The Doomed Loner's Little Male Wife

Gu Lanshi’s family arranged a marriage for him with Lin Jinpeng, a tall and handsome man from their village. It seemed everything was about to be settled. However, Gu Lanshi began having dreams—night after night for more than ten days—in which Lin Jinpeng was unfaithful. Half-doubting yet half-convinced, he secretly followed Lin Jinpeng to the back hills, only to witness the affair in person. Crying loudly, Gu Lanshi rushed home with his family in tow. But panic soon struck—if the pair escaped, who would believe him? Furious and desperate, he feared the worst. Luckily, fate intervened. By the time they arrived, the adulterous couple, for some reason, couldn’t find their clothes and were scrambling through the woods in disgrace. The scandal sent Xiahe Village into chaos, drawing spectators from neighboring villages. In the end, the Lin family slunk away in shame, relocating to distant relatives. * Pei Yan was infamous in the village as a lone star of calamity—destitute, tough, and ferocious. After a few brutal fights, few dared to cross him, believing misfortune followed anyone who did. While washing clothes by the river, Gu Lanshi spotted Pei Yan scrubbing a pile of torn fabric nearby. The material looked oddly familiar… Then he noticed the bamboo embroidery in the corner—it was Lin Jinpeng’s! No wonder the adulterers had fled naked. Their clothes had ended up with Pei Yan. After repeated misfortunes in marriage, Gu Lanshi never imagined he’d eventually wed Pei Yan. One a lone star of doom, the other plagued by bad luck, yet their struggling days gradually improved—ample food, meat on the table, and chubby, healthy children. --- **Reading Guide:** 1. MPreg (Male Pregnancy). Avoid if this trope bothers you. 2. Slice-of-life farming novel, slow-paced. 3. Protagonists are flawed. Proceed with caution if this is an issue. 4. More notes may be added later. (Note: "天煞孤星" is rendered idiomatically as "lone star of calamity" for natural flow, and "霉运缠身" as "plagued by bad luck" for readability while preserving the original's vivid imagery.)
