A sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, attentive, fatherly tsundere top vs. a clingy, teary-eyed, mischievous little sunshine bottom
-
(The dates for the twenty-four solar terms in the story are roughly based on the 2020 calendar.)
-
Yan Heyi is a teacher who runs a private school in a small Jiangnan village. One day, a young man falls off a cliff and tumbles right into his arms.
From then on, a troublemaking ringleader joins Mr. Yan's school, and someone to warm his bed joins his household.
-
Yan Heyi recites calming mantras, constantly trying to convince himself: Other than setting off explosions in the kitchen while cooking, blowing bubbles while doing laundry, persuading students to skip class, and secretly drawing himself as a big-faced cat, the little rascal isn't entirely useless...
-
Later, when the young man's true identity is exposed, he silently packs his things and runs away. A few days later, he discovers it was all a misunderstanding and shamelessly comes back.
Yan Heyi resolves to ignore him and shuts him out along with the dog.
The young man sits on the doorstep alone, hugging the dog, tears in his eyes.
-
It was the Beginning of Winter, and snowflakes had thoughtfully started falling early.
The young man puts on a pitiful, hoarse voice. Yan Heyi lets himself be wrapped around his little finger and opens the door to take him back in.
-
That night, the young man buries his head in Yan Heyi's arms and begs for forgiveness with tearful eyes. "Gege, I know I was wrong."
Yan Heyi kisses his forehead and answers out of nowhere, "You'll always be the darling I cherish most."
-
The moon wanes, but it will always become full again. Whether waxing or waning, you'll be there.
In spring, we pick tender shoots; in summer, we eat fresh fruit; in autumn, we feast on crab; in winter, we cook warming dishes.
-
The peach blossom wine brewed in spring fills the house with fragrance when uncorked. We get tipsy and swing in the yard, kiss on the swing set, then have my husband carry me to town to buy fresh pastries from the candy shop.
-
Yuan Xi says they'll stay together for a long, long time and grow into two little old men.
-
P.S.:
1. There's no imperial court, and no becoming a high-ranking official. They don't seem to get rich, either. Mr. Yan spends the little money he earns on treats for Yuan Xi.
2. There are no other relatives. They raise a little dog and seven chicks. The story starts at the Awakening of Insects and ends at the next year's Awakening of Insects. Each volume covers one solar term, and it's simply the little everyday life of two people as they go through all twenty-four solar terms together.
3. Mr. Yan spoils Yuan Xi terribly. He does all the laundry and cooking at home, and Yuan Xi is so doted on that he sometimes gets carried away and pushes his luck.
4. Mr. Yan is awkward, has a frosty face, and is intensely shy around people. Yuan Xi has his own little flaws, too. They heal each other and gradually change.
5. Set in the southern country, at the foot of Huishou Mountain, beside Lanxi Creek, in Ping'an Village.
The local customs are simple, class distinctions aren't clear-cut, and people are free to marry whom they like. It's somewhat utopian, so please forgive any parts of the story that don't make sense (sheepish finger hearts) (another finger heart) (bows in thanks).
6. Love you, love you, love you~

One day in some month of some year, the headline in the capital's gossip rag reads:
At dawn, the Great General and his soldiers and servants stand in neat formation outside the general's residence.
The Great General is cold-hearted and ruthless, with countless lives on his hands. Anyone who could make this terrifying man wait outside so early must either be an ancestor or someone about to be sent to meet one.
Alas! The onlookers say there's nothing they can bear to watch.
They wait until noon, when a carriage finally arrives. The Great General's glare looks hot enough to blast the entire carriage into the sky.
But then...
A little, milky-white child jumps down from the carriage, throws his arms around the Great General's neck, gives him several smacking kisses, and cries out:
"Husband!"
The onlookers bend down to pick their eyeballs up off the ground...

Everyone at the Imperial College knows Tang Huaizhi doesn't have a powerful backer, but he does have a formidable one.
The one who would give his life for him, the Great General.
Tang Huaizhi is stubborn, too. After all, his given name is Tiezhu, and he's known as "the third toughest kid in Class A of the Imperial College's junior division."
Well... it's not the most impressive title, but it sure is long.
1.
Tang Huaizhi:
Hey, you know what? My husband is the Great General of this dynasty. He's young, accomplished, and peerlessly handsome. His Majesty is very fond of him.
Every time he comes back from the palace, he brings me the snacks His Majesty or the nobles have bestowed on him. You can't buy them on the street.
Don't let how decisive and fierce my husband is outside fool you. At home, he's completely different. He often puts on a little apron and cooks delicious food for me.
Oh, and here's a secret: my husband is so gentle in bed. Oh, this is so embarrassing!
All right, all right, that's enough. My husband is here.
(runs off at top speed)
Luo Qinglan (galloping at full speed) (whipping his horse):
Tang Tiezhu! Stop right there! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm no husband!
2.
Tang Huaizhi (squirming) (clinging): Husband~ Hu-hu-husband~ Great General~
Luo Qinglan: What are you up to now?
A fussy, annoying, clingy, doted-on bottom vs. a ruthless man who is actually an all-purpose, motherly Great General top
Growing-up romance, rugged top seduces bottom, older top who spoils him

Theme: Cherish the life you have now, and strive to become better
Hmm... The role of the deputy CP is a bit too much. It feels like it has become the home of their love triangle...
Old age makes me forgetful, but I never forget my lovesickness.
I have read the end. In fact, the novel has nourished my stomach for several months. This book cured me. I didn't realize until I was halfway through the article that it was already a year ago. The teacher's writing is really good. I really like this background and setting. The elder brother and Mr. Yan spent countless seasons in an ordinary and beautiful utopia. The final old age episode was a bit sad, haha. Sure enough, the lifespan theory is the most melancholy ending.
There are magnolia flowers in my eyes, woo woo woo, what a mutual love between Yuan Xi and her husband! Finished Spreading Flowers Spreading Flowers Spreading Flowers
Dada~ (Pounces into Dada's arms) (Holds Dada) Tie Tie~
Good evening, dear Tie Tie
Hey, hello, big daddy (pounces) (hugs dada) (starts rubbing wildly) and big daddy Tie Tie
Good evening, thank you very much~
Thank you very much! The internet connection in the dormitory is very good! Others always fail to swipe our Jinjiang swipe several times, woo woo woo (thrown into Da Da's arms for comfort QAQ)
Good evening, dear Tie Tie
