A popular Xiangsheng¹Xiangsheng also known as crosstalk or comic dialog, is a traditional performing art in Chinese comedy and one of the most popular elements in Chinese culture. performer Mo Songyan traveled back to ancient times. He thought that he was Long Aotian²Long Aotian refers to a character who effortlessly defeats all opponents and wins everything easily., but to his surprise, he was facing a situation where his stepmother was not kind, his father did not love him, and his family was in turmoil. Fortunately, he has a beautiful husband, but unfortunately, he can’t speak.

Xiao Changyu had stuttered since childhood and often pretended to be mute to avoid being laughed at.

His parents coveted the dowry of the Mo family and married him off to Mo Songyan.

Shortly after marriage, their stepmother kicked them out of the house under the excuse of splitting the family in order to seize the family’s wealth.

The two of them roamed the streets with nothing, so how could Mo Songyan bear to let the beauty share his hardship?

Looking at his husband, who is as proud and soft as a cat, he decided to return to his old job as a Xiangsheng performer.

So what if there’s no Xiangsheng in this dynasty? Just invent a lofty and distinguished background for it.

So what if he was excluded by his peers? He will strike back at them with dimensionality reduction, letting them accept the defeat with conviction.

What should you do if your stepmother maliciously frames you? Use public opinion to send the evildoer to jail.

……

As he works hard, his husband’s attitude towards him also changed—

At first, when he told jokes, Xiao Changyu either rolled his eyes or shed tears.

Mo Songyan: Is this Mariana Trench of his career?³“Mariana Trench” is the deepest known part of the world’s oceans. Metaphorically, it means the absolute bottom or lowest point of one’s career, a state of extreme failure, rock-bottom performance, or utter lack of success. Mo Songyan interprets this as his joke-telling skills being at the lowest possible point, the Mariana Trench of his joke-telling career.?

Later, when he told a joke, Xiao Changyu’s rolled eyes turned into a look of feigned annoyance.

Mo Songyan: How can this glance make people feel ecstatic?

Later still, a fervent fan cornered him against a wall, and just as he was about to push them away, his husband walked in on them.

Xiao Changyu, who was furious, blurted out: “Divorce!”

Mo Songyan hurriedly chased after him: “Brother Xiao, it’s a misunderstanding! Eh? No, you can talk?”

How could he bear to divorce?

It was only after he coaxed the person back that he realized that Xiao Changyu was not mute but had a stutter.

So, Mo Songyan began teaching Xiao Changyu pronunciation skills to help him overcome his stuttering disorder.

With his efforts, Xiao Changyu was finally able to speak fluently.

One day, the mountains and forests were covered with bright red maple leaves.

The two stood facing each other, their breaths mingling. Mo Songyan asked, “Brother Xiao, who am I to you?”

Xiao Changyu blushed. “Fujun⁴Husband.”

Mo Songyan continued to ask, “What else?”

Xiao Changyu’s ears were flushed red. “Xianggong⁵Xianggong also means husband, but in a more formal and respectful way..”

Mo Songyan smiled evilly and asked again, “What else?”

Xiao Changyu suddenly raised his eyebrows and pecked him lightly, “Laogong⁶Laogong also means husband, it’s informal and is used by women to address their husband in a casual or intimate manner..”
