Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

It has been fifteen years since Wang Ruiyan came to this world. Her memory of the modern times is a little vague, but it still seems like yesterday.

She understood the restrictions placed on women in this era, but still wanted to do something.

But getting married was something she couldn't refuse no matter what.

Choosing a good husband is the second life of women in this era. If you choose well, you will live comfortably, but if you choose badly, your life will be worse than death.

Wang Ruiyan knew it and accepted her fate. She was not so stupid as to think that she could completely change the world by herself.

Moreover, the business and changes she wants to make in the future will require the support of a strong husband's family.

Otherwise, your life and money may fall into the mouths of others and be wasted.

Even though her father is the current Minister of Rites, and even though she is deeply loved.

After all, she is just a married daughter, and no matter how favored she is, it is impossible for her to return to her parents' home every day.

Therefore, when it came to choosing a husband, Wang Ruiyan was as careful and cautious as possible. She even asked her cousin for portraits of several potential candidates so she could get to know them and learn a lot about their personalities and behaviors.

Even if it gets out and people laugh at you one day, it's better than marrying the wrong man.

What's more, she is so cautious.

Wu'an Hou's eldest son Lu Mingyun was also on Wang Ruiyan's selection list. He was very good in terms of age, appearance, knowledge and family background.

However, he already had a wife, but she was a man’s wife, which was not recognized by the laws of the Li Kingdom.

There are many rumors about this man’s wife.

Some say that Lu Mingyun loved his male wife so much that he took on such great pressure to persuade Marquis Wu'an to marry her home.

Some say that Lu Mingyun is just a homosexual and that marrying a man is a way of telling everyone that he likes men.

Some people also said that the identity of the man Lu Mingyun married was not simple, and that she forced Lu Mingyun to marry her.

There were also some weird and supernatural ones that Wang Ruiyan was too lazy to even look at.

Just listen to these statements, otherwise your brain will be eaten away.

However, Wang Ruiyan really couldn't understand why Lu Mingyun married a man, and this reason was kept very secret by the Marquis' Mansion.

Therefore, Wang Ruiyan did not use this incident as an assessment of this object, but paid more attention to Lu Mingyun's character and personality.

"Oh..." Wang Ruiyan sighed when she thought of this.

Thinking of Lu Mingyun's fierce look today, Wang Ruiyan was a little disappointed.

Although Lu Baiyu did go too far, he really looked like he was going to hit someone.

In a sense, Lu Mingyun's attitude also shows that his wife is very important to him.

If that’s the case, I need to think about this marriage again.

"Miss, it's late, you should get some rest quickly. If Madam knew you were staying up so late, she would blame you."

Qiuxiang's voice came from outside the house. She was Wang Ruiyan's maid, and she specially gave her the name Qiuxiang.

"Hey, let's go to sleep now." Wang Ruiyan said as she put away the portrait and hid it.

Then the candle was blown out, smoke drifted up, and the room was plunged into darkness.

====

"Guozi, I can't write anymore!" Li Mofu lay down on the yellow flowered armchair, leaning against the pillow and crying, "Listening to books is boring, writing books is boring too, how can I be so bored?"

Seven days have passed since Lu Mingyun promised Li Mofu that he would let him go out in two months.

During these seven days, Li Mofu was very well behaved, but today his good behavior was exhausted.

Because Li Mofu was stuck on the second chapter where the hero and heroine met, Li Mofu simply stopped writing.

Yes, I wrote two chapters in seven days, which is amazing.

Guozi was sitting aside sorting out the books that Lu Mingyun had sent him. There were two boxes in total, all of which were the leisure books that Lu Mingyun had read before.

Guozi was already used to Li Mofu's behavior, and she comforted him with her usual words, "The young master has already had someone order some fishing gear. When the time comes, we'll stock the pond in the West Garden with some fish for you to fish for fun."

Li Mofu responded in a drawn-out tone, then moved the pillow to the right. He turned over, put his legs on the left, and slumped into the armchair.

"The New Year is coming in a few days, right?" Li Mofu said, looking at the part of the screen that was exposed behind the back of the chair.

Guozi put the books on the bookshelf and said, "Yes, sir, there are only six days left until New Year's Eve."

"It has nothing to do with me, right?" Li Mofu asked.

"..." Guozi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and glanced at Li Mofu cautiously, "Then you may have to stay in the courtyard."

Li Mofu didn't care. "That's fine. Can we add more dishes then?"

"Of course, we will add one to three dishes during the Chinese New Year," Guozi said with a smile.

Li Mofu nodded in satisfaction, "Mo Yi went to look for his young master again?"

"The young master sent someone to find him, probably with instructions." Guozi explained.

"Yeah." Li Mofu replied randomly, "I'm going to take a walk in the West Garden after lunch."

"it is good."

After lunch, Guozi accompanied Li Mofu to stroll around the West Garden two or three times. Li Mofu went back only after he was sweating a little.

After returning, Li Mofu lay in the rocking chair and ate preserved fruits. He had stopped taking medicine these days, but he was still given sweet preserved fruits every day.

From time to time, a few birds flew in and out of the trees in the yard, chirping and circling around Li Mofu's head.

"Young master, have some tea." Seeing that he was eating candied fruits, Guozi poured him a cup of hot tea.

Li Mofu blew on the tea several times with his pouting lips before taking a sip. Guozi always liked to pour hot tea for him, saying that tea made with cold water would cool down quickly.

As the tea got cold, Li Mofu stopped drinking it.

Li Mofu could still drink a few more sips of the hot drink.

