A domineering, old-fashioned family patriarch x a timid, pitiful beauty

Half-raising / new love interest / size difference / age gap / both virgins / one-on-one

1.

Shen Zhi is a poor soul.

His father died when he was three, his mother when he was five, and at fourteen his uncle sold him to be a good-luck bride for the regent's heir, who had gone mad and insisted on becoming a monk.

Who would have guessed that at the wedding ceremony, the heir, who had been making a scene about becoming a monk, would suddenly elope with his lover!

Everyone called Shen Zhi a jinx who brought death to her husbands!

When the regent returned, he would surely divorce him, sell him, or shave his head and throw him into a temple to be ogled and played with while people prayed for the heir's good fortune!

Shen Zhi thought so too, and was too terrified to move on the wedding bed.

So when Xiao Jue entered the bridal chamber and lifted the red curtain, this was what he saw:

His daughter-in-law, trembling all over on the bed, eyes full of tears, like a frightened little rabbit. She looked at him timidly and called out in a shaking voice:

"F-Father-in-law..."

Xiao Jue froze. The words "divorce papers," which had been about to leave his mouth, silently went back down his throat.

"Mm."

2.

Everyone said that Xiao Jue, the powerful, sinister, and ruthless regent, had gone mad!

Not only had he failed to throw out Shen Zhi, the one who had supposedly driven the heir to abandon his home, but he had actually raised him with extravagant care and affection?!

And he'd kept it up for five years?!

"He's still young. He can wait for Yucheng to change his mind, and then they'll be able to get along as husband and wife."

For five years, whenever anyone asked Xiao Jue why he treated Shen Zhi so well, that was always his answer.

That's right.

He treated Shen Zhi well only because he was waiting for his son to change his mind.

He taught Shen Zhi to read and write, how to conduct himself, and was strict in his guidance.

It was all so that when his son came home, he and Shen Zhi could live together in marital harmony.

For his son and Shen Zhi to live together in harmony, he gathered every splendid garment and precious treasure under heaven for Shen Zhi.

For his son and Shen Zhi to live together in harmony, when Shen Zhi's first heat arrived, he personally guided him through it, step by step.

For his son and Shen Zhi to live together in harmony, he played both father and mother, holding the timid, cowardly Shen Zhi close to his heart and spoiling him without restraint!

Then his damned son actually came home...

-

Five years later, Xiao Yucheng, his heart and body broken after being deceived and used for his money, decides to turn over a new leaf and become a genuinely loving husband to Shen Zhi.

But when he returns home, full of anticipation...

He hears his father's voice coming from the room he shares with Shen Zhi:

"Good boy, lift your waist a little higher, just like Daddy taught you before... That's it, good boy."

Xiao Yucheng: "?!"
