[Blurb]
In her previous life, Wen Ziyu was too timid and too easily swayed. Her Second Aunt tricked him into marrying a poor scholar in town as his husband.
The poor scholar looked every bit the refined gentleman, but in private he was domineering, vile, and cruel by nature. Less than two years after their wedding, he abused Wen Ziyu to death.
Reborn, Wen Ziyu swore he would never let anyone bully him again!
After the poor scholar was disgraced and died a miserable death in the street, the neighbors started gossiping behind Wen Ziyu's back.
They said the young master of the Wen family had a fierce temper and would be hard to marry off. He was bound to end up alone for the rest of his life.
Some busybodies even set up a betting pool, wagering on who could pluck this thorny flower.
Wen Ziyu paid them no mind. Wielding a big wooden club, he cracked the skulls of every suitor who coveted his family's fortune.
Jiang Yuchuan was confident he was too tough to die. He made a grand entrance in his fine clothes, blocking the doorway as he waved his jade-handled folding fan.
“I hear the young master of the Wen family is of age, yet no one dares marry him? As it happens, I have an unusual build and thick skin, and can take a beating. Surely I am the perfect match heaven has sent for Young Master Wen.”
Wen Ziyu: “There are still people who don't know when to quit?! Come on, let's see how thick your skin is and how much of a beating you can take!”

Jiang Yuchuan never expected to be reborn after dying.
In his previous life, his parents died young, and he was easy prey as a child. His relatives in the clan deceived him, and after he squandered all his money, he was reduced to begging for a living.
One day, someone beat him until he was covered in blood and couldn't get up. A gentle, delicate young man came to his aid.
Jiang Yuchuan later learned that the young man was the husband of a poor scholar.
That scholar was a truly vile person. The young man had a miserable life with him, but Jiang Yuchuan died before he could save him from that suffering.
Living a second life, Jiang Yuchuan no longer trusted his relatives' so-called help. He protected his inheritance and made his own way.
When he heard that the young man was still unmarried, he immediately dressed himself up and went to propose.
He never expected the gentle, delicate young man from his memories to wield his staff with such heroic flair.
Jiang Yuchuan smiled. “Excellent. I have no other talents, but I do have a hard head.”
1. Both are reborn, and two people starved of love warm each other's hearts.
2. A shameless, itching-for-a-beating top who gets walloped every day, and a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted bottom who turns obedient and sweet with one kiss. The bottom isn't short-tempered.
3. Both are faithful to each other. HE. (The bottom was married in his previous life, but the poor scholar was impotent.)
