The Fisherman’s Husband

Gu Lianqiu is handsome, wealthy, and well-off. In the county, young talents are always vying for his attention. No matter how many people ask for his hand, Lianqiu brushes them all off. He doesn't want to marry into another family; he wants to bring a live-in son-in-law home and live life on his own terms. As it happens, Feng Sui, a scholar who has just passed the county-level imperial examination, seems like a good choice. But being a live-in son-in-law has never been a respectable position, and the scholar is slow to agree. Gu Lianqiu is spoiled and willful, and after going back and forth for a while, he angrily gives up and decides to look for someone else. Just as Lianqiu starts meeting other prospects, the scholar, who had seemed so distant, hurries over, eyes red, and demands: "Brother Qiu, are you really so heartless?" Gu Lianqiu covers his face with a handkerchief, the corners of his mouth secretly lifting. Only after the two finally confess their feelings and get married does Lianqiu learn that his husband has lost his memory. Suspicious, Lianqiu probes him: "Who were you before? You can't possibly be higher in status than me, or I won't have you." Wasn't the whole point of taking a live-in son-in-law to live freely and be the boss at home? What if Feng Sui outranked him? Feng Sui, who has already regained his memories, placates him without batting an eye. "No, don't worry. I'm just a scholar." His husband doesn't want him to have too high a status, so he'll keep it hidden for now and make sure he's happy. Unfortunately, no secret stays buried forever. When the truth comes out, Lianqiu, eyes red, calls Feng Sui a liar and clamors for a divorce. But his husband, usually endlessly indulgent, darkens his expression and holds him captive in his arms, demanding coldly, "Husband, you promised that I would be the only one for you in this life. Are you going to break your vow?" Willful, spirited, and cheerful bottom x gentlemanly on the surface, awkward and jealous top One-on-one romance, both leads are inexperienced Coming soon: The Wicked Side Character Refuses to Be Everyone's Favorite, My Roommate Is Deluding Himself, and My Two-Tael Husband To earn points, the uptight Wen Yu decides to take on the wicked side-character role that everyone despises but that offers a hefty reward. System: "What's our goal?" Wen Yu says solemnly, his face stern: "Complete missions, earn points, and reach the pinnacle of life!" The System nods in satisfaction, then sees Wen Yu blink his lovely, bewildered eyes. After a moment's hesitation, it can't help reminding him: "Remember, don't let the bad dogs in the mission worlds fool you." Wen Yu: ? Could a bad dog really bite him while he's playing a wicked side character? World One: The Money-Grubbing, Vain, and Cruel Roommate World One: The Money-Grubbing, Vain, and Wicked Roommate Wen Yu is a vain, money-grubbing streamer. He looks down on the protagonist bottom, his roommate, and looks down even more on the protagonist top, whom the bottom dragged home from who-knows-where. The only person he treats well is the top donor, who spends money generously. The taciturn protagonist bottom hands Wen Yu his salary card, his dark eyes fixed on him as he says earnestly, "Yuyu, I'll work hard and buy you everything you like." The carefree protagonist top offers him a luxurious estate at the drop of a hat, looking at Wen Yu with an amused smile. "Like it? If you come with me, you can have anything you want." The dependable top donor goes even further and sends him a marriage contract, saying seriously, "Marry me, and I'll transfer all my businesses to you." Wen Yu, diligently following his wicked side-character mission: ? Wait, is this right? Why are you treating the wicked side character so well? Are you trying to make me fail my mission? World Two: The Foolish Young Master Who Takes by Force Wen Yu is the spoiled, useless young master of the Wen family. Since his parents always compare him to the ruthless protagonist top, Wen Yu gets ahead of him by keeping the protagonist top's beloved, the protagonist bottom, as his sugar baby. He takes the protagonist bottom around to show off in front of the protagonist top, deliberately acting intimate with him, but stops just before the protagonist top loses his temper. He keeps this up until the plot causes his family to go bankrupt and he prepares to flee abroad: The protagonist top, who has held back for a long time, is impeccably dressed, but his eyes brim with turbulent emotion. "Wen Yu, your grades are terrible. Can you really survive overseas on your own? Why not beg me? I might consider giving you the Gu family." After realizing that tears won't make the hard-hearted Wen Yu stay, the sweet, innocent protagonist bottom drops his mask and grabs Wen Yu's slender wrist. "Yuyu, are you leaving me? I've been with you for a whole year. Or have you grown tired of keeping me? In that case, let me keep you instead." Wen Yu, still following the script step by step: ? Wen Yu: System, is there something wrong with my script? They've got completely different scripts from mine! Aaaaaah!
