Turning My Childhood Friend into My Wife

A childhood-friends-raising-a-child story, with a lighthearted, healing everyday feel.

A cocky, jealous top x a slow-on-the-uptake beauty of a bottom

When Ji Jiuzhou was six, his father sent him back to the family home in the countryside because a fortune-teller said their zodiac signs were incompatible.

On a stormy day, he lost his way and fell into a hunter's trap.

The first person to find him was a pretty little boy.

Ji Jiuzhou had never seen a child like him.

His adorable curls drooped over his forehead, and his eyes sparkled like those of a little elf who knew nothing of the world.

Only later did he learn that the "little elf" was not only pretty, but also cried easily.

Yet Ji Jiuzhou, who had never been known for his patience, was willing to bend down, gently wipe away his tears, and comfort him.

And that one act of comfort went on for decades.

Until everyone knew that Ji Jiuzhou had a childhood friend he held dear, and no one was allowed to touch him.

Jiang Xianxia was a little medicine pot. At six, he was sent to the Ji family and became the young master Ji's little sidekick.

Rumor had it that the young master Ji had a terrible temper, and Jiang Xianxia would surely be bullied without being able to fight back.

But later, the Ji family's housekeeper was amazed to discover that the young master, who had always been spoiled and willful and looked down on everyone, would actually bend down and tenderly blow on Jiang Xianxia's medicine to cool it, coaxing him to take it with one "sweetheart" after another.

The Ji family finally understood. He wasn't a little sidekick at all, but a little ancestor.

Ji Jiuzhou, head of the Ji Group, was handsome, refined, and exceptional, with countless admirers. Yet he had never been seen with a female companion or at any entertainment venues. He was the very picture of a cold fish.

Jiang Xianxia, Wushi's most authoritative surgeon, was gentle and elegant, with delicate features. When he smiled, his dimples could make anyone's heart skip a beat. Unfortunately, he was the genuine article when it came to being chaste and celibate.

Everyone was waiting to see which lucky person would win the hearts of Wushi's two most eligible bachelors, until, at a major academic conference, the media captured a shocking scene.

In the empty lecture hall, the haughty and distinguished Mr. Ji had Jiang Xianxia pinned against the conference table, holding his slender wrists as he kissed him without restraint, murmuring, "Honey, I was wrong. Will you come home with me?"
