Marital Duties [The Wife-Chasing Crematorium]

A carefree, sickly recipient x an arrogant powerful man who learns to bow his head An Qi is chronically ill. Because his compatibility by birth chart with Fu Xingjun is 100%, he becomes Fu Xingjun's marriage partner. They sign a three-year contract. Fu Xingjun is a top graduate of a prestigious overseas university, and comes from a wealthy family. An Qi never even finished high school before being hospitalized. He only has his aunt and uncle. Fu Xingjun looks down on him, but doesn't insult him. He provides food and lodging, and even gives him pocket money. An Qi treasures this job. * Everyone in their circle knows that Fu Xingjun is married, and that his wife is a pretty face with nothing to offer. That night, Fu Xingjun opens the door, reeking of alcohol. His little wife is curled up under a blanket, asleep on the sofa. He pokes his soft head out and looks at Fu Xingjun, then flutters over like a butterfly, rises on tiptoe to touch his forehead, and asks in a tiny voice, "Have you had too much to drink again? It's okay, I'll take care of you." Fu Xingjun studies his beautiful, frail wife, curls his lips, and lowers his head to kiss the crown of his hair. A pretty face, is he? An Qi is more like a soft, springy little sweetheart: proactive, obedient, and dutiful in fulfilling every marital obligation. * Fu Xingjun is a generous husband and doesn't skimp on money or gifts. But An Qi starts to feel a little sad. He feels himself turning bad. He doesn't want to see his employer standing beside people so much better than him, and he doesn't want to see the passionate, sparkling eyes those people turn on his employer. He boldly tells Fu Xingjun how he feels. His husband looks down at him and smiles elegantly, pinching his chin as he asks, "Baby, who am I?" An Qi says, "My husband." His husband shakes his head. An Qi rubs the hem of his clothes, lowers his head, and says in embarrassment, "My... employer." His employer lifts his chin and kisses the corner of his mouth as a reward. But An Qi is too sad, so one day he gathers his courage and says, "Can I quit early?" The man seems to pause for a moment, then says, "As you wish." * An Qi quits. With a huge "retirement payout," he rents a small courtyard in a neighboring city to recuperate. An Qi takes good care of himself, and feels shocked and regretful about the "awful" thoughts he had before. A man treats him well, doesn't mind his marital history, and wants to marry him as his second husband. That very night they hold hands, an alpha storms into the house with his eyes bloodshot and grits his teeth. "An Qi, just you dare!" Both are sexually and romantically inexperienced. Content warnings: 1. The love interest has had multiple relationships, including but not limited to school and work. [Qiqi is his one and only true love] [Qiqi is his one and only true love] [Qiqi is his one and only true love]. Repeating this three times because it's important. Face-slapping and a groveling pursuit of his wife are both guaranteed. The recipient is carefree. After leaving, he has some contact with a second love interest. The domineering alpha competes and fights to win him back. Theme: Stay positive and work hard to balance family and career.
