The Young Scholar's Little Husband

Wen Guyu thought his life had ended the moment he was sold to a human trafficker.

But he refused to give up. One rainy night, he climbed over a wall and escaped, and that was when he first met Song Qiguang.

Song Qiguang saved him, bought him, and married him.

The Song family was in a bad way. Song Qiguang’s mother had died, his father was ill, and only his eldest brother was earning a little money as a hunter.

Wen Guyu’s arrival brought new life to their dilapidated home.

At first, he was insecure, helpless, and afraid of being abandoned again.

So he took on all the housework and cared for his father-in-law and husband.

Later, his husband became a licentiate, and he became a licentiate’s husband. He also began earning money through his family’s traditional brewing business.

Their lives flourished. The eldest brother married, the younger brother married and moved away, and they had a child of their own.

Even in middle age, Song Qiguang passed the provincial examination and became a county magistrate, making them an official’s family.

After spending half a lifetime supporting each other, Guyu lay in Song Qiguang’s arms and asked the question he had always most wanted answered.

“Husband, why did you save me back then?”

Song Qiguang looked at him, affection shining in his eyes.

“The moment I saw you, I knew you were the most important person in my life.”

A cozy, sweet little story. There are disagreements and difficulties, but also mutual support, family, friendship, and love. Everyone works together, their lives get better and better, and the family rises to a new social standing.
