Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 68 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (2)
After finishing the noodles, Lin Nan was about to take the bowl out to wash it when Sheng Yuan stopped her.
Sheng Yuan reached out and grasped his thin arm, while his other hand wrapped around his excessively slender waist, pulling him into his arms.
Lin Nan was caught off guard and fell onto He Xiucai, sitting on He Xiucai's lap, his head hitting He Xiucai's shoulder.
Caught off guard, she was surrounded by He Xiucai's aura, a faint medicinal scent.
Lin Nan was relieved that her stepmother had allowed her to wash her hair and take a shower when she came out after the unexpected intimate contact.
"Scholar He?" Lin Nan dared not move and could only ask.
“You should call me husband,” Sheng Yuan corrected him.
"Husband...husband?"
"Mmm. Don't move, let me hug you."
Lin Nan obeyed and didn't move, but this posture, this intimate contact...
The heat that had just subsided on Lin Nan's face returned.
Noticing that the person in his arms was stiff, Sheng Yuan gently stroked his back and coaxed him tenderly, "Don't be afraid, let me hug you."
It seemed that the words and actions had an effect, and the person in my arms slowly relaxed.
Sheng Yuan held the person in his arms, his hand gently stroking their hair, seemingly unintentionally.
My hair is a bit rough and split.
"Good boy." Sheng Yuan tightened his arms and sighed.
[Host, are you alright?]
Nuonuo noticed that her host's condition was not quite right and asked cautiously.
【I'm fine. 】
Sheng Yuan gently stroked Lin Nan's hair, but only he knew what he was thinking.
In his memory, his lover had closed her eyes in his arms three times. Watching his lover die was a very painful thing.
Lost and found, found and lost again, lost and found once more...
He knew perfectly well that this was the law of nature, and that only when his lover closed her eyes would he be one step closer to seeing her true form.
It's still very painful and I feel desperate.
But he had to take this path; he had to save him.
[Nuonuo transmits the storyline.]
[Yes, host. This time I personally went to see the Heavenly Dao of this world and brought back specially compiled information for you, which was specifically instructed by the director.]
This is the story of a time-traveling scholar who overcomes all obstacles to succeed in the imperial examinations. Gu Shuqiao, the general manager of a modern conglomerate, transmigrates into the body of a scholar named Gu Ze during the Liang Dynasty on an unfamiliar continent.
There are three genders here: men, young men, and women. Young men outwardly appear physically identical to men, but are generally slender and delicate, capable of bearing children, though their fertility is not as high as women's. In this era, only those who genuinely love a young man, or those who have no other choice but to marry a woman, will take him as a concubine. Ordinary families, even if they fancy a young man, will only take him into their household as a concubine.
After Gu Ze drowned and fell into a coma, the village came up with the idea of a "lucky marriage" for him. Since there was no arranged marriage and his relatives were extremely difficult, they bought him a young man—the protagonist, Shen Yunzhao—for this purpose. Shen Yunzhao wasn't like the typical delicate young man of this era; he was much stronger and more robust. Because of his amnesia, he was also very cautious and taciturn.
[The protagonist, Shen Yunzhao, was originally the legitimate son of the Duke of Shen's family. After being framed, he lost his memory. A human trafficker picked him up, finding him rugged and muscular, and initially disdainful. However, wanting to make some money, he hastily sold him before he died. His awful relative, Aunt Gu, paid the lowest price, thinking, "What does it matter? This man won't live much longer anyway, and I've done my part. I can even get ten taels of silver and a house left by Gu Ze's parents."]
[Gu Shuqiao, who was born gay, fell in love with Shen Yunzhao at first sight after waking up. Under Gu Shuqiao's persistent pursuit, the two married first and then fell in love, living happily ever after. Aunt Gu had a son who was a scholar, so Gu Shuqiao, to prove his aunt Gu's family wrong and protect Shen Yunzhao, continued the original owner's unfinished path of taking the imperial examinations.]
It was also on this road that Gu Shuqiao learned about Shen Yunzhao's background, and Shen Yunzhao regained her memories, returning to the Shen family to seek revenge. Through their combined efforts, Gu Shuqiao became the top scholar in the imperial examination, and Shen Yunzhao became the new Duke of Shen's Protector General.
After listening to the story, Sheng Yuan thought the protagonist was alright and hoped he wouldn't be two-faced.
[Host, do you accept the original owner's storyline?]
【Um. 】
As the story unfolded, Sheng Yuan closed his eyes.
