Liang Jingchuan, gong & Song Qingyun, shou (age gap)
Liang Jingchuan got himself a wife early. Other people were seventeen, while he was seven.
With his front teeth missing, Liang Jingchuan bragged to everyone about his new bride: big eyes, red lips, and a fair little face.
The boys at the academy were all curious. Liang Jingchuan looked like a potato, so how had he managed to marry such a pretty wife? And even if he had, he definitely hadn't kissed his new bride.
The little potato, whom nobody believed and everyone had mocked, went straight home and cornered his child bride, who was taller than he was, against the wall, demanding a kiss.
Sadly, before he could kiss her, his new bride shoved him aside.
Song Qingyun sold himself to the Liang family as a child bride for thirty taels of silver, hoping to buy a coffin for his dying mother.
Rumor had it that the Liang family's second young master was a troublemaker who bounced around so much even dogs couldn't stand him. But when Song Qingyun finally met the so-called second young master, he turned out to be a silly little boy who didn't even reach his shoulder.
Yet this very silly boy, even when he was nearly beaten to death, still remembered to put the pastry crushed in his arms into Song Qingyun's mouth.
As an adult, Liang Jingchuan grinned foolishly in the Hall of Golden Chimes. "Wife, let's go home."
Song Qingyun, now the Son of Heaven, blushed to the tips of his ears. "How dare you! Who's your wife?"
