The Hunter's Beloved Husband

Gu Nianqing was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He'd been a pampered little darling since childhood, with skin as delicate as silk. After falling into the water, he opened his eyes to find he'd become a farm boy who was unloved by his parents and exploited and oppressed his entire life.

His birthmark was so faint that he couldn't bear children, so no one would marry him. At twenty, he was the oldest unmarried boy in the village. His biased parents, determined to squeeze out every last bit of his worth, accepted a pig and two taels of silver as a bride price from the widowed butcher next door, planning to sell him off as the man's second wife.

Gu Nianqing's vision went black. ...Help!

The pampered young master, who never lifted a finger and couldn't tell the five grains apart, couldn't endure the slightest hardship. He had no choice but to set his sights on the cold-faced, big-built man who lived alone at the western end of the village.

The hunter Qi Su was tall and powerfully built. When he swung his hoe in the fields, his firm, muscular waist and stomach showed. Every movement as he farmed was so handsome!

Qi Su returned from the mountains with a bountiful hunting haul, only to be stopped before he reached his door.

The honest, plain-looking farm boy, who usually never spoke to him, shyly asked, "Big Brother Qi, do you want a wife? You only need to offer a pig and three taels of silver as the bride price!"

Qi Su: ...

The villagers all mocked Qi Su behind his back for being a fool. He'd actually married an ordinary-looking, frail boy who couldn't bear children.

They never expected the newlyweds to live so prosperously that everyone envied them. Not only that, the once sallow, skinny boy blossomed under Qi Su's care and even gave him twins, a boy and a girl.

At first, Gu Nianqing only wanted to avoid marrying the old butcher. He never expected Qi Su to be skilled at everything: working, farming, fishing, and hunting. He might be quiet and look fierce, but he was incredibly good at taking care of his wife!

Childbirth, rural life for a boy, sweet and doting daily life, and farming.
