Marriage Contract

Blurb:

This is the story of two men who have both lost their parents. First, a charlatan cons them, then their families do the same. With no other choice, they get married. As they muddle through life together, they gradually develop feelings for each other, and get their own back on the people who conned them along the way.

Announcement: This story will become a paid novel on Friday, July 31, with three chapters released that day. I hope you'll continue to support it. It is exclusive to Jinjiang and may not be reposted! May not be reposted! May not be reposted!

Things to know before reading:

1. The gong is the one who gets married. The gong is the one who gets married. The gong is the one who gets married!

That's the important part, so I'm saying it three times. If you can't accept it, please click the little X in the upper-right corner!

2. This story is a slow burn. At first, neither the gong nor the shou is very gay, so it'll take some time to turn them around!

3. One-on-one, sweet and comforting, with a happy ending and no angst. The romance isn't angsty! They officially meet in Chapter 11!

4. The gong is a local, while the shou is someone who died and was reincarnated!

5. If you really need a character-type label, it's probably: well-rounded, loyal-dog gong x gentle, easygoing househusband shou!

6. This is set in a fictional world, so historians, please go easy on me! If anything seems unreasonable, please bring it up tactfully. If anything contradicts history, just repeat after me: this is a fictional setting, because that's how the author designed it!

7. The author's intelligence is low, so I can't write anything that requires high intelligence!

This story has nothing to do with palace intrigue, and the author can't write domestic intrigue because it's too technically challenging!

8. Feedback, typo corrections, and flower-throwing are all welcome!

9. Please don't scrutinize my rankings! The author has a fragile heart, so please be gentle!
