The Lu family was poor in their early years and had to give away one of their children.
Eighteen years later, both brothers reached the age for marriage.
The older brother, with a strong and domineering personality, was set up with a hot-tempered hunter. At their first meeting, they clashed immediately, slamming tables and glaring at each other, nearly coming to blows over who would be the head of the household.
He thought, “If only I could cancel this engagement.”
The younger brother, gentle and soft-spoken, was matched with a scholar from a family notorious for being “easy prey,” surrounded by greedy relatives. Just a glance from afar made him tremble with fear.
He sighed, “If only I could cancel this engagement.”
By chance, the brothers met and decided to swap their engagements.
The older brother put on the bridal gown and entered the scholar’s household.
On the wedding day, he encountered vulgar wedding pranks. The frail scholar, dazed and confused, tried to protect him but ended up bumping his head in the chaos.
Older brother: ???
“He’s supposed to be aiming for the top scholar title! What are you all doing?!”
The younger brother covered his head with the bridal veil and entered the hunter’s home.
On the wedding night, he waited shyly and obediently for the consummation. But the hunter frowned coldly and sneered, “Stop pretending.”
As soon as the words fell, the young husband’s eyes reddened: “How can you be like this right after we’re married?”
Hunter: ???
“Is there something wrong with you?”
Everyone knew the Xie family was weak and spineless, the kind of household anyone could bully.
Even without any grudges, people would spit in front of their door just because they were in a bad mood.
But from that day on, no one dared.
Xie Yan’s husband knew how to throw a punch!
Meanwhile, the Li family, which everyone expected to be full of constant bickering and fights, now enjoyed warm beds and hot meals every day.
Curious, some sneaked a peek and found Li Feng gently coaxing his husband, “It’s my fault, don’t cry…”
