(I moved this premise to another account to write it. Maybe we'll meet again someday.)

Li Chuo dropped out of school at a young age and took a job because his family was so poor. At twenty-three, his wealthy biological parents came looking for him. Everyone thought the real young master would finally get to live a good life.
But his parents had found him so he could marry Fu Zhiheng in place of their fake young master.
Fu Zhiheng, head of the Fu family, was a powerful and aloof figure, widely regarded in business as someone no one dared cross.
Then a car accident a few years ago turned him from the favored son of heaven into a man in a vegetative state.
Li Chuo's biological parents couldn't bear to let their fake young master marry an unconscious old man, so they went to Li Chuo instead.
Li Chuo: So you're saying... it's a job with a huge fixed monthly salary and full benefits, gourmet meals at work, a villa for a workplace, and a boss who lies in bed all year and doesn't need to talk to me? OAO
Li Chuo: Hello, what time does the civil affairs bureau close? If I run there now, can I still make it? QAQ
After the wedding, Li Chuo diligently did his job: changing his client's clothes, giving him massages, helping him with rehabilitation, and telling him stories.
Six months later, the doctor said a miracle had happened. His vegetative husband was about to wake up.
Everyone was waiting to laugh at him. The first thing Fu Zhiheng would do when he woke up was dump Li Chuo, the country bumpkin even his own parents looked down on.
After all, Li Chuo wasn't highly educated and had never seen much of the world. He wouldn't just be a poor match for Fu Zhiheng, he'd stick out like a sore thumb in high society.
So when Fu Zhiheng first opened his eyes, Li Chuo wisely left the divorce papers behind and ran away.

While Li Chuo was washing dishes in a restaurant kitchen, a black Rolls-Royce drove into the narrow alley behind it.
The rear door opened. Fu Zhiheng got out in a dark suit and glanced at Li Chuo's hands, covered in calluses and cuts. His voice was low. “You'd rather wash dishes than stay by my side?”
Li Chuo looked confused. “...I guess?”
Fu Zhiheng's eyes gradually darkened. “Li Chuo, come home.”
That night, Li Chuo worked the hardest shift of his life, getting thoroughly bullied from head to toe.

Later, everyone in City A knew that the formidable Fu Zhiheng had a little husband whom he treasured above all else.
He sent him to the best schools, taught him how to run the company, took him to all the restaurants that were hardest to book, and decked him out in tasteful clothes and accessories.
He taught him how to make money, and how to spend it.
He laid the whole world before Li Chuo, then told him: “Take whatever you like.”
He was going to raise his little husband all over again.
