My Husband Is Very "Gentle"

The moment he opened his eyes, Yang Shanpu was back at the age of eighteen.

In his previous life, he spent all he had building a house and working the land for his family. In the end, his biological father despised him, his stepmother made his life difficult, and his younger brother was persecuted to death. After breaking his leg in a fall, he was driven out of the house and spent the rest of his life in poverty.

Reborn, he returned.

When his stepbrother called his younger brother a bastard, he slapped him and shoved his head into the chamber pot.

When his biological father forbade him from being entered in the family register, he burned the whole thing to ashes and put a knife to his father's throat, forcing him to split the household.

When his stepmother spread rumors that he was cursed, bringing disaster to his parents, he turned around, brought a generous betrothal gift, and married Chunlin, a blind male spouse from Taoyuan Village.

The family went up the mountain to clear land and farm. At the spring equinox, they gathered greens and picked fruit. At the summer solstice, they caught fat fish and hunted rabbits. In autumn and winter, they gathered chestnuts and mushrooms and slaughtered a chicken. A bowl of steaming meat soup warmed them from their throats to their lungs.

In the blink of an eye, his little husband was wearing a warm fur coat and living in a house with gray bricks and tiled roofs. Even Yang Shanpu found a renowned doctor to cure his eye condition!

Chunlin had a dream. In it, he married the wrong man and suffered terribly. After being divorced and cast out, he was taken in by a lame hunter, but their fate was brief, and before long he rolled off a cliff and died.

When he woke up, he promptly called off his engagement to the Liu family. As fate would have it, a matchmaker came to arrange a marriage with the hunter from his dream. Chunlin nodded. "I'll marry him!"

Everyone in the village said Chunlin was a silly, simple-minded male spouse. He'd turned down the comfortable life with the Liu family just to marry a broad-shouldered, scowling hunter. The hunter was fierce and violent, not an easy man to get along with.

Chunlin ran his fingers over the thick white cotton padding his husband had carefully tied to the chair's armrests, worried that Chunlin might bump into something because he was blind. Then he remembered the gentle words his husband had whispered that morning while trapping him under the covers and demanding kisses. His face couldn't help turning red.

"My husband is very gentle."
