In his previous life, Yu Ning trusted the wrong people and met a brutal end.
Reborn, Yu Ning wants to live a good, peaceful life with his hunter husband for the rest of their days.
The two live in the mountains, where the hunter is strong and sturdy. He can catch wild rabbits, hunt wild boars, and pick the sweetest fruit for him.
Though they live in the mountains, Yu Ning thinks life is as sweet as honey.
In this life, Yu Ning just wants to be a lazy homebody, eating, drinking, and sleeping. He obediently listens to his hunter husband. His husband is the only one who treats him well and would never lie to him.
His husband sends him to study and tells him to get along with his classmates.
Study!
In front of the hunter, he behaves himself. Behind his back, he writes essays that leave everyone at the academy speechless.
His husband takes him to live in a new house and tells him to get along with the neighbors.
Sure! ... He sweetly greets everyone in front of his husband, then rolls his eyes so hard they nearly disappear into the heavens as soon as his husband turns away.
Qi Yu married a man, a scholar with exceptionally good looks. Qi Yu dotes on him so much that he fears his beloved might get too warm in his hands or melt in his heart.
My husband is young, tongue-tied, and gentle. Everyone, please be patient with him.
Villager: ? That scholar who spent ages scolding people at the village entrance without using a single curse word is tongue-tied?
Villager: ! Gentle? He couldn't win an argument with me, so he brought you along to beat me up. How is that gentle?
Qi Yu: You people are always badmouthing my darling behind his back. My darling has already told me all about you.
Bonus scene:
Qi Yu leaves home to earn money, then sneaks back for a visit.
He sees his own delicate, gentle husband with his hands on his hips, cursing someone out in the harshest terms imaginable.
Villagers: Do you believe us now?
Qi Yu: You must have bullied him too much. I wasn't home, so he had no choice but to stand up for himself.
Villagers: These two are seriously messed up... Yes, yes, the whole village bullies you as a couple.
Bonus scene:
After they got married, Yu Ning secretly cried several times before Qi Yu finally noticed.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong? Did someone upset you?"
After a long time comforting him, the young master finally sobbed, "Ever since we got married, you don't dote on me anymore. You even bully me!"
"When have I ever bullied you, sweetheart?"
"In bed! I told you it hurt, and I was crying!" Yu Ning said fiercely.
"I didn't hear you, sweetheart. Next time, call out louder so I'll know," Qi Yu coaxed.
"Really?"
"Really."
The next morning, Yu Ning woke up sobbing. Men are all liars!
He's spoiled, sharp-tongued, and timid, but I love him anyway.
A Ning has plenty of flaws: he's materialistic, petty, mean, and sharp-tongued. He's not meant to be a perfect character.
