The Rugged Groom and the Delicate Man

Duan Yixing is a general-practice doctor from a family with a long medical tradition. He inherited his family's craft. Before he could even talk, he already knew medicinal herbs. When he grew up, he lived up to expectations and opened his own hospital. Thanks to his superb medical skills, the local top-tier hospitals had to take a back seat, and his surgeries were booked a year in advance.

But this rising star of the medical world was caught up in a hospital dispute and stabbed to death by an agitated patient's family member.

When he opens his eyes again, he has become a poor little orphan with nowhere to call home, dependent on others for shelter.

This poor little orphan was raised by his uncle and aunt from a young age. No one loved him, but he loved them dearly. In hopes of winning even a little affection from them, he risked his life to work like an ox and a horse for their family.

Unfortunately, even then, he couldn't get so much as a glance from his uncle and aunt. To raise the money for his cousin's wedding, they plan to sell him as a husband to the village idiot, a foolish male spouse.

The original owner refuses, so his uncle and aunt break his leg, tie him up, and throw him into the woodshed. They've already accepted the bride price. All that's left is to wait for the appointed day and send him off to marry into the other family.

The original owner has spent his life in a daze. No one ever taught him how the world works, but he isn't so desperate that he'd kill himself. If he really does marry the foolish male spouse, the two of them might even manage to get by. The problem is his broken leg. No one will treat it. His uncle and aunt don't want to spend the money, figuring the other family will pay to have it treated once he's married into their home.

But the original owner's constitution is weak. Since his leg isn't treated in time, he dies, and Duan Yixing takes over his body.

Duan Yixing is nothing like the original owner. He'd rather die than submit. But he's new here, and he can't fight those with power. With people about to force him into a marriage, he turns his attention to a rough male spouse in the same village with a terrible reputation.

That male spouse is extremely rough, rougher than a man. That's hardly a good thing for a male spouse expected to marry, serve his husband, and bear children. It's practically an insult. But the man is ferocious, the kind who'll draw a blade and kill, and he's even been to war. That only makes his reputation worse. After seven years in the military camp, eating and living with so many men and sleeping on the same heated kang, who would believe he still has his virtue intact?

Duan Yixing doesn't care about any of that. He's a weakling with a combat rating of minus five, and the heaviest thing he's ever lifted is a scalpel. He's always envied other people's strength, so he takes one look at that rough male spouse and falls for him.

So Duan Yixing uses every trick he can, seducing him in every way imaginable, until he finally wins the rough male spouse over.
