Description
As soon as Lin Ze opened his eyes in this parallel world, he found himself holding a young man. Thinking he was dreaming, Lin Ze decisively devoured the person in front of him, who seemed enticing. The next day, upon waking up, he realized that the “dream” was real! It turns out that the young man beside him is his husband, using modern terminology… Transported to a world as a destitute and foolish poor scholar, Lin Ze faces a fierce mother, a cunning younger brother, and a helpless original body that can’t shoulder responsibilities or lift a finger. Now, in order to please his “former lover turned future younger sibling,” he has to sell off his hardworking and capable husband. This infuriates Lin Ze, a single dog from the modern era. In his previous life, he never found a suitable bride until his death, and now this original body wants to sell off his wife? And the wife is an obedient, sensible, hardworking, and exceptionally beautiful young man who is perfect in his eyes. To sell off such a good wife, whom the original host doesn’t touch or like, is an earthly tragedy that he absolutely cannot tolerate! From then on, the sour scholar from Heba Village transforms into a knowledgeable, money-making expert who dotes on his wife, while also being an ambitious rural man. Villager A (in shock): He’s here again! That Lin guy from the Lin family is walking around with his wife and carrying his child. Everyone, quickly come up with words of praise for his wife and son, or we’ll be beaten again! Villagers (whimpering): Oh no, we have to come up with a different compliment every day, without repeating, racking our brains to bully people… Villager B (in awe): It’s over, it’s over! That Lin guy passed the imperial examination and has come back to our county to become the county magistrate. Everyone, quickly line up and clap your hands to welcome him, or else we’ll be beheaded! Villagers (whimpering): Oh no, why won’t this guy leave us alone… Note: Main focus: Fluffy romance! Mutual pampering between the seme and uke. Three genders: Ger, Woman, Man, in this world. Farming, business, and imperial examinations are included, but the power and nobility of the court are briefly mentioned. The main focus is on making money, building infrastructure, and pampering the husband.

My Thoughts on Earning a Living, Taking Examinations, and Supporting the Family Through the Rural Imperial Examinations System
This title is a mouthful, I know, but don't let that scare you away! "Earning a Living, Taking Examinations, and Supporting the Family Through the Rural Imperial Examinations System" offers a unique blend of slice-of-life, historical fiction, and a dash of fantasy that kept me entertained, even if it wasn't always smooth sailing.
First Impressions
Okay, I'll be honest, the beginning was a bit rough. Several readers mentioned the initial non-consensual encounter between the main characters, and I have to agree, it's handled clumsily. It definitely requires a strong stomach and the willingness to push past it, as it does get better. However, it's a significant hurdle for many, and understandably so.
What Works Well
Once I got past the initial hurdle, I found myself enjoying the story quite a bit. The world-building is surprisingly detailed, and I appreciated the author's efforts to create a believable alternate world with its own unique customs and social structures. The protagonist's journey from a struggling stall owner to a respected figure is compelling, and I enjoyed watching him develop his businesses, establish schools, and navigate complex family relationships.
I particularly liked the focus on slice-of-life aspects, such as the protagonist building infrastructure and mending relationships. The romance, once it gets going, is quite sweet and wholesome, with a doting protagonist and a supportive partner. The side characters are also well-developed, and I found myself invested in their stories as well.
Areas of Concern
Despite the enjoyable aspects, there are a few areas that gave me pause. The protagonist's "modern" values sometimes felt inconsistent, with a few readers pointing out instances of hypocrisy. The handling of slavery is also a sensitive topic, and some readers may find the protagonist's participation in the practice problematic.

If you're willing to overlook the problematic beginning and some inconsistencies in the protagonist's morality, you'll find a heartwarming and engaging story about family, community, and making a difference in the world. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
