My Male Wife Born with Heaven’s Favor

Xie Ning accidentally fell into the water. After being rescued, his skin cracked, leaving his face covered in dead skin, earning him the village’s reputation as the ‘ugly male wife’. Not only was he dumped and scorned by Zhou Wenshu, but his unbearably dry and itchy body tormented him nearly to death! Xie Ning’s stepmother sent him off to be Zhou Jinian’s study companion—since he couldn’t marry, he might as well earn his keep! What? The Zhou family refused a study companion? They wanted to marry him in as the lawful wife? In his past life, Zhou Jinian dominated the imperial court but, in his later years, carelessly fell victim to political enemies’ poison. In the end, his childhood study companion, Ning, saved him by exchanging blood. Ning was a strange man—his wounds healed unnaturally fast, unlike a normal person. Taken in by Zhou Jinian after a drunken night, he was confined to the family’s backyard. Ning died sacrificing himself, leaving Zhou Jinian with lifelong regret. Reborn, Zhou Jinian calculated the time—it was just when Ning had been parasitized by the koi. He had to hurry and marry him, keeping him nourished in water… This lifetime, he would protect Ning at all costs!
