The Butcher's Little Husband

One day, Xia Shan was drugged unconscious and sold as a husband to a butcher in the east, rumored to be violent enough to kill a man with one punch.

Xia Shan was ugly, with a birthmark on his left cheek, and had a timid personality. His stepmother watched, cursing and grumbling, as someone took him off her hands. Delighted, she exchanged him for ten taels of silver. She didn't care whether Xia Shan was willing or not: once he was drugged unconscious, they tied him into the bridal sedan.

Fang Qingyuan knew full well that he had a terrible reputation. When he learned one day that he could marry a husband, he was astonished. He had thought he could settle down and live a quiet life with his husband, but on their wedding night, Xia Shan was so frightened that he cut himself.

Fang Qingyuan was terribly upset.

Later, Fang Qingyuan began to feel for Xia Shan. Holding the hand of the future miracle healer, he looked at Xia Shan's stepmother and her family, who had come crawling back in regret to curry favor, and said, "I'll handle them. Don't dirty your hands."

Later, the town had a physician named Xia, with butterfly-colored glaze painted on his face. A man who never spoke, only watched people, was always at his side.

A patient fell in love with Doctor Xia at first sight and proposed to him the next time they met. "Doctor Xia, come live with me."

At that moment, Fang Qingyuan was sitting beside Xia Shan. His face darkened at once. He wrapped an arm around Xia Shan's waist and kissed him, then gave the astonished patient a quiet snort. "Mine."
