I Took in a Beggar to Settle the Accounts, and He Pawned My Whole Shop

(Mutual first love + raising a child + sweet everyday romance + lighthearted comedy)

Quirky young merchant Yu Xi x down-on-his-luck, scheming royal Xie Shen

On a snowy night,

Yu Xi happened upon a little beggar on the verge of death. Her first thought was, Saving someone costs money, and lots of it…

Buddha above, if I save him, let me earn merit and go to heaven when I die.

And why does this kid act like a mute around everyone?

"Come on, you're coming with me to report to the authorities."

"…"

...The silent treatment is cruel.

What???? The authorities won't even take him in?

Seventeen-year-old Boss Yu suddenly found herself living a frugal life raising a child.

Bathing him, teaching him, helping him learn to read: why do I have to do everything?

Wait, what's this kid's background?

Years later,

The young man, dressed in a long black robe, cornered Yu Xi in the accounting room.

"Who are you going to marry?"

"Shiyi, wouldn't it be better if you let me take care of everything for you?"

What kind of child have I raised… Where did that obedient, adorable little boy go?

Wait… Who's raising whom now, huh?!

The young man let out a chuckle, his smile captivating: "Do you really have to ask?"
