My Husband is a Villainous Male Supporting Character

Zheng Shanci transmigrated into a novel—and became the cannon fodder husband of the villainous supporting role, Yu Lanyi. In the original plot, due to a twist of fate, the original Zheng Shanci married Yu Lanyi. After moving to a small county town, Yu Lanyi constantly ridiculed and looked down on his husband. In the end, the husband couldn’t take it anymore and conspired with his close confidant to kill Yu Lanyi. Now, Zheng Shanci finds himself caught in a scandal at a banquet—locked in the same room as Yu Lanyi. Yu Lanyi had planned to trap the male lead in a compromising situation with himself but ended up locking in the wrong person. With his sleeve covering his face, he glares at Zheng Shanci furiously. Amidst everyone’s accusations, Zheng Shanci grits his teeth and says: “I’ll marry him.” Zheng Shanci feels bitterness in his mouth. This person is the definition of a drama queen—a pampered noble heir of the Marquis household, arrogant and spoiled. Meanwhile, he himself is a third-rank scholar from a humble background, just about to take his post in a small county. They were to marry in the capital and then head off together to the rural county. Zheng Shanci: “…Well, this is going to be a wonderfully chaotic life.” *** Yu Lanyi, the legitimate young master of the Marquis of Changyang, is of noble birth. He prefers someone handsome, well-born, refined, and powerful. At first glance, he sets his sights on the male lead and tries to create a scandal at the banquet—arranging a situation where two men are caught alone together. But he locks in the wrong guy. Now, to protect his reputation, he has no choice but to reluctantly marry this poor scholar. Yu Lanyi: “But… he’s only a third-rank scholar!” And he’s expected to move to some remote county after the wedding?! He doesn’t want to suffer—he wants the good life! So Yu Lanyi leaves the capital in tears. Day 1 in the county: He falls ill from the climate. Day 2: He sees the poverty and accidentally eats a mouthful of sand. Day 3: He’s already withered. Weak and bedridden, Yu Lanyi lies in despair, no energy left. Yet his cheap husband is full of enthusiasm, checking in on him, behaving properly, and even refraining from sharing a bed. Yu Lanyi: “???” Soon, Yu Lanyi realizes this cheap husband of his might actually have potential. Everyone thought Yu Lanyi’s life was over—married off to the backwater countryside. They all mocked him. But in the end, every single one of them got a slap in the face.
