Jin Yu was the best-looking young man in Lishan Village. He was young and beautiful, the only son in his family, and had countless suitors. Yet this flower of a young man was unexpectedly rescued by Chen Shi, an orphan. To preserve his reputation, Jin Yu's family had no choice but to marry him off to Chen Shi.
Jin Yu refused and cried in protest. When asked why, he could only say that the Chen family man looked terrifying. He was nearly seven feet tall, and his palm was bigger than Jin Yu's face. If they got into a fight, Chen Shi could beat him without breaking a sweat.
Chen Shi lost his father when he was young and his mother in his teens. He grew up alone, with no one to rely on. By the time he was twenty, he had no roof over his head, no land to his name, and still hadn't found a wife.
One day, he happened to save the young master of the Jin family. He thought of it as a good deed and didn't give it another thought, but the Jin family insisted on marrying their only son to him.
Chen Shi couldn't figure out what the Jin family saw in him. It couldn't be that they were after his poverty, could it?

● The Village Bully's Stuttering Little Husband
Yun Cheng stutters and has had a hard life. His biological father abandoned him when he was five, and his mother died of illness when he was ten. Poor and helpless, he had no one.
Worried that Yun Cheng would be bullied after she was gone, his mother spent all her savings before she died to arrange a way out for him: he would go work as a servant in an important man's household.
Wanting his mother to leave this world in peace, Yun Cheng set off with a bundle containing only two worn-out outfits.
But because he stuttered, the household servants looked down on him and treated him accordingly. His life was difficult.
Luckily, the second young master was kindhearted and took pity on him, letting him work in the small kitchen.
There was a sharp-tongued but softhearted cook there who made wonderful pastries. Even distinguished guests who came to the house praised her skills.
Yun Cheng stuttered, but he was honest and hardworking. The cook would tell him that his brother Mian must have forgotten him and married someone else long ago, but she still did her best to teach Yun Cheng her craft.
Yun Cheng said he wouldn't go, but then he went to the second young master and begged him. He wanted to return to his hometown and find the person who had protected him since childhood.
Li Mian was the bully of Yangjia Village. He worked at a gambling house in town, and his bad reputation had spread across the surrounding villages. Anyone who offended him had to be ready for a beating, so even though he was of marriageable age, no one had agreed to marry him.
But one day, this villain whom everyone avoided was pestered by a little stutterer.
He heard the little stutterer was also from Lijia Village, but everyone in his family had died years ago, so he'd gone elsewhere to make a living.
The boy was tiny, with a face no bigger than a palm. He would duck his head at a single glance, yet followed Li Mian to the gambling house every day. One day, Li Mian lost patience, grabbed him by the collar, and scolded him. But the boy was the first to look aggrieved, sniffling as he said, "Could you... stop going? I'm afraid... something will happen to you."
Li Mian found it baffling. "If I stop working, will you support me?"
The little stutterer nodded. "Okay. Let's get married."
"..."
The villagers of Yangjia Village all said they'd lived long enough to see everything: someone actually wanted to marry Li Mian, the village bully.
So they all guessed Yun Cheng's stutter must be incurable, and he could find no one else to marry him, so he'd turned to Li Mian.
They said Li Mian would get tired of him sooner or later.
But no one knew that eight years earlier, Li Mian had cracked his head falling off his horse while trying to chase after Yun Cheng's carriage.
And no one knew that Yun Cheng had a secret: he'd always been in love with Li Mian.
