The Straight Man Endures Humiliation and Bears the Burden

Yu Li was an orphan. A year after the grandparents who raised him died, a wealthy family came to town and found him. Apparently, he was their child. Yu Li was overjoyed. He was going home to inherit the family fortune! But instead of inheriting anything, Yu Li was married off to a rich old man. Yu Li was shocked. "I'm straight!" His biological parents replied without a shred of sympathy, "As long as he's willing to marry you, who cares what you want?" Damn it, Yu Li cursed inwardly. He was nothing but a pawn. Pawn Yu Li was furious. For a moment. As it turned out, his wealthy husband had his eye on Yu Li's looks. His husband asked, "Are you angry?" Yu Li: "I'm furious." His husband asked, "Want to get back at them?" Yu Li: "More than anything." His husband smiled and tempted him. "Come give me a kiss, and I'll help you." "Just like I taught you." Yu Li was persuaded. He decided to endure the humiliation and sell his good looks. * Yu Li had biological parents, as well as many half-brothers and half-sisters. Yet in this world, it was as if he had no family at all. In their eyes, Yu Li was dirt by the roadside, so filthy they couldn't bear to touch him. They watched indifferently as Yu Li was sent to the Huo family and married off to a man, expecting to squeeze every bit of value from him for the benefit of their respective families. They waited for Yu Li to suck up to them, to come begging for affection and even a shred of pity, carrying their own flesh and blood with him. But Yu Li never came to grovel. Instead, the Huo family began putting pressure on them. ...Had Huo Changfeng really taken that country bumpkin to heart? * After moving to the city, Yu Li was busier than ever. He knew city people were crafty, so he planned to make a fortune and then take the money back to his village to help everyone prosper. He was busy making money, busy studying, and busy dealing with the city folk. City people were so annoying, always fussing over strange, useless things. To avoid being mocked as a country bumpkin, Yu Li had to stay up late studying under the covers. His hapless husband, Huo Changfeng, was not pleased. He grabbed Yu Li around the waist. "Yu Li, what's more important, your family or those friends of yours?" Yu Li declared loudly, "Of course my family!" His gaze was sincere, his voice firm! Huo Changfeng smiled with satisfaction. Until, not long afterward, he saw Yu Li's enormous family group chat. There were 168 members, and he was the only one missing. Huo Changfeng: ...So I was the friend all along? That night, Huo Changfeng pinned Yu Li against the sink, leaving him no way to escape. "Yu Li, we've been married this long. When are you going to take me to meet your family?" "Don't be a scumbag." Yu Li: Waaaah, city people are scary. Theme: Never forget where you came from
