The New World evolved from a book called "The City Lord is Not to be Trifled With".
The male protagonist, Shen Huaixu, was originally the young lord of Qingzhou, but due to a feud between his mother and a concubine, he was tragically replaced by a cat.
The concubine's child became the young city lord, while he was abandoned by the concubine on the roadside and found by a childless couple in Cangwu County, who raised him.
The couple initially treated him very well, but later, after they had their own child, they began to dislike Jiang Huaixu and made things difficult for him in every way.
Being constantly hungry and cold, having to do laundry and chores for his family in the dead of winter, and being beaten and scolded at the drop of a hat became the norm for Shen Huaixu.
When Shen Huaixu was ten years old, he was beaten so badly by his adoptive parents that he almost died.
Fortunately, Shen Huaixu did not die; he pulled through. However, he was left with chronic illnesses as a result. He was very weak and would fall ill whenever the weather changed. Moreover, it would be difficult for him to have any more children.
In the east of the city lived a wealthy family with two daughters: one gentle, virtuous, kind, and beautiful, and the other shrewish, arrogant, and ugly.
The beautiful woman makes donations every month, and the people of Cangwu praise her highly; she is seen as a living bodhisattva.
The ugly one oppressed the people, and everyone avoided him like the plague.
The beautiful girl, fifteen years old, had suitors flocking to her door.
The ugly one, over eighteen years old, has yet to find a husband.
As he grew older, his parents spent a lot of money to find him a husband.
Obviously, Shen Huaixu, who had no status at home, was naturally pushed forward. Shen Huaixu's adoptive parents kept the secret that he was not easy to have children, making him a despised son-in-law.
Looking at the plot, Nan Zhi asked, "Am I the beautiful young lady who's going to steal Shen Huaixu away to be my husband?"
003: [You're the ugly one.]
Nanzhi's mouth is crooked.
Money is hard to earn and life is tough.
The original owner was criticized for his ugly appearance, which led to a twisted mentality and an inability to tolerate good-looking people.
After Shen Huaixu became the son-in-law of the Nan family, he was beaten, scolded, and forced to kneel by the original owner of the body because of his handsome face.
But the male lead is the male lead after all. Two years later, the affair of the concubine replacing the crown prince was exposed, and Shen Huaixu was taken back to become the young city lord. The first person he dealt with was the original owner of the body.
The original owner suffered a tragic end, going from a high-class young lady to a lowly maid in the city lord's mansion who was hated by everyone. Shen Huaixu returned everything he had suffered to her tenfold or a hundredfold.
Before this, the original owner's younger sister, Nan Wan, had been very kind to Shen Huaixu while she was in the manor. She would often bring him medicine for his injuries and would also try to dissuade the original owner from bullying Shen Huaixu.
Shen Huaixu gradually grew fond of this gentle and kind woman.
But after Nan Wan died, he turned completely evil, becoming eccentric and sinister, and no one dared to provoke him.
Nan Zhi's task is still to reduce his corruption level and have children with him.
Nanzhi watched the plot again and understood.
Well, figure out a way to get pregnant with his child, then rescue Nan Wan and give her to him as his wife. She can run away while pregnant—it's perfect.

"Miss!!!"
As soon as Nanzhi opened her eyes, she heard a burst of excited mooing from the cows.
The birds perched in the trees were startled by the sound and scattered in all directions.
Caught off guard by the deafening sound, Nan Zhi's head was buzzing and she felt a bit of tinnitus.
She looked toward the source of the sound and saw a maid as strong as an ox running in from outside, her presence causing the earth to shake.
She remembered; this was the original owner's maid and bodyguard—Niu Niu.
Niu Niu has a very distinctive appearance: a plate-shaped face, squinty eyes, a big mouth, and when it runs, it breathes heavily through its nose, just like a big, fat cow.
When she ran up to Nanzhi, Nanzhi subconsciously moved to another chair.
That was close; I almost got knocked away by her.
"Miss, that little wretch refuses to wear mourning clothes for Wangcai. You must go and teach him a lesson."
The little bastard should be Shen Huaixu.
What's the story behind dressing Wangcai in mourning clothes?
[Wangcai was your dog, you called him your dog son. This morning he accidentally fell into the river and drowned. You were very sad, so you asked Shen Huaixu to wear mourning clothes for him.]
Nan Zhi: ...The original owner seems to have really been a bit of a scoundrel.
Nanzhi didn't even have time to see what she looked like now before following Niu Niu to the mourning hall that had been set up for Wangcai.
At that time, Shen Huaixu had been forced by his servants to wear mourning clothes, but he still had some backbone and refused to kneel before the coffin containing Wangcai's body.
The original owner's parents felt sorry for her because of her face, so they spoiled her and let her do whatever she wanted.
From afar, Nanzhi could see a tall, slender man standing in the mourning hall. Even though he was being forced to kneel by the servants, he refused to do so.
In the original storyline, after Niu Niu called the heartbroken original owner over, the original owner immediately ordered someone to break Shen Huaixu's legs.
Although things got better later, Shen Huaixu's hatred for the original owner could never be erased.
The servant menacingly pressed Shen Huaixu down, shouting, "Kneel down! I told you to kneel down, didn't you hear me?"
Suddenly a clear, crisp sound came from not far away.
"Let him go."
The servant looked up, saw Nan Zhi, and quickly released Shen Huaixu, stepping aside.
Nan Zhi only realized how nice the original owner's voice was after she finished speaking; it was clear, melodious, and like a lark.
Niu Niu saw that Nan Zhi had the servant release Shen Huaixu, so she must be preparing to deal with him herself.
She kindly handed him a wooden stick.
"Miss, hit him! Beat him to death!"
Seeing Niu Niu stirring things up, Nan Zhi couldn't help but rub her temples.
Loyalty is good, but mindless loyalty will only push your master into the abyss of hell.