The original owner was a scholar from the same village as Gu Ze, named He Zhao, courtesy name Shengyuan, twenty-two years old. In this village, only the original owner and Gu Ze's aunt's son, Gu Cheng, were scholars. The original owner had just passed the imperial examination when his parents passed away one after another, turning a joyous occasion into a tragedy. He observed three years of mourning, selling the ancestral noodle shop left by his parents to support himself.
The original owner was not good at business and felt that keeping the ancestral noodle shop was useless to him, so he decided to let someone more capable run it and use the money from selling the shop to study, avoiding the taint of money. The shop sold for eighty taels of silver, and the original owner had only one thing on his mind: studying. Therefore, he spent most of the money on writing materials, planning to take the imperial examinations after the mourning period.
The original owner fainted on the back mountain because she was worried about not having enough money for the imperial examinations. She saw a very expensive medicinal herb on a tree and remembered seeing it before when she went up the mountain with her father, so she went to find it alone. However, she didn't find the herb and instead heard the sound of wild boars. Terrified, she instinctively backed away, but lost her footing and tumbled into a ditch. She was rescued by a hunter named Zheng who was chasing the boar.
[In the original timeline, He Zhao also awakens and is furious to learn that the village chief has arranged a marriage for him with a young man. He outwardly treats Lin Nan gently, but privately beats and verbally abuses him, treating him like a slave. Later, when he takes Lin Nan to the county town for school, He Zhao still treats him like a servant. The county magistrate's youngest son unexpectedly takes a liking to Lin Nan, and He Zhao, for his own benefit, sends Lin Nan to the magistrate's mansion as a concubine, thus freeing himself from this lowly husband. Lin Nan eventually dies in the mass grave where the county magistrate's mansion dumps his body.]
[The protagonist accidentally discovered Lin Nan's birthmark. After regaining his memories, he told the emperor about it. Upon learning that his lost youngest son had suffered such humiliation, and since He Zhao had no other relatives, the emperor sentenced He Zhao to death by a thousand cuts. Because of this incident, the emperor showed Shen Yunzhao much favor.]
Sheng Yuan was furious after hearing these stories.
Where is He Zhao's soul?
[He is imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao of this world. After the host fully integrates with him, he will be sent to be reincarnated according to the normal procedure.]
【reincarnation?】
[Host, please calm down. I'll go and communicate with the Heavenly Dao to get it to consider this carefully!]
Nuonuo was a little scared when she saw her host's appearance, so she quickly ran away.
Lin Nan felt Sheng Yuan's arms around his waist tightening, becoming somewhat constricting.
"Husband?"
Lin Nan couldn't help but remind him.
Sheng Yuan realized what was happening when he heard his voice and loosened his grip.
"Lin Nan, I liked you very much the moment I saw you. Now I have no parents and am not wealthy. Would you be willing to stay with me, to stay with each other for life, to be one person for all eternity? Is that alright?"
Sheng Yuan said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nan's mind went blank; he couldn't process it at all.
Sheng Yuan wasn't in a hurry; he held the person and waited for his answer.
"……it is good."
Lin Nan agreed, and many people envied her for being able to marry He Xiucai.
However, He Xiucai was injured in an accident and fell into a coma. The doctor said he might not wake up. His sister was unwilling to marry into the family and live a life of widowhood, so it was He Xiucai's turn.
He benefited from being a child of the Lin family.
Now that Scholar He has said this, he can't help but believe that perhaps his suffering has truly come to an end?
Upon hearing his reply, Sheng Yuan gently patted his head and said, "It will be alright. We will always be happy. I promise you."
Shengyuan played with his hand, stroking the red butterfly birthmark on the back of his hand again and again.
Several scars remain on the birthmark, which look like they were cut with a knife.
His hands had many thick calluses, his fingers were rough, and his skin was neither fair nor a healthy wheatish complexion; it must have been tanned.
Sheng Yuan was very sad and heartbroken.
Just then, Nuonuo returned with the results.
[Host, the Heavenly Dao says this person has been sent to the Lustful Demon King's Garden in the Eighteenth Level of Hell. Are you satisfied with this result?]
Eight ghost kings reside in the eighteen levels of hell. Among them, the Lustful Ghost King's Yi Fang Yuan is run by female lustful ghosts, much like a brothel in some small worlds. However, there is no mercy here. The female lustful ghosts here all have some quirks, and they have great stamina. They only care about their own pleasure and don't care about the people beneath them. All the souls that enter Yi Fang Yuan for the female ghosts to enjoy can only watch themselves being defiled and slowly disappear. For those who consider themselves superior, this is definitely the most torturous place.
This can be considered an eye for an eye.
【Um. 】
[Host, would you like to view the character information of the Master in this world?]
