[Two male protagonists + main attacker + rebirth and repentance + sweet pet from the farm + husband to the powerful minister + imperial examination strategy]
[The downtrodden son, the powerful minister, attacks × the slow, beautiful little fool suffers]
In his previous life, Pei Yanzhou was a ruthless and powerful official that everyone feared. He climbed to the top with blood, but after becoming famous, he lost the only hot heart in the world.
That year when he was down and out, it was the "little fool" named Wen Heng who watched over him and gave him half of his food and clothing in the clumsiest and hottest way in the world. Pei Yanzhou thought very highly of himself, and while accepting the care of the other party calmly, he regarded this tenderness as a shame. Before the Pei family's carriage left, he said "Wait for me" and left the people behind him without looking back.
This is Wen Heng's life.
When he opened his eyes again, Pei Yanzhou returned to the drafty shabby house. The young man's hands were covered with frostbite. He held a bowl of cold porridge in his hands and asked timidly: "W-do you want to eat it?"
This time, Pei Yanzhou didn't push it away, but drank the bowl of porridge cleanly.
From then on, there was a strange scene in the village - the eldest son of the Pei family, who could not lift his shoulders or lift his hands, rolled up his sleeves for the first time and did laundry, chopped firewood, carried water and copied books in order to let Wen Heng have a hot meal.
He is no longer the down-and-out man who hides behind the young man and eats soft food, but has become Wen Heng's support to protect him from the wind and rain.
Later, Pei Yanzhou returned to the temple.
Even if it was a bloody road, he would never leave the boy where he was. He wanted to take him from that leaky shabby house to the highest point in the world.
