Li Xuanji had been searching for the right person. After careful consideration, she chose Ling Kaixuan, a newly arrived educated youth who had just been sent to the countryside and was known as a “troublemaker,” and made him an offer. “Marry me.”

Ling Kaixuan talked himself into believing: He's handsome, so Li Xuanji must have picked him as her husband because she wants his body.

Their agreement, meant to benefit them both, gradually began to change… As they spent time together, they grew more and more in sync. When she hit someone, he handed her a stick; when he cursed someone out, she egged him on.

…

After their child was born, the original arrangement of a gentle mother and strict father gradually became unrealistic as the child grew up. Li Xuanji realized she had given birth to a little demon even worse than herself. After the “little demon” kept causing trouble, their gentle-mother, strict-father act fell apart. The child's father spoiled the kid without limits and insisted, “As long as the child doesn't kill anyone, start a fire, or get involved with drugs or gambling, I'll deal with anything else, even if they turn the world upside down. All I want is for the kid to be happy.”

The secret the Li family had kept buried for over a decade also began to come to light…

Li Xuanji: “All I want is a child who takes my surname.”

Ling Kaixuan: “The child can take your surname. How about you give me a home?”
