After his father died, Li Nianzhen packed his things and went to stay with his aunt, who worked for the Zuo family.
Li Nianzhen had a disability in his right leg, so he normally wouldn't have had a chance to stay on with the Zuo family.
But now, the ladder to success had descended. Whether he stayed or left was no longer up to him.
Lately, Li Nianzhen had felt that Zuo Yu, who had stopped paying attention to him, his "nanny," after coming of age, was acting stranger and stranger.
He had asked Li Nianzhen to help him change clothes, then suddenly got angry and accused him of trying to seduce him.
Just yesterday, he'd said Li Nianzhen wouldn't need to pick him up anymore, but then he got drunk and clung to him, refusing to let go.
One night, half-asleep, Li Nianzhen suddenly heard a series of hurried, ragged breaths.
Zuo Yu stood beside the bed, one hand already resting on Li Nianzhen's trembling eyelashes.
"You're awake."
Zuo Yu's cold hand slid down, inch by inch, from his forehead to the tip of his nose, then pried apart Li Nianzhen's tightly pressed lips.
In Zuo Yu's dreams, Li Nianzhen appeared crying more and more often.
For the first time in his life, without running any careful theoretical simulations, Zuo Yu reached a conclusion: Li Nianzhen was trying to seduce him.
After being ignored just a little, the pretty-faced man obediently retreated to his little room.
But could someone please tell him why he was standing in the middle of a wedding?
And the person he'd just put a ring on was Li Nianzhen.
Even more intolerable to Zuo Yu was that Li Nianzhen wasn't smiling.
Just like in his dreams, Li Nianzhen was crying.
[1.25: I've been falling asleep frequently lately. After a checkup with the family doctor, I was confirmed to be in good health. Li Nianzhen greeted me, but I didn't respond.]
[2.14: Li Nianzhen was tricked. Foolish.]
[2.15: One line blacked out]
[4.1: What an ironic date. There's still time. Zhenzhen, wait for me.]
[6.1: Zhenzhen's birthday. I didn't have time to prepare a gift. I think I scared him. I'm sorry, Zhenzhen.]
[8.7: Li Nianzhen is clinging to me again. He's even learned to lie.]
[10.18: Whose ring did Li Nianzhen accept?]
[12.12: Zhenzhen cried. He asked me, "So, who is my husband?" Silly wife, I'm your only husband.]
P.S.:
1. Original worldbuilding, with a significant class divide (to satisfy the author's wicked tastes)
2. One-on-one, both sexually inexperienced, happy ending
3. High concentration of melodrama (ducking behind a pot lid)
