The Qiao family is known for a pair of famous cousins. The elder cousin, Qiao Xingsheng, is the only scholar in the area, while the younger cousin, Qiao Yue, is one of the laziest men around. Qiao Yue’s biggest wish is to live a carefree life, relying on his brother for support.
One day, a beautiful young man stopped Qiao Yue, blushing as he handed him a pouch. Qiao Yue was about to take it, his face turning red, when he heard the young man, Fang Chuyue, call him “Qiao Scholar.” His heart shattered into pieces!
Angry, Qiao Yue cursed and swore. From then on, whenever he saw that young man, he wanted to turn and leave. But fate had other plans, and Fang Chuyue kept appearing in front of him.
Some time later, a friend had a joyous occasion. Qiao Yue, armed with his golden finger, thought he would shine, only to find himself trapped in a room with Fang Chuyue. With everyone watching, Qiao Yue had no choice but to marry the ambitious young man with tears in his eyes. At worst, after marriage, he could bring his husband along to rely on his cousin.
A few days after the wedding, the old Qiao family, who swore never to split the family, surprisingly agreed to it! A gold-digging husband, a young brother, a kind-hearted little father… The lazy man felt like the sky was falling on him!
Fang Chuyue, born into poverty but blessed with good looks, had always aimed to rise above others, striving to climb the social ladder every day. After failing to attach himself to the son of a county shopkeeper, Fang Chuyue decided to set his sights on a promising scholar. Who would have thought he’d make a blunder and mistake someone else for him? That man, tall and handsome, turned out to be a lazy man who wouldn’t even lift a finger!
Determined to make something of himself, Fang Chuyue ended up marrying the lazy man by chance! Regretting his decision, he packed his small bag and followed the lazy man into a life of hardship. Firewood, rice, oil, and salt, three meals a day; floods, earthquakes, and natural disasters; children and husband…
Fang Chuyue patted his husband beside him, pretending to be casual: “Husband, I really liked that card you mentioned last time.” Qiao Yue liked it too. It was a super rare hidden card that could drop mysterious items. Who wouldn’t like it, but it’s so hard to get!
Looking at his husband’s sparkling eyes, what else could Qiao Yue do but spend money on it?
One day, two big shots came to Qingshan Village. The villagers, curious yet timid, peeked from the corners of the walls. The big shots looked exactly like the lazy man and his gold-digging husband who left the village years ago!
