Qin Huaiyu lived for twenty-five years in the modern world, where neither his father nor his mother cared for him.
At long last, he found someone he liked.
Then, just like that, the person he loved was gone.
Qin Huaiyu was heartbroken.
Then he discovered that he had transmigrated.
And become a tiny baby.
Qin Huaiyu told himself not to panic. This situation could still be salvaged.
So he sat the imperial examinations while earning money on the side.
At first, he only wanted to become a licentiate so his family could be exempted from corvee labor.
But then he realized that earning the rank of provincial graduate might better protect his little husband, so Qin Huaiyu put in some effort.
After becoming a provincial graduate, Qin Huaiyu thought that was enough for this life. He could live comfortably on the government stipend and spend a quiet, ordinary life with his little husband.
Then he discovered that his little husband's family seemed to be hiding a secret.
Oh!
If I need to put in more effort, fine, fine!
My little husband comes first!
So Qin Huaiyu tried a little harder.
And that was that: he tried too hard and landed himself a minor official post.
In the end, he helped clear his little husband's family of their wrongful accusations, and they were finally able to return to the capital for a visit.
One-sentence pitch: For his husband, anything goes.
