This story: 【Elegant, reserved, cunning gentleman × Thin-skinned but mischievous overachieving beauty】
“Life’s ultimate overachiever” Qiu Huanian transmigrates into an ancient era as a ger—unloved by his father and stepmother, traded for two buckets of sorghum to the Du family in the next village as a child bride during a famine.
When he wakes, the family has only three straw huts, two hens, and the Du siblings, thin as twigs. The village gossips claim his unseen husband, the eldest Du son, has ruined his future and will return home to mooch off others. Everyone awaits the joke.
Qiu Huanian’s heart races as he gazes at Du Yunse’s ethereal, scholarly face. Rolling up his sleeves, he declares lightly, “No matter. I’ll support him.”
*
Du Yunse, hailed as a prodigy since ten, studied under a great scholar for years. Caught in court turmoil after his mentor’s imprisonment, he returns home, dreading the sight of his orphaned siblings and the stranger he’s bound to.
