Description
Liu Shu, the leader of the top four dandies in Jiangnan, spent his days in leisure, enjoying tea and wine without any seriousness. Upon learning of his engagement to the second son of the Shen family in the capital city, he wrapped up his belongings and ran away to a faraway place. Unexpectedly, his journey didn’t go well, and he encountered mountain bandits. Disheveled and in tatters, he knocked on the door of a farmer’s house. When a man in coarse linen clothing opened the door and their eyes met… Oh no, Liu Shu thought, pressing his chest; he’s quite handsome! —Liu Shu saw a man who only existed in novels for the first time. Despite being impoverished, he was pure and unaffected, and even in dire circumstances, he remained elegant. Even when squatting by the chicken coop to look for eggs, he maintained his grace. Liu Shu was deeply attracted to him. To pursue the man and live a good life, he resolutely took on the family’s heavy burden. He farmed the fields, weaved cloth, carried water, and irrigated the garden, making this already less wealthy family even more prosperous. Liu Shu: =.= Strange, the more he cultivates this land, the poorer it becomes, but why is life getting richer and richer? —One day, Liu Shu decided to confess, “My dear, actually, my father is the richest man in Jiangnan, and I have an unreliable engagement. I’m supposed to marry the conservative and old-fashioned second son of the Shen family in the capital. He probably knows nothing, not diligent in physical labor nor knowledgeable in agriculture, and definitely not as good as you~” After saying this, he fell into a strange silence for a moment. “…I am the second son of the Shen family.” “?” “Also, who is ‘My dear’?” “???”

My Thoughts on Dandy Escapes From Marriage
"Dandy Escapes From Marriage" promised a lighthearted escape, and for the most part, it delivered. I found myself charmed by the simple premise and the blossoming romance between the two leads. This novel is a sweet vanilla ice cream on a hot summer day, a refreshing and fun read that really surprised me.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a little hesitant. The idea of another "escape from marriage" plot felt a bit bland. However, the overwhelming positive sentiment surrounding the characters and the comedic elements convinced me to give it a try. I'm glad I did!
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its characters and its lighthearted tone. Liu Shu is undeniably adorable, and Shen Ke is a genuinely sweet and caring male lead. I really enjoyed watching them navigate the challenges of village life, learning to do chores and make friends. The humor is definitely a highlight. The misunderstandings are hilarious, and the reveal of their hidden identities is particularly well-executed. I also appreciated the cameos from characters from other novels – a delightful surprise for fans of the author! The romance is cute and wholesome, and I loved how the protagonist fell in love first. It's a pure-hearted slice of life that's perfect for a casual read.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can see why some readers might find the initial chapters a bit slow. The first 20 chapters focus heavily on the characters' financial struggles, which can feel a bit tedious. Their rich backgrounds are practically useless at first.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Dandy Escapes From Marriage" is a delightful and heartwarming read. If you're looking for a simple, sweet, and funny novel with likeable characters and a charming slice-of-life setting, I highly recommend giving it a try.
