A gentle, soft-hearted, pure-minded bottom VS a fierce, possessive butcher top who dotes on and fiercely protects his wife

Lin Hangua was the Chen family's child bride, a gentle young man who waited patiently for over a decade, never complaining as he exhausted his youth and energy to support his husband through his studies and imperial exams. But when Chen Wenyan passed the highest imperial exam and returned home in glory, he immediately turned cold and heartless. The Chen family, eager to curry favor with the powerful, threw Hangua out despite his having done nothing wrong and having worked hard for them for over a decade. The whole village watched with cold eyes and sneered, waiting for him to fall into misery.

With nowhere else to turn, Hangua took his severance money, bought two mu of poor farmland, and settled alone at the village's edge. By chance, he wandered into the territory of Zhou Ye, the butcher demon feared and famed throughout the village. No one knew that the cold, fierce, rough-edged man had been secretly in love with him for years. Zhou Ye fed him every day, clumsily and stubbornly protecting him with tenderness, and slowly warmed Hangua's frozen heart.

Ignoring gossip and prejudice, Zhou Ye formally married the silly young man and brought him home, where he pampered him without limit. Hangua, once shabby and disliked by everyone, was lovingly raised until he was plump, fair, and radiant, with a gentle, captivating air. When Chen Wenyan, the successful former husband, met the man he had once cast aside, he was overwhelmed with regret and tried to win him back.

Possessive and fiercely protective, Zhou Ye drew his blade to make his point. One butcher's knife put an end to everyone's designs, and he boldly protected his spouse, crushing the former husband's hopes once and for all. When the storm had passed, Zhou Ye treated Hangua like royalty, serving and cherishing him with the utmost care. The silly young man who had once suffered alone, unloved by anyone, was ultimately pampered by the fiercest roughneck into the happiest person in the world.
