Braving the Famine with My Wife (2026)

Way Better Than the Title

The supreme emperor of heaven came down to Earth and inhabited the body of a handsome, local vagabond. The supreme emperor had so little of his power and was always under threat from his heavenly wife, who wanted to kill him. There was a young woman who was in the vagabonds rundown shack, who said that she had been raped by a bandit(s). The crooked local law enforcement officers brought some young women to the vagabonds property to give to him, but he had to pay back with grain for the people of the city. The young women were mostly in their upper teens, one being the empress of the country. He took all of them as his wives. They were afraid of the vagabond (supreme emperor of heaven) and bonded together. There was a 5-year famine decreed by heaven, but the emperor of heaven had compassion for the people and caused it to rain. His wife in heaven tried to stop him from making it rain, but she failed. Later a woman who was considered a fairy, tricked one of the young wives out of the boundaries of the property, where the emperor of heaven had erected a protective energy shield. The fairy put a spell on the wife and when the male helper showed up, the fairy was attempting to end his life. The emperor of heaven stopped the fairy and removed her golden core. She was a normal human. The emperor of heaven gave her back her golden core and made her is maid. Later he gave his loyal fairy more power and eternal life; she became one of his earthly wives. The emperor of heaven took on all kinds of exciting challenges and ended up with 5 earthly wives. Each wife had at least one child. The emperor of heaven, his wives (not the heavenly wife) and the earthly children lived happily together as a family.

This drama is so underrated and should be rated much higher. It was exciting and very fulfilling to watch.
