[Coming soon] The blurb for Homegrown Childhood Sweetheart is below.
[Blurb for this novel] Content warning: The female lead is not a virgin; the male lead is.
There was a pretty widow in the village who sold tofu pudding. The only scholar in the whole village lived next door.
The scholar was good in every way, except that he was terribly old-fashioned.
The old-fashioned scholar never came to buy tofu pudding from her, afraid that people would gossip and damage her reputation.
But in private, the widow would sometimes find things in her courtyard: firewood, rice, flour, meat, and even medicine when she was sick...
The widow stood inside the courtyard wall, and the scholar stood outside it.
Widow: "Stop throwing things in. If anyone finds out, neither of us will be able to explain ourselves."
Scholar: "Your brother asked me to take care of you before he died. I can't break my promise."
Then he tossed another bundle inside. "My sister bought too much. It'd be a waste to throw it away. Take it."
The widow picked up the bundle and opened it. Inside were a box of rouge and a hairpin.
Year after year passed, and the scholar still didn't marry.
The widow thought she was holding him back, so she soon agreed to marry a widower from the neighboring village.
She accepted the betrothal gifts during the day. That night, something went "thump" in the courtyard.
Had the scholar thrown something in again?
She went into the courtyard and saw the usually refined and elegant scholar scrambling up from the ground in the moonlight, looking thoroughly disheveled.
The widow stared. "What are you doing?"
Scholar: "Oh, I accidentally threw myself in."
After that, rumors spread through every village for miles around.
The widow never did get married.
*
On their wedding night, the widow asked the scholar, "You care so much about a woman's reputation. Do you regret marrying me?"
His eyes reflected the red candlelight. "I only regret not throwing myself into your courtyard sooner."

[Coming soon] Homegrown Childhood Sweetheart:
A gloomy, handsome, cold young man x an optimistic, openhearted little white flower
After his family fell into ruin, the young master of a noble family became a poor country boy. Zhou Mu was gloomy and cold, and hard to get close to. Then one day, his mother brought home a little bride for him.
The little bride was pretty, capable, gentle, and thoughtful. The only problem was, the older she got, the clingier she became, and she would cry at the drop of a hat.
She cried when she fell, when he picked on her, and even when she got her period.
At last, one day, he said impatiently:
"Don't cry in front of me. I never said I'd marry you."
The little bride ran out of the house in tears.
When night had fully fallen and she still hadn't come back, Zhou Mu cursed and began searching every hill and field.
At last, he found her beside a haystack in the fields, a tiny figure crouched down and sobbing into her hands.
His taut nerves finally relaxed. He was about to take her home when he noticed another boy crouching beside her. "Youyou, don't cry. If Brother Mu won't marry you, I will."
Zhou Mu's face darkened as he stepped forward and swept Lin Youyou into his arms. "She's my wife."
Lin Youyou looked up at him and saw his furious eyes. How could she possibly believe him?
From then on, she stopped clinging to him and stopped crying in front of him. Only then did Zhou Mu realize he had to marry her as soon as possible.
On their wedding night, the red candles burned high, and they lay beneath a quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks. As they came together, she was still a crybaby.
He held her close, his heart melting. "My little sweetheart, don't cry. I'll be gentle."
*
Lin Youyou had a hard life. She lost both her parents at a young age and was sold to another family as a child bride. The boy she was given to had disliked her from the very first moment he saw her.
Just when everyone thought he could never marry her, he not only gave her a grand wedding, but later worked himself to the bone to earn money and support their family.

This plot is painful to watch, too deliberate and illogical. In ancient times, they resisted imperial edicts, but they dared not explain it to those closest to them. The doctors have said that it is difficult to give birth to twins, but Shen Yue can still let Ah Li get angry and misunderstand at the most critical period. . Personal feelings, combined with the previous character design, it is impossible for Ah Li to forgive Shen Yue and untie her heart knot. What reason could be more important than three lives? Sorry, author, I gave it up.
Although Ah Li and Shen are together and have children, why can't I feel the sweetness of not being together yet?
I've read the article before the revision, but it's not right to read the revised version now... It's too bad, I should have read it two days later.
Abandoned, the author's twists and turns are a bit redundant. The beginning was good, but later on I was really impressed.
I'm a little speechless. If you don't say it the first time, forget it. If you don't say it the second time, it will be delayed until the birth. This logic is really speechless and heartbreaking.
I come here for updates every day, but this seems to be going the wrong way... The female protagonist is becoming more and more delicate, and the male protagonist's character is also distorted. It's weird that Wang Xu is out of control when giving birth to a child. His refusal to be the consort should have been to express the male protagonist's devotion, but instead he turned into abusing the female protagonist... In these chapters, the heroine is angry several times -> the hero kneels down to figure out the plot, it seems that there is a lack of communication and emotional exchange
This plot is so speechless! Pregnancy is already difficult and it has to be dealt with like this. The male protagonist should have explained it earlier. It has been frustrating for several chapters, and then at the end of the delivery, there has been a scene where the male protagonist is gone and the second male lead has come. How interesting is that? There are already misunderstandings and conflicts between the male and female protagonists. If it is repeated like this, I really can't stand it. I might as well just change the male lead. It's really boring! A plot set up for the sake of misunderstanding! It looks so infuriating!!!
I feel that it is different from the male and female protagonists I saw at the beginning. The story is very confusing. The first part is very detailed, but the second part is too fast-paced, and the characters' personalities and positions are a bit inadequate.
I feel sorry for Ah Li, please torture Shen Yue.
"Chicken" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
