Yu Heming, second son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, was a spoiled playboy blessed with striking looks. With a red mole between his brows, people often mistook him for a ger.
At a palace banquet, the Crown Prince eyed him hungrily and even sent someone to suggest a secret affair. Furious, Yu Heming went home and complained to his father.
"This is what you get for refusing to marry!" His usually doting father was horrified, and promptly brought a scourge of a spouse into the family for him.
Everyone in the capital knew the newly appointed guerrilla general was a ger from a farming family. He was illiterate, but born with superhuman strength and a record of military achievements. In private, the sons of nobles teased one another: "Marry Yuan Tiancheng as your husband, and you'll learn your lesson!"
Who would marry a ger more manly than a man? Apparently, I would.
Yu Heming had no intention of earning a reputation for being a homosexual who seduced the heir to the throne. He gritted his teeth and went through the wedding ceremony. That night, he never even lifted the bridal veil before lying down and falling asleep.
A few days later, his new husband left to suppress bandits. After that came news that he had gone missing.
Fuming, Yu Heming thought, What kind of husband just does that? That very night, he packed up his valuables and headed straight for the chaos-ridden province of Kanzhou.
The hardships of the journey were bad enough for a pampered young noble like him, but then bandits ambushed him while he was crossing the mountains.
His handsome, broad-browed husband suddenly burst out of the woods and slaughtered the entire gang by himself. Then he gazed at Yu Heming, his ears bright red. "You there, ger... are you married?"
Looking at Yuan Tiancheng in his peasant clothes, acting as if he had completely forgotten who he was, Yu Heming laughed in exasperation. "My savior is truly a mighty hero. I'd be happy to offer myself to you."
Wonderful. This idiot had completely forgotten that he was already married to a ger!
Yuan Tiancheng: You're a ger from a wealthy family. You'd be settling for me...
Yu Heming: (in a falsetto) For my dear Yuan, I'd do anything~
And so they performed the rites of Zhou Gong.
Yuan Tiancheng: ...This isn't right!!!
Yu Heming: (smiles)
Reader's Guide:
1. The couple will not break up or switch roles. Neither is a perfect character.
2. Most of the story is about everyday life in a farming village and the couple's schoolyard-style romance.
3. If there are children, that plot will be in the extras.
Theme: Does this young master have to farm, too?
