When Tai Xiaomi was five, his mother disguised him as a little girl and sold him to a fierce older woman in a neighboring village to be raised as a child bride.
The woman had a blind older son. She told Tai Xiaomi viciously that she was raising him to look after her son, and that when he grew up, he would have the man's children.
But Tai Xiaomi was a boy.
To avoid being found out and beaten, he hid the truth carefully and worked hard every day.
Before long, though, the woman had a stroke and died while arguing with someone on a path between the fields. Only Tai Xiaomi and his blind older brother were left in the house.
Tai Xiaomi's life got a lot easier. His brother was blind, so he wouldn't know if Tai Xiaomi sneaked out and ran away.
But Tai Xiaomi didn't leave.
There was food, drink, and a place to sleep here, and he wouldn't be sold off and beaten again. Besides, his brother was blind, so Tai Xiaomi could tell him whatever he wanted.
Tai Xiaomi started ordering his older brother around, making him cook, do the laundry, and put on his socks, while saying, "You have to take good care of me, Big Brother. When I grow up, I'll have your baby."
To make sure he lived even better, Tai Xiaomi kept psychologically manipulating his brother:
"Big Brother, raising a baby costs a lot of money."
"Big Brother, you have to work hard and earn lots and lots of money, or you and the baby will go hungry."
His brother was blind, but he was a good student and capable in all sorts of ways. He did whatever Tai Xiaomi asked.
As the economy boomed, his brother started from nothing and became a legend in the business world.
With all that money, Tai Xiaomi moved into a mansion and wore designer dresses. His brother had turned him into a spoiled little princess.
But now that they had money, his brother's eyesight was nearly cured, too.
Tai Xiaomi had already packed a little bundle, ready to run away at any moment.

Huo Yunjing went blind in both eyes as a teenager. Then a little con artist came into his life.
The little con artist wore his hair in braids, chattered nonstop, and shamelessly kept telling Huo Yunjing he'd have his baby when he grew up. He bossed him around without a hint of embarrassment.
But Huo Yunjing was more than happy to indulge him.
Later, Huo Yunjing regained his sight and was just about to make him keep his promise,
when the little con artist had already packed his things and vanished.

Tai Xiaomi's escape attempt failed, and he was caught. When he woke up, he was in his older brother's bed. The man stared down at him with deep eyes, smiling, but with danger in his gaze.
"Why did you run away? Didn't you say you'd have my baby?"
"I can't have a baby..." Tai Xiaomi gave up trying to hide it. He lifted his skirt and laid himself bare before him.
The man's gaze darkened. He leaned over, running a hand across Tai Xiaomi's fair, soft, thin-skinned belly, and murmured, "How would we know if we don't try?"
"What!?" Tai Xiaomi cried. "Wait..."
"To be sure, we'd better try a few times."
