The Poor Husband Held as Collateral [Matriarchy]

In the tenth year of the apocalypse, Lin Yi and his wife lived at the very edge of the outer city.

He was taciturn and awkward with words. His wife bought him after winning a bet, then pawned him off after losing one.

That woman was the ruler of the base: young, powerful, cold, decisive, and ruthless. Her movements were just as cold and forceful, and she never went soft.

Every time she returned to the base, she would summon him and treat him with reckless brutality.

Everyone was waiting to laugh at him, especially her fiance.

But later, he became pregnant and was brought into the inner city. He moved into her home, did her laundry and cooking, and raised their child.
