Chapter 1

"Ah, if being handsome is a crime, then I have committed a heinous sin. If being cool is a mistake, then I have made mistake after mistake. Being a handsome guy is really damn stressful..."

At the edge of a small river outside Taiping Village, Chen Xuan lowered his head and looked at his own reflection in the water, a young and somewhat delicate face, with a hint of handsomeness.

He even struck a cool pose, then looked around, and when he saw no one, he let out a stream of water.

Just as he finished, a woman in her forties carrying a hoe and a teenage girl around sixteen or seventeen walked over. Seeing this, Chen Xuan immediately pulled up his pants and greeted them enthusiastically, "Aunt Wang, are you heading to the fields? Oh, Xiao Ying is here too. I'll help you with the work."

Seeing this little rascal, Aunt Wang quickened her steps, "It's Chen Xuan. No need."

Before she finished speaking, she had already pulled the young girl away, almost out of sight.

"Damn, am I that scary? It's just because I peeked at your Xiao Ying taking a bath last time!" Chen Xuan was annoyed and muttered as he walked towards Taiping Village.

"Xiao Ying, stay away from that little rascal in the future, understand?" On the road not far away, Aunt Wang warned her daughter, who was as fresh as a flower. That little rascal was a menace to Taiping Village, and no girl in the village had escaped his tricks, like holding hands or kissing.

At such a young age, he was even more eager than the old men.

Several times, he even led a group of village children to spy on Widow Wang taking a bath, then slipped away first, leaving the children to be beaten by Widow Wang.

Therefore, in Taiping Village, Chen Xuan was one of the least popular people.

But what could they do? This guy had two beautiful mistresses. Not only were they beautiful, but one of them was a skilled doctor, and the villagers had to seek her help for any illnesses. The other, though seemingly delicate, could fend off several strong men. Over the years, almost all the old bachelors in the village who had designs on them had been beaten up.

Because of this, although the villagers disliked Chen Xuan, they mostly turned a blind eye to him and just stayed away when they saw him.

On the way back to the village, Chen Xuan looked at the admission notice in his hand and muttered to himself, "Dongling University, not the top university in the country, but it's not bad. I hope the two mistresses will like it."

Just as he said this, he slipped on the muddy path and fell, tearing his pants in the crotch!

Chen Xuan was startled, quickly got up, and checked below, thinking it was fine as long as his testicles weren't damaged.

"Phew, they're still there..." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Soon, Chen Xuan returned home. He and his two mistresses lived at the end of Taiping Village in a mud-brick house, like most of the other houses in the village.

"First Mistress, Second Mistress, I'm back!" He called out loudly.

"What are you shouting for? Do you think I'm deaf?" A woman in her thirties walked out of the house. She was dressed simply, with long hair casually tied up, and she was tall, about 1.75 meters. Her face was stunningly beautiful, even without makeup, she was more beautiful than the actresses on TV.

Seeing such a rare beauty in a remote village was rarer than a panda.

The woman was Lin Suyi, Chen Xuan's first mistress, who was thirty years old.

Chen Xuan grinned, "First Mistress, I just wanted to let you know in case you were taking a bath."

"Get lost, do you think I'm Widow Wang, who would let you peek at me taking a bath?" Lin Suyi rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you go to get your admission notice? Show it to me."

Chen Xuan handed the admission notice to Lin Suyi.

"Dongling University..." Lin Suyi frowned. Chen Xuan quickly explained, "Mistress, I didn't want to be too far away from you. Dongling University is in our Jiangzhou, so I can come back to visit the two of you often."

Lin Suyi remained silent, and Chen Xuan felt uneasy. Despite his fearlessness in the village, he instinctively feared his two beautiful mistresses.

After a long pause, Lin Suyi said, "Dongling University is fine. You have a marriage arrangement in Dongling. This time, you can meet the family. When I saved their head, they insisted on this marriage. If they are acceptable, don't let them down. And your Ninth Mistress is in Dongling..."

"Marriage arrangement?" Chen Xuan was stunned; he had never known he had a fiancée.

"Go and meet them. I saved their head, and they insisted on this marriage. If they are acceptable, don't let them down. And your Ninth Mistress is in Dongling..."

" Ninth Mistress is in Dongling!" Chen Xuan's eyes lit up. Apart from his First and Second Mistresses, he had never met the other seven mistresses, but his First and Second Mistresses often mentioned them, saying they were all stunningly beautiful.

He heard that his Ninth Mistress was in business, with a fortune of millions, his Eighth Mistress had entered the entertainment industry and was a famous star in the country, his Seventh Mistress, though young, was the head of the country's special operations bureau, and his Sixth Mistress was the most learned, a professor at a university in the country.

As for his Fifth Mistress, he heard she was a descendant of the royal family, but he knew little about her.

And his Fourth and Third Mistresses, he had never heard much about them, making them very mysterious!

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt a bit excited.

Lin Suyi threw the notice back to Chen Xuan and walked into the house, saying, "Decide to leave tomorrow. Don't stay and harm the village girls."

"So soon..." Chen Xuan looked at Lin Suyi's slender back with a pained expression.

"What, are you reluctant to leave us two beautiful mistresses?" After Lin Suyi went inside, another woman walked out. She was petite, about 1.7 meters tall, leaning lazily against the door of the mud-brick house. Her eyes, full of temptation, were a natural enemy to any man, and one glance could make anyone fall into them.

This was Chen Xuan's Second Mistress, Zhao Nanchu. Despite her petite and delicate appearance, her skills and beauty were equally formidable, always making Chen Xuan shudder.

Looking at her smiling eyes, Chen Xuan swallowed and took a step back, covering his crotch and said guardedly, "Second Mistress, what do you want?"
