The Nation's Treasure: A Little Husband [Sky Screen]

Gentle, decisive ray-of-sunshine bottom × ruthless, scheming, sweet-talking top

After being reborn, Gu Zhou broke off his engagement to that bastard and brought home Tan Junqing, the only "servant" in his former husband's family who had ever treated him well in his previous life.

Life was poor, but Gu Zhou was educated and had a skill. He could manage to support Tan Junqing, who had a leg injury.

As he cared for him, their lives only got better and better.

The restaurant he opened became a huge hit. A decorative trinket he made on a whim became a bestseller, and even a cheap fan he'd used was snapped up by the capital's powerful and wealthy for three thousand taels!

But something seemed off about Tan Junqing.

He was reading an erotic romance about the two of them!

Gu Zhou: "Stop reading that. You should start thinking about settling down."

Tan Junqing: "All right. I'll move out tomorrow."

Gu Zhou: "?"

Tan Junqing: "They say the Fifth Prince and you are in love. I have no title or standing, so it's not appropriate for me to live here."

Later, after being worn out to the point that he couldn't get out of bed, Gu Zhou remembered the positions from the night before. Embarrassed and annoyed, he regretted not tearing out the illustrations from those storybooks!

At first, people were terrified of the "giant hands" on the sky screen.

Later, they learned from the people on the sky screen how to make fresh lotus leaf porridge, ten-spice vegetables, and black rice wine. They learned to read and picked up new skills.

Later still, children used the light of the sky screen to listen to the Grand Tutor's lessons, while ordinary people listened to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's weather forecasts and planned their farming accordingly...

As life improved, the people grew fonder and fonder of Gu Zhou. One coin from this person, one coin from that, and before long they had made him the richest man in the land.

They were curious about what Gu Zhou looked like, and even more curious about the relationship between him and Tan Junqing, who risked his life to save him and served him tea and helped him dress every day.

Bonus Scenes

(1)

Tan Junqing had thought he could live quietly with Gu Zhou for the rest of his life under an assumed name.

Until Gu Zhou fell seriously ill.

Tan Junqing walked right into a trap and found his old enemy, the greatest physician of the age. "Take my life in exchange for his."

(2)

Gu Zhou looked at the person sitting on the bed. "Are you unwell?"

Tan Junqing: "I'm fine. The Fifth Prince's men stopped me earlier, and I had to stand in the snow for a while. My leg hurts a little."

"Go see your Fifth Prince. Don't mind me."

Gu Zhou smiled helplessly. "Then I'll have them remove all the charcoal braziers in the front hall. Let him freeze a little, as payback for you."

Under the sky screen.

The Fifth Prince dropped to his knees and looked at the emperor. "Father, I swear that Gu Zhou and I are completely innocent."

Tan Junqing was so vindictive. The Fifth Prince had only badmouthed him in front of Gu Zhou a few times. Was there really any need to set him up like this?

The emperor: "You'd better be telling the truth."

The sky screen only plays a minor role. The story mainly focuses on a cozy farming lifestyle, with food and a slow build.
