Qu Xing has been devoted to medicine since childhood, and becoming head of the Qu family has always been his life's ambition.
First, his status as a young master limits him.
Second, his family members hold him back.
Third, his fellow disciples are everywhere, and every one of them wants to take advantage of him.
If he wants control of the Qu family, he needs to find an obedient man, preferably a strong one who'll do whatever he's told.
As luck would have it, a simple-minded fellow lands right in his hands. He can't be blamed for refusing to let him go.
Xiong Lin grew up deep in the mountains, free-spirited and unrestrained.
His favorite things were the sweets brought up from the village below and the honey found in the mountains.
After an unexpected encounter, the young master had him all flustered, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he agreed to become the man's live-in son-in-law.
He didn't even know what a live-in son-in-law was, but it didn't matter. The worst that could happen was that he sold himself. His family was gone anyway, so he might as well.
Only after coming down the mountain did he learn how many rules the young master had: no sitting on the bed, no eating sweets, and no badmouthing his friends behind his back.
Whether in bed or out of it, he had to obey if he wanted a full meal.
Xiong Lin felt wronged. He wanted to take it all back, but his husband was so handsome, more beautiful than the sea of clouds in the mountains. He couldn't bear to leave him.
A grown man should listen to his husband, anyway. Even the short guy next door listens to his husband.
Aloof, flirtatious young master who shamelessly pursues him, then gets in over his head × sugar-loving, devoted mountain man

Bonus scene:
Kid: Dad, choose between candy and me!
Xiong Lin: I'll choose your other dad. He's sweet too, after all.
Big new book! Support! It's very interesting, but it's so painful for me to follow the series 🥺
Silly white sweet and black-hearted sesame glutinous rice balls 🤭🤭🤭
