After the Little Brother Was Sold to a Hunter

[Farming + two male leads + both pure + family life + no golden finger]

.

Liu Yi was sold by his stepmother to a gambling house owner nearly fifty years old, to be his concubine. They said none of the concubines who’d entered the household before him had lived longer than three months.

On the wedding day, Liu Yi had been starved for three days. While no one was watching, he mustered his last strength, ran to the river, and threw himself in.

Xie Qingshan had just returned from hunting in the mountains when he came across him. Without a second thought, he jumped into the river to save him.

But Liu Yi was still hovering between life and death when his heartless father used Liu Yi’s chastity as leverage and extorted twenty taels of silver from Xie Qingshan.

Xie Qingshan was willing to pay, on the one condition that Liu Yi sever ties with his family.

His heartless father and wicked stepmother cared only about money, while Xie Qingshan carried Liu Yi, still unconscious, back to his home.

Everyone said he’d gotten a raw deal. Why spend twenty taels to marry a young man? Especially when this one looked frail and unlikely to bear children.

But Xie Qingshan didn’t think so. He’d wanted to bring Liu Yi home as his husband for a long time.

Xie Qingshan took Liu Yi home, called for a doctor, bought medicine, and got him new clothes and meat. He spent money on his husband without a second thought, determined to make up for all the things Liu Yi had gone without during the first decade and more of his life.

Liu Yi, now rescued, also took to married life with enthusiasm. He cooked, washed clothes, raised chickens, grew vegetables, and kept the household running smoothly.

Before long, the two of them were thriving together.

No transmigration, no rebirth, no golden finger. Just an everyday account of two people with tragic pasts building a good life together, sharing the ups and downs of family life and growing closer as they stand by each other.
