The Zhao Family's Young Husband

As the old saying goes, being born into a good family takes skill, and my buddy and I are practically a study in contrasts.

Me: A wild kid from a poor farming family. We barely get two meals a day, and even those are mostly weeds. Sometimes there's nothing to eat at all.

And I'm a skinny little ger, too!

My buddy: A rich young master from a wealthy family. Three fine meals a day, with everything he could want.

He's a strong, capable boy.

I said, "Just look at him, and then look at me..."

Hmph, you think I'm jealous and want to become a vicious male supporting character?

Wrong. I want to...

"Buddy, please take me along for the ride!"

"Sure."

Two buddies hand in hand, picking lotus pods during the summer harvest and brewing sauce in autumn. When there's free time, they stew crispy pork around the hearth. Days filled with the warmth of everyday life, peaceful year after year, staying by each other's side from dawn to dusk.

Two men transported to another world, farming together, childhood friends reunited, a doting husband, and the simple warmth of city life. A slow-paced story about taking life as it comes.
