The Family of Time Travel Has an Ugly Wife Novel

Shan Yu, accustomed to a life of privilege as the heir to a wealthy traditional Chinese medicine family, finds his world upended by time travel. Unexpectedly, he is forced to live with a man and his wife, a woman described as having a sallow complexion, thin skin, and ragged clothes, bearing a distinctive blood-red birthmark. This wife pleads with him, begging for forgiveness and referring to him as "Husband." Shan Yu becomes entangled in this new reality, perceived by others as a debaucherous individual who gambles, drinks, and abuses his wife. His immediate goals are survival, earning money, and establishing a medicine shop. He also aims to improve his wife's health and fulfill the role of a husband. However, Shan Yu questions his own identity as a heterosexual man in this situation, wondering if their cohabitation is merely a partnership based on mutual care. As his wife begins to transform and grow more beautiful, Shan Yu reflects on her initial appearance, realizing this is the narrative of a straight man who time-travels and adapts.
