The Hunter Takes In a Young Man Fleeing Famine

[A story about men who can bear children, two male leads, natives, no transmigration, no personal space.]

A flood destroyed An He’s home and swept away his family.

His sister-in-law drowned in the flood, his parents died on the road as they fled famine, and just as they were about to reach their destination, his elder brother went missing. In the end, only An He and his nephew were left.

Carrying his feverish nephew on his back, he knelt at the city gate and begged again and again. The guards didn’t even spare him a glance.

Just as he was about to despair, convinced he couldn’t protect the only bloodline his brother had left, a tall, powerfully built man appeared before him.

Shen Qiao had seen countless people and prey in his life, but he had never seen eyes he liked as much as An He’s.

In that dirt-smudged face, his eyes shone like the stars in the sky. Shen Qiao fell for him at first sight.

So the twenty-year-old man made a proposal: he would help save An He’s nephew, and An He would marry him.

Once Shen Qiao had set his heart on someone, he meant to keep him. He wasn’t particularly capable and only knew how to hunt, but he thought he could provide for An He and his nephew.

Though their relationship started out like a transaction, An He gradually came to be moved by Shen Qiao’s sincerity.

When he went into the mountains, Shen Qiao brought him wild fruit. He risked his life to find him honey, and when he finally caught some game, one word from the village doctor was enough to make him save it for An He to regain his strength.

People later said Shen Qiao was lucky to have found a husband who could make pastries, but only An He knew that he was the lucky one. In his darkest hour, he had met someone whose heart and eyes held only him.