"Sir, there are some travel notes and memoirs in the book that the young master brought. Would you like to take a look at it?" Guozi asked.

Li Mofu swung his feet and looked at the sky. It was still very early.

It's a boring day. At least reading a book won't make it so boring.

"Okay." Li Mofu agreed happily.

Afterwards, Li Mofu covered himself with a blanket and began to read a book in a rocking chair. If he didn't understand something, he would ask Guozi, and Guozi would tell him everything he knew.

At this time, Mo Yi came back from the next yard, and Li Mofu looked up.

He saw that Mo Yi was holding something in his hand.

Li Mofu's eyes seemed to be glued to it, his intuition told him that this must be food!

"Mr. Li, when the young master went to Wangyue Tower for a drink, he ordered an extra snack for you. It's already heated up, so please eat it quickly."

As soon as Mo Yi approached, Li Mofu smelled a fragrance.

"It smells so good." Li Mofu said after putting down the book.

Mo Yi placed the snacks wrapped in oil paper on the small table, unwrapped them, revealing ten yellow and purple snacks.

"Is Wangyue Tower a brothel?" Li Mofu asked curiously, picking up a piece.

The yellow pastry is salty and delicious. It tastes like salted egg yolk and is filled with jam. It has a bit of grape flavor, but not as sweet as grape jam.

Mo Yi was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head, "Of course not, it's just an ordinary restaurant."

Li Mofu ate a piece and found that these snacks were really delicious, not as strange as he had imagined.

The purple pastry also tastes like salted egg yolk, but I don’t know what natural dye it was dyed with to change its color.

"This snack is delicious." Li Mofu ate half of it in one go.

After finishing his meal, he lay down to read again, but asked, "The restaurant is also a great place for a romantic encounter. Do you think I can go shopping there after I get out?"

"...Of course you can visit the Moon Watching Tower." Mo Yi said dully.

Li Mofu nodded, his eyes rolling around. When he went out, it didn't matter where he went.

On the second day, Lu Mingyun brought the fishing gear over. After Li Mofu had his meal, he took his fishing rod and went to the West Garden to fish.

Mo Yi followed behind carrying a rocking chair, and Guozi also carried a bundle of blankets.

In winter, the pond was naturally covered with a layer of ice, but it was not thick. Li Mofu hit a stone and made a hole in it.

Speaking of fishing, Li Mofu actually doesn't know how to do it and has never fished before, but he is bored and decides to try it out.

There were no new fish in the pond yet, and Li Mofu had no idea what he would be able to catch.

I just feel like this makes me look free.

He was busy working here, Mo Yi and Guozi were helping him, and the sound of laughter could be heard from time to time.

There was no one else in the entire West Garden except the three of them. Ever since Lu Baiyu was sent to his grandmother's side, everyone in the mansion knew that Master Li Mofu was "in favor".

But some people just didn't believe it and insisted on seeing it with their own eyes.

Hongdou hid in the corners of the West Garden and peeked out. She knew Mo Yi and knew that he was the guard who had followed the young master since he was a child.

Unexpectedly, the young master really left Mo Yi to Li Mofu.

Hongdou frowned. Her eyebrows were a little light, and because she had been worried for the past few months, there was a deep sadness between her eyebrows.

She listened to the man's unbridled laughter, watched him jump up excitedly because he caught a small fish, and saw his happy and cheerful smile.

He is just an ordinary-looking guy with a stiff figure, so how could the young master fall in love with him?

Hongdou hid behind the bamboo forest, puzzled.

There were many things she didn't understand.

For example, why the young master doesn't want to see her anymore.

For example, why did Aunt Bai look so miserable even though she was pregnant?

For example, why can a man like Li Mofu become the young master's wife?

Hongdou looked for a while and then left. If she stood there for too long, Mo Yi would notice her.

Hongdou left the West Garden and walked slowly towards her own courtyard. She hadn't seen the young master for a long time.

She was older than the young master and would age easily, so her youth was short, so short that it would pass before she could even think about the future.

Hongdou has been a concubine for several years, but has never been pregnant. She saw a doctor, who said that she was too weak to get pregnant.

Besides, the young master doesn't come to her place either.

But she wanted a child.

"Red Bean Miss."

A slightly older female voice came.

Hongdou was stunned for a moment before turning around. After seeing who it was, she was a little surprised. "Madame Wang?"

Nanny Wang was dressed much better than her, so Hongdou lowered her eyes and saluted with a sense of inferiority.

"Oh, Miss Hongdou!" Nanny Wang walked over with a cheerful smile and held Hongdou's hand.

Hongdou was flattered. "Madame Wang, what can I do for you?"

"Hahaha," Nanny Wang squinted her eyes and smiled at her, "Let's get straight to the point, Hongdou, do you want a child?"

Hongdou suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Nanny Wang.

The next day, Li Mofu woke up, stretched himself and went to tease the small black fish he had caught yesterday.

He placed the little black fish in a large tank, and when summer came he planted some lotus flowers in the tank, which was very beautiful.

The little black fish felt like it was about to turn over.

"Young Master! Why did you come out without putting on your clothes again!" Guozi put down the broom and hurried over.

"Yeah, right away." Li Mofu immediately turned around and went back to his room to put on his clothes.

After breakfast, Li Mofu went up to the second floor study to read.

After watching for an hour, I felt tired and ran out to rest.

He stood on the second floor and looked around, his gaze paused when he saw something.

"Guozi, look over there, is there a woman in red looking at me?" Li Mofu pointed at a place and asked.
