Blurb: Rugged hunter Han Yang (gong) x young widower Lan Xi, married to bring good fortune (shou), one-on-one, happy ending Lan Xi is the least favored youngest child in his family. He is married off to bring good fortune to the ailing Han Er of Baicao Village, becoming a "male wife." Han Yang was orphaned young. His uncle's family grudgingly took him in, but when he returned from hunting in the mountains, they dragged him off to stand in for his cousin Han Er at the wedding. His new cousin-in-law's pale wrist showed at the other end of the red silk. Han Yang took a quick look, then silently turned his eyes away. Life in Baicao Village is hard. Poverty is one thing, but the Han family also restricts Lan Xi at every turn. When he wants to help make tofu and earn money for the household, they scold him for wanting to show himself in public and bring shame on the family. The harsh words slowly extinguish Lan Xi's hopes. In a place he cannot see, Han Yang stands in the shadows, watching him with a frown. * The next time Han Yang takes a good look at Lan Xi is at his cousin's funeral. His cousin's wife has become a "widower," dressed in mourning clothes, his eyes hollow, his expression a mix of sorrow and confusion. In Han Yang's eyes, he looks utterly pitiful. The tall, broad-shouldered Han Yang becomes a part of Lan Xi's life. He helps Lan Xi open a tofu shop, shields him from gossip, and drives away people with ulterior motives. Life gets better day by day. Lan Xi becomes a famous "tofu shopkeeper" far and wide, and more and more people begin to look his way. Han Yang grows anxious. He grabs Lan Xi by the wrist, his rough fingers rubbing against Lan Xi's skin until it aches and tingles. He cries out, "Xi'er, I know I'm asking for the impossible. But I was the one who brought you home, the one who married you, and the one who lifted your veil. So it should be me who stays with you for all our lives!" Reader's notes: 1. Everyone is a native of this world. There's no golden finger, just a simple story about farming and daily life. 2. The shou had no feelings for or physical relationship with his original husband. He only starts a romance with the gong after the original husband is dead and buried. 3. An imaginary ancient setting with no real-world basis. Theme: Work hard and bravely to build a better life.
