[A stunning heroine with real strength who only wants to repay a debt of gratitude + A sickly male lead who says little on the surface but has a wildly active inner monologue] This story is entirely fictional and is a silly, no-brainer read. If that’s not your thing, please move along. No hate, thanks!!!
When Luo Yiyou wakes up, she discovers she has shrunk into an eight-year-old child and become the child bride of a farming family, who bought her for two taels of silver. Her cultivation has also fallen from the middle stage of Nascent Soul to the early stage of Foundation Building.
Her nominal young husband looks exactly like the benefactor who died saving her when she was in danger as a child. Seeing the distinctive moon-shaped birthmark on his wrist, she becomes certain that this boy is the reincarnation of the benefactor she has searched for over a hundred years.
So Luo Yiyou protects her benefactor all the way from a frail young boy who cannot care for himself to a peerless top scholar.
Believing she has repaid her debt, she quietly leaves.
She never expected that when they met again two years later, the man would pull her fiercely into his arms, his eyes red.
Tears in his eyes, the man glared at her and said, "You saved my life. If you want to abandon me, you’ll have to take my life first. Otherwise, I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth."
Luo Yiyou: ...What am I supposed to do? ...Have I been stuck with him? ...Well... after pampering him for so many years, I guess I have no choice but to keep pampering him.
Male lead’s perspective:
Qi Rongjin would never forget the joy in the little girl’s eyes when they first met, or how she threw herself into his arms, brimming with happiness.
When those joyful eyes looked at him, it was as if a ray of light had shone into his bleak world.
The theme is clear. In her past life, the female protagonist owed the male protagonist a debt of gratitude for saving her life; in other words, the male protagonist died saving her. Therefore, in this life, the female protagonist meets the male protagonist to repay this debt. First, she saves the short-lived male protagonist, then she helps his family become wealthy until he achieves success and finally they get married.
It's a fantastic watch. There aren't any earth-shattering conspiracies or intrigues, just some everyday village squabbles. The male lead's family is straightforward and honest, and the female lead's repayment of kindness is thorough and effective. She's hardworking, earns money, and can even fight—she just gets to work! The male lead, though sickly, isn't one to be bullied; he secretly retaliates.
I clicked in by accident, but since I was already here, I figured I might as well check it out. It's really good, the content is engaging, and the plot doesn't drag. The female lead is very pampered, her family is very protective of her, and she's not weak-willed or a burden to them. The female lead has martial arts skills, isn't a saint, and quickly retaliates if she's bullied, making it not at all frustrating to watch.
This is a very good short story. At first, I felt the sickly male protagonist was too weak, but I changed my mind when I saw him secretly poison a group of vicious human traffickers. Even with his poor health, the male protagonist could kill without leaving a trace, and while the female protagonist relied on martial arts, the male protagonist could use his wit and strategy.
It's a beautiful story. The female lead works hard every day to repay a debt of gratitude, hoping to give her benefactor a better life and free him from the torment of illness. She succeeds; their lives improve, and she earns more and more money. Thanks to her tireless efforts, the male lead's illness gradually heals, and he even passes the imperial examinations.
This is so good, why isn't anyone reading it? It's incredibly good, absolutely amazing! 😫😫😫 I read another cultivation novel by the same author, and then I looked at the author's bio and discovered that I've read 4 out of 6 of their books—they're all really good! 😫😫😫 It's such a coincidence; I didn't realize it was by the same author after reading for so long! 😘😘😘
Not bad, not bad, so sweet! The little girl Youyou is so cute, and her fighting skills are top-notch!
I read this article in one go. It's a heartwarming and sweet short story. The female protagonist, driven by gratitude, protects the male protagonist and his family from beginning to end, leading them towards a new life. A very good short story.
It's really good; the cultivators are so realistic and relatable.
Very good, very pleasing to the eye, excellent writing. The content is fresh and original, avoiding clichés. A truly refreshing experience.
