Age gap | Size difference | Married first, fall in love later | Everyday romance for two | The bottom raises little animals, the top raises his little Orange

Ning Zhicheng is an illegitimate child left behind in the countryside. He's a sweet-looking, soft-spoken, slender and delicate pretty boy.

To fulfill his older brother's marriage contract, he is sent to the Shang family as soon as he comes of age and marries Shang Mingjun.

Shang Mingjun was supposed to inherit one of the most powerful wealthy families. After an accident leaves him with an injured leg, his family casts him aside like a pawn and sends him to a country estate, where he gets by on a fixed monthly trust fund.

Ning Zhicheng's eyes light up when he hears this: A huge estate, a fixed monthly allowance, and a husband with a broken leg who won't go out and fool around... Is this a dream?

As for taking care of a disabled husband...

He's raised pigs, chickens, and ducks in the countryside.

Taking care of one person is nothing. Ovo!

According to rumors, Shang Mingjun is cold and indifferent, and after becoming disabled, his moods are even more unpredictable.

Afraid that he, a country bumpkin, might get sent back, Ning Zhicheng decides to pretend he's a young master raised in the city. "I'm super picky about food, I never do housework, and I'm afraid of the dark. I have to sleep with a night-light on..."

That should make him a good match for a city boy like Shang Mingjun, right?

His nominal husband sits upright in his wheelchair, his deep-set features shadowed. His gaze settles heavily on Ning Zhicheng's nervously entwined fingers as he replies coolly, "Suit yourself."

But when Ning Zhicheng goes to bed that night, there's indeed a night-light beside his pillow.

Ning Zhicheng thinks happily that his husband may put on airs, but he's actually easy to fool...

Ahem, he's actually quite loyal.

With a husband so easy to fool, Ning Zhicheng's life among the wealthy is relaxed and lucky.

As he bends over to hoe weeds and plant vegetables in the garden, the housekeeper happens to bring him a sun hat and gloves and reminds him not to hurt his hands.

He secretly adds ducks and geese to the estate's flock of swans, and there's always someone to feed them and collect their eggs.

He sneaks too many little cakes and curls up in pain, and someone gently rubs his belly for him...

Ning Zhicheng thinks he's dreaming. He hums as he's rubbed and even gives instructions: "A little harder. We're not like you city people. I can take it..."

Before he can finish, he suddenly freezes.

In the dark, Shang Mingjun's hand is still resting on his stomach. He looks at the extinguished night-light with an amused expression. "Picky about food? Don't do housework? And aren't you afraid of the dark and unable to sleep without a night-light?"

Ning Zhicheng: "..."

Oh no.

Husband, hear me out!

Everyone knows Shang Mingjun is a legend.

After he injured his leg and lost his standing, everyone thought he'd never recover. Yet in less than a year, he had the Shang family back in his hands.

And yet a man like him married a country bumpkin. Everyone waits to see Ning Zhicheng thrown out of the house. Instead, Shang Mingjun returns with an exorbitant bride price and holds a second wedding with Ning Zhicheng.

Everyone is stunned. Who would have guessed that Shang Mingjun, usually so low-key and reclusive, would make such a grand public display of affection?

Ning Zhicheng, however, is unhappy. "The strawberries I planted are about to ripen. If I go to the wedding, I won't have time to pick them."

Shang Mingjun knew he'd say that. "I'll pick them for you before we go. Baby, don't think you can escape."

At first, Shang Mingjun thinks Ning Zhicheng is simply his responsibility, and that if Ning Zhicheng wants, he can divorce him.

Later, Shang Mingjun realizes that he'll never be able to let Ning Zhicheng go for the rest of his life.

[Bonus Scene]

One day, Ning Zhicheng pretends to be considerate and offers to massage Shang Mingjun's leg. After a while, he gets bored and pokes it with a finger. "Husband, why is your leg so cold? Will it still work?"

Later, Ning Zhicheng is held in Shang Mingjun's arms, unable to get the words out. "I... I can't..."

"Who says it can't?" The man kisses the corner of his mouth. Sweat rolls down his temple. Though his face is expressionless, he is devastatingly sexy and domineering. "Baby, your husband works just fine."

△ Monogamous 1v1, both leads' first times together, HE

△ Set in a fictional modern world. The bottom is an adult. No logic, just sweetness.

Foreign-educated young master x feudal family patriarch

Fictional Republican-era setting

Second Young Master Meng has spent years studying abroad, living a carefree life. Only when his father falls gravely ill is he summoned home.

But at his father's bedside, he is told that he isn't his biological son.

The young master turns out to be a fake phoenix, and Meng Jingping is distraught.

He knows he doesn't get along with the current head of the Meng family, his half-brother Meng Xuechen.

Meng Xuechen is rigid and stern, and treats him with utmost coldness.

Once their father dies, this fake young master is sure to be driven out and left to fend for himself.

Meng Jingping makes two plans.

He tries to win over Meng Xuechen while also looking for someone who can support him long-term.

With his exceptional looks, he finds a suitable man with a crook of his finger.

The man is well-off and treats him like a god.

But with Meng Xuechen, he repeatedly hits a wall.

Even when he accidentally brushes Meng Xuechen's fingers while serving him tea, Meng Xuechen simply sweeps away.

It seems his older brother sees him as a menace and is determined to get rid of him once and for all.

Feeling stifled under the restrictions, Meng Jingping sneaks over the wall one night to elope with his lover.

Freedom is right in front of him. Meng Jingping beams, but suddenly everything goes black.

When he opens his eyes again, he's back at the Meng residence.

The dragon-and-phoenix wedding candles burn high in the room, and he's been dressed in a bright red wedding outfit.

His older brother, always proper, self-controlled, and untouchable, holds a wedding scale and lifts the veil from his head.

"Before Father died, he repeatedly urged us to live in harmony and carry on the Meng family line. You are the younger brother Father left to me, so you belong to me. So, Jingping..."

Meng Xuechen gently strokes his cheek, his tone flat.

But his gaze burns with terrifying intensity.

"Give me a child."
