softly as he saw the figure sitting on the bed, knowing that the man should be awake.

But there was no response, not even a glance in his direction.

Afraid to open the window and let the wind blow into the room, Mo Yi had to light the oil lamp on the table. After hesitating for a moment, he took the medicine bowl and approached the bedside.

In the dim light, he finally saw the appearance of his partner in this life. YaCS h

The man was extremely thin, wearing a gray undershirt, hair disheveled, and lips pale. With eyes cast down, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

“Time to take your medicine,” Mo Yi asked again, feeling somewhat at a loss facing his fragile partner.

After experiencing so many worlds, Mo Yi was no longer as naive as before. He knew very well that his partner must be feeling extremely down now.

Despite having the potential to achieve success and become a future prime minister, standing at the peak, he was now forced to marry a fool. Anyone would find it unacceptable. j6nTJP

Maybe he would even resent him!

Thinking of this, little dog Mo Yi felt a bit panicked. He put down the medicine bowl, paced around for a bit, then suddenly leaned forward and planted a kiss on the man’s cheek.
