Reborn: Marrying the Foil Character as Male Wife

Xu He has always been the contrast to his second sister— pale, delicate, and fertile, she is the darling of the Xu family, the village belle, with suitors lining up from one end of the village to the foot of the mountain; while he is sallow, frail, and unremarkable, the unwanted son of the Xu family, whose only skill is cooking. Yet, toiling from the stove to the fields, covered in grime, no one ever spares him a glance. The villagers often gossip—how could the same parents produce two such different children? With his sister as the standard, He’er is surely even harder to marry off. Yet, inexplicably, many young men seek out Xu He. But those who cozy up to him only do so to fish for news about his sister. Over the years, Xu He has grown accustomed to it. But recently, even Zhang Fangyuan, the village’s notorious idler, has started pestering him. Hiding and dodging, Xu He is still cornered on his way home. The man grins: "He’er, your cooking smells divine. Imagine how much better it’d taste if you were my husband." Trigger Warnings: 1. Fictional setting—very fictional, do not scrutinize. 2. Mpreg. Cover features the bottom. Dual POV (both top and bottom). 3. If bothered by the contrasting character being female, steer clear. No inflammatory comments in chapters.
