Su Mobai would never have believed that one blow could send him back to ancient times, let alone land him in a bridal sedan. The original owner had no protagonist aura whatsoever, aside from the fact that he was still alive. His father didn't care for him, his mother didn't love him, and his sister was a two-faced little schemer. He was also a chubby kid. As a young man of the modern era, Su Mobai was quick-witted. Why run away from the wedding? Because otherwise he'd be stuck as a bride, and he wasn't having that!
He happily made a break for it, running for dear life until he became a little beggar. But just as he'd turned his life around and become a handsome young man, he was tied up and sent back to his husband's family, the Jingnan Prince's residence in the capital.
His husband had been rich and handsome, but in the blink of an eye, he'd racked up a mountain of debt and turned into a fool. Creditors showed up every day, and as the only person in the household capable of earning money, Su Mobai embarked on the long road to supporting the family.
Su Mobai: What about marital property? Meow, meow, meow!
Chi Jingyuan: Of course we have some. That box of IOUs is the empire I've built for you, my dear wife!
If he'd had a choice, Su Mobai swore he'd have sat obediently in the bridal sedan and become a resplendent, golden-robed princess consort. But as things stood, when would this road to paying off the debts ever end?
[In short: This prince adores you, and these IOUs will keep you tied to him! Princess Consort, do your best. Watch this modern-day prince consort lead you to wealth and prosperity while building up the kingdom!]
