After Reluctantly Marrying a Young Husband

[My new novel, I Became the Villainous Husband of a Successful Candidate, is now available!] When the old master of the Ye family in the county town dies, Madam Ye plans to marry off her beautiful illegitimate son, Ye Miao, as a concubine to a wealthy old landlord in the countryside before returning home with the coffin, hoping to ease years of resentment. Ye Miao pretends to have contracted leprosy. Madam Ye, in a hurry to return home, changes her mind and throws Ye Miao and his father out. Penniless, Ye Miao takes his father to Wuligou Village to seek refuge with his maternal uncle. But who could have guessed that his uncle also wants him to become a concubine for the landlord in the neighboring village?! Ye Miao decides to marry himself off once and for all to put an end to the trouble. He takes a fancy to Qin Jin, the fourth son of the Qin family next door, because the man is so strong he can lift Ye Miao's uncle with one hand and carry him out the door! But Qin Jin looks at him with nothing but pure innocence, not the slightest trace of improper thoughts about his face. Just as Ye Miao is at a loss, he is so exhausted while washing clothes by the river that he accidentally falls into the water. As he struggles desperately, a pair of powerful arms wrap around his waist and carry him to shore in front of everyone. His summer clothes are thin, and he looks up at the other man in fear and helplessness. It's Qin Jin. What? If you save a young man, you have to marry him? Qin Jin is completely baffled. He's straight! Even if that young man named Ye Miao is handsome, he's still a boy! But Qin Jin understands the situation the other man is in. With a splitting headache, he secretly calls him to the foot of the mountain. Looking at the man's anxious, numb face, watching the glimmer of hope in his eyes slowly turn to despair, Qin Jin finally raises the corners of his mouth and forces a smile. "When should we get married?" Later. Qin Jin: Heh heh, this is great! Theme: Don't give up. As long as you're alive, life has meaning
