Description
Gu Chen was once a big shot at the Transmigration Bureau. After experiencing 999 different worlds, he finally got to retire. He chose to return to a peaceful life and be an ordinary, unremarkable person. Thus, after marrying into the powerful Li family, he spent his days drinking tea and reading the newspaper, successfully becoming a completely inconspicuous marriage partner. Until— His husband’s younger brother’s company faced a crisis, and his husband was abroad. The younger brother came to him, handed him a suit, and begged him to stand in for his husband. With a sigh, he took off his silk loungewear, put on his gold-rimmed glasses, and attended the business negotiations. The next day, the younger brother secured the project. Offers flooded their mailbox, and headhunters bombarded the younger brother with calls. His husband’s sister’s film crew encountered a crisis when the actor playing the beloved immortal hero of the novel fandom dropped out. The sister came to him, handed him a long sword, and begged him to make a guest appearance in a few scenes. With a sigh, he donned wide-sleeved robes, his white attireoutshining snow, embodying the phrase “a sword of frost across fourteen provinces.” Once the behind-the-scenes photos were released, the entire internet went wild searching for this divine swordsman, and agents bombarded the sister with calls. While passing by the Li Corporation building to pick up an invitation, he encountered a hacker attack on the company’s website. He casually wrote a few lines of code to quickly resolve the issue. The vice president excitedly shook his hand: “Which department are you from? I want to give you a promotion and a raise!” Gu Chen smiled, “No need. After all, your boss goes to work every day just to earn money for me.” Li Tingqin married Gu Chen purely for business purposes, having heard that Gu Chen was introverted, extremely socially anxious, and very money-oriented. Li Tingqin thought these weren’t issues; it would be great if Gu Chen could just be a compliant ornament. However, after a three-month business trip abroad: His younger brother said, “Brother, when are you divorcing brother-in-law? Please don’t delay him from building a business empire!” His younger sister said, “Brother, when are you divorcing brother-in-law? Please don’t delay him from entering the entertainment industry!” His subordinate said, “Uh… Boss Li, maybe you should step down and let him take over.” Li Tingqin raised an eyebrow: “This is the introverted, extremely socially anxious, and very money-oriented person?” After returning home, he finally saw his marriage partner lounging in the garden, sunbathing. This marriage partner lazily extended a hand to him and said, “Boss Li, why haven’t you transferred my pocket money for this month yet?” Li Tingqin: “…” Content tags: Strong entertainment industry, sweet article, vest article , marriage first love later.

After the Marriage Between Passerby and Rich Boss Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on After the Marriage Between Passerby and Rich Boss
"After the Marriage Between Passerby and Rich Boss" sounded intriguing, and after diving in, I can see why it has such a solid rating. It's a fun, lighthearted read centered around a retired transmigrator, Gu Chen, who just wants to live a quiet life but keeps accidentally becoming a legend. The story blends romance, humor, and a touch of the extraordinary, creating a surprisingly enjoyable experience.
First Impressions
The premise alone hooked me. A powerful, experienced transmigrator choosing to retire as a "salted fish" cannon fodder character? Genius! The early chapters establish this perfectly, showing Gu Chen's attempts to remain low-key constantly backfiring in hilarious ways. The arranged marriage with the rich and powerful Li family head adds another layer of intrigue, setting the stage for a sweet and unexpected romance.
What Works Well
The dynamic between Gu Chen and his husband is definitely a highlight. Their relationship blossoms gradually, built on mutual respect and admiration. I particularly enjoyed the dramatic irony of the ML initially seeing Gu Chen as someone weak and needing protection, while the MC is secretly an OP powerhouse.
The humor is also spot-on. The misunderstandings and the way Gu Chen unintentionally solves problems while trying to stay out of the spotlight are genuinely funny. The side characters, despite some flaws (which I'll get to), contribute to the overall comedic effect. The whole "Mr. Gu" legend that builds around the MC is hilarious, especially the netizens' theories about his identity.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the lighthearted nature of the story, I can see why some readers might find it a bit too shallow. Gu Chen's character, while charming, could use more depth. Exploring his past experiences and origins would have added another layer to his personality.
Also, the side characters sometimes lack common sense and overstep boundaries, which can be frustrating. While this adds to the comedic effect, it can also detract from the overall enjoyment.

Final Verdict
Overall, "After the Marriage Between Passerby and Rich Boss" is a delightful and easy read. If you're looking for a story with a calm, charming protagonist, a sweet romance, and plenty of humor, I highly recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for some shallow character development and occasionally frustrating side characters. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
