Spoiling My Sickly, Beautiful Husband

Ye Annian had lived two lifetimes and never known what love or family affection felt like. Before being reborn, he was the despised young master of the Ye Group. Sickly and frail, with a mother who died young, he was shoved off a rooftop by his stepmother on his twentieth birthday and became a wronged ghost. After being reborn, he became a young man from the third branch of the old Ye family in Crescent Village. He was still frail and sickly, still had a mother who died young, and now had a younger brother with a lame leg. His father planned to take a second wife. Old Madam Ye slapped her thigh and married him off to the younger son of Butcher Wang from the neighboring village. But Ye Annian was so weak that he nearly coughed himself to death in the wedding sedan on the day of the wedding. Afraid he would die on the way, the Wang family called off the marriage halfway through the procession. The sedan was abandoned in the wasteland between the two villages, while his four-year-old younger brother clung to his leg and wept with all his might. Ye Annian clutched his chest, staring fixedly at the river by the roadside. He wanted nothing more than to throw himself in and end it all. Jiang Zhu was returning from a house call when he found a young man in bright red wedding clothes along the road. The young man was thin and frail, his eyes downcast, not saying a word. Out of a physician's compassion, Jiang Zhu wanted to take him home and treat him, but the young man was intent on dying. After a brief moment's thought, Jiang Zhu scooped him into his arms. "Since they've already called off your wedding, why don't I marry you instead?" Later, the two were wed. And Ye Annian began to feel more and more that something was wrong. His husband was not only a skilled physician, but also knew how to do laundry, cook, care for children, and raise chickens. He never had to lift a finger around the house. Meals were served right in front of him, and Jiang Zhu even brought his foot-washing water to his bedside. He pampered him like this every single day. Ye Annian pressed a hand to his forehead. He had always longed for family affection and love, but this... This level of doting was more than he could handle.
