Synopsis:

Song Jingwei transmigrated into ancient times into the body of a rich second generation. His sister had deliberately drugged him so he can be pregnant and married out of the house.

Song Jingwei frankly married the man, accepted this new life and moved into the small village. The other party is from a family of farmers.

Shen Junxi, the only son of Shen Jia's eldest house is poor and dumb. He is still single at the age of twenty-four. An accident caused him to suddenly marry the only son of the richest man in Linhua Town. The whole village was shocked by this news.

Shen Junxi knows that he is not good enough to keep Song Jingwei, but in their days together, he still used his heart to love him, respect him and dote on him.

Impressions: This is the story of a straight man sllllllooooowwwllllyyyyy bending slightly. (Like, it took 80% of the novel to bend him. Lol)  Our MC is too rational, this is his strength and his fault. ML is sincere to him, slowly grinding away our MC's heart.

MC is a workaholic president in modern times, so much that he even got stomach cancer. He transmigrates into the young master on the day his sister scheme on him. In this world, men can get pregnant as long as they drink some special water. So sister feeds him the water, drug him, asked her servants to casually pick a man on the side of the road then throws them together. Of course, things happen. That lucky/unlucky man was ML.

ML goes back home to his family the next day and didn't tell anyone what happened. Sister makes a fuss with MC's dad saying that he caught her brother with a wild man so he must be married out to get rid of this shame. MC's dad is stupid who only knows how to listen to other people's opinion so he agrees. Good thing , their butler (?) is somewhat on MC's side so he suggest giving MC a huge dowry to preserve the face of their family and buy them a good reputation. MC's dad agrees again. So MC is married out to ML.

ML's mom and dad is happy, but also slightly fearful of their new daughter-in-law, scared that they can't afford him But MC is good, very polite, not haughty or anything, and most importantly, their son likes him. ML is sincere to MC, really treating him as his wife. MC is neither hot or cold. He didn't blame ML cos he knew that they were both victims. He also intended to keep the child cos he was sick before so he knows how to value life. His priority is to earn money then travel around this new ancient world.

So MC and ML gets along, ML is like MC's shadow gently treating him. ML's mom and dad are also good, no family intrigue. They live a good life, MC's dowry is really wealthy, he builds a new house, starts business, earn money. ML's family all help. There were some conflicts, but this comes from the outside from ML's relatives on his father and mother's side. Before, ML's family was really poor but now their life started getting better, some shameless relatives show up or they don't want ML dad to be better than them. Things like that. This villains aren't really vicious or anything, just annoying. (MC's sister still takes the crown on who's the most despicable). MC slowly starts getting used to ML but he is still a straight man. Can't totally accept it. Laters, after he gave birth, he went out to travel to fulfill his original goal. He wants to give himself a chance to see if he would want to come back. Then things happen and he realized that he is happier staying with ML. They began to really be husband and wife. Another test was when MC met a transmigrator that knows a way to go back to modern times, later he made a choice to finally stay in this world. Then he finally agreed to give ML a second child. Then they live happily ever after~~

I like the pacing. It's only 74 chaps but each chapter was fairly long. MC is an overbearing president straight man, it would've been weird if he was too easy to bend. At the same time, he was also extremely rational so there are no getting swept away in the moment to be used for breakthrough. Lol. ML is also a silent, gentle person who never goes on the offensive so it took him over a year to win his wife! In a way, they are very complimentary to each other.

I like that there will be several turning points in the plot that would help MC realize his own mind/make a choice. Also, his behavior to ML slllooowwwlllly changes from the civil to partnership to husband-and-wife. ML dearly remembers all of them~~~ I was rooting for him all the way cos he's just soooo good to MC, I want MC to hurry up and fall for him XD XD

The two extras are MC and ML's family going to the modern times for one day. MC treated ML's family to the best of everything. Then when they wake up the next day, they're back to their homes so they all think its just a dream~~~~~ This is really pretty nice, slow pacing, very leisurely and fluff is scattered bit by bit in small doses. ^_^
