Chapter 1 : Transmigrated
When Zhong Ziqi woke up from his muddled chaos state, he found out that the situation was extremely far from good, since he had actually appeared in an unfamiliar place!
He remembered that yesterday he had gone to his best friend’s wedding who he had been secretly in love with for a long time, after that he had gotten so drunk,and he had tried to go home alone but ended up sleeping on the road. Did someone take him home?
But this was quite a poor house. Zhong Ziqi stared at the dark roof and the unknown color of curtain above him. He tried to get up to take a look, but when he moved, he realized that his body was weak and his head hurt.
A ‘creak’ sound of the door being opened, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching, it was unexpectedly a man with face full of powder, a red mole on a space between his eyebrow, the person comb and style his hair in a high bun, and he was also wearing a dark blue of Chinese traditional robe.
Zhong Ziqi only felt that his mind was now a bit confused.
This time the person who came obviously found that he had woken up, immediately pinched his waist and said: “Yo, you kid finally woke up, if you don’t wake up, I’ll have to throw you out. I’m telling you, Zhong Ziqi, don’t die on me, if you die, we can still save some rice and food, but now that you’re awake, it’s a good thing. You could pack up your things and get married the day after tomorrow.” After saying that, he grunted, swinging his hip and walked away.
Zhong Ziqi originally had a headache, now his head felt even more dizzy by the current situation, the words said by this person, Zhong Ziqi listened to it, amidst the clouds and mist, but he could only understand the last sentence which is he will get married…..then Zhong Ziqi fainted.
[云里雾里: amidst the clouds and mist / (fig.) mystified / puzzled]
During fainted, there were many fragments flashed through his mind, not particularly complete, but just enough for him to figure out what was going on.
It turns out that he has transmigrated back in the ancient china time, this time is an alternative reality. The country he lives in is called DaZhe, surrounded by two other countries that are evenly matched, forming a triumvirate. There are no wars in the country now so the people are living in prosperity and well-being.
The name of this body is also Zhong Ziqi, and he lives in a remote mountain village in the country of DaZhe — the Zhao Jiā village. As the name implies, most of the people in this village have the surname Zhao, so the Zhong family is a nonnative.
In Zhong Ziqi’s grandfather’s era, the raging of war was flowing all over the place, ‘the soldiers’ unity and troops rebel’, therefore in order to escape from the war, he fled with his wife and children. When the war finally came to an end, by lucky coincidence he fled to Zhao Jia Village, later he discussed with his wife about settling here. The mayor of Zhao Jia Village was a kind-hearted man who saw that it was not easy for him to bring his family along, after he agreed to settle down here, he gave him a few acres of farmland.

soldiers unity and troops rebel (idiom); turmoil and chaos of war]
Zhong Ziqi’s grandfather had only one son, Zhong Wansheng, who married his current wife and had two sons, Zhong Zhenping, the eldest, and Zhong Zhenhang, Zhong Ziqi’s father.
Zhong Ziqi’s father was a talented man who knew how to read and write, at that time, he had the reputation as a tóng shēng(candidate who has not yet passed the county level imperial exam) and he could have continued his studies to become a scholar.

But because the family had no money also at the same time, Zhong Zhenping was getting married,because the material needed for studying such as paper and ink were very costly, so the soft-hearted and credulous Zhong Wansheng listened to his eldest son to let Zhong Zhenhang quit school.
However, with his ability to read and write, he found a good job in the town. He married a beautiful Ger, Shen, who had fled from a foreign country,then he gave birth to Zhong Ziqi, a little Ger.
At this point, Zhong Ziqi had the urge to spit out once time, there are no women in this world, only people called Gers, who have a bright red vermilion mole in the middle between their eyebrows, they are responsible to marry and give birth to children, but Zhong Ziqi doesn’t care about that, he is gay himself, before he died he was attending the wedding party of his long-time crush. What he did care about was the fact that men could give birth to children?
He just wanted to say ‘funny’, can I just transmigrate back again? The image of himself with a big belly, sewing and mending at home was unbearable to watch, right? He was a seven-foot real man, so he was supposed to be on the battlefield, killing the enemy. …… Okay? It was a bit unreliable, but no matter what, he was still able to find a way to support the family. If he really wanted to get married in the future, he had to find someone who really liked him and listened to him, so he could avoid having children. Zhong Ziqi is very happy with himself that he has forgotten one truth — he can’t go against God’s will!
The plot turns back to the Zhao family. Not long ago, Zhong Zhenhang and Shen went out, not expecting to encounter a gang of savage bandits and ended up not returning. At the age of 16, Zhong Ziqi is left alone, becoming an orphan.
Zhong Zhenping married a Ger from the next village, Li Xiujuan. Before he got married, Li Xiujuan was gentle and lovely, but after he got married and had one son and one Ger, gradually his true form was revealed, his shrewdness became obvious. When Zhong Zhenhang was alive, he was able to keep a low profile therefore everyone could turn a blind eye whenever he took a little advantage and bully people.
Unexpectedly not even three months passed after Zhong Zhenhang died, Zhong Ziqi was immediately sold. In Li Xiujuan’s words, it was the right time and age to get married.He found a good family for Zhong Ziqi and received one tael of silver.
If it was a good family, then so be it, but the one he found for Zhong Ziqi was a fool from the village, a fool called Zhao Zhengan. He is seventeen years old and will soon be crowned (in ancient times, when a guy reached adulthood, there was a crown ceremony). He was originally not stupid, but clever and quick-witted, but when he went out to work, he accidentally fell on a rock then became a fool.
His stepmother, Wang, saw that the man who used to bring in money every day had become a medicine jar, the family now had to pay for his decoction and medicinal herbs, so he quit immediately.The family fortune was his son’s, so he came up with the bad idea of getting him a marriage and splitting him up to live alone.Zhao Zhengan’s father did not object since he was not happy to spend his money on a fool.
Thus, the unlucky Zhong Ziqi was unknowingly sold to a fool. By the time he found out it was too late, the whole village knew about it. Incredulously, he went to question his uncle and his grandparents then he found out that they too had already known about it,so he was the only one who was in the dark. His uncle even advised him to be open-minded and that he would definitely enjoy his marriage.
Looking at the ugly faces of this family, Just how long since his father and mother have been gone? Momentary, he felt deeply hurt, so much that he went to knock his own head against the brick wall. He was so downhearted, In addition to that they didn’t call a doctor to treat him but simply had his head bandaged. In the end, he came back to life as a modern-day Zhong Ziqi.
After reading these memory fragments, Zhong Ziqi let out a long sigh, after all, there is really no such things as the most deceiving but only more deceiving. This time, he didn’t even need to find a marriage partner himself, they just took care of it, think about it, it was so uncomfortable since the marriage partner is an idiot ah!
It seems that at the very least, he did not have to worry about his virginity and so on …
