Du Heng transmigrated into a cripple, a man whom a fierce young master took home as a husband.
The young master (fierce): “Since your legs aren’t working right, don’t think about running off. Behave as my husband, and I’ll make sure you’re never hungry.”
Du Heng: …
A grown man reduced to living off someone else? Impossible! Even if he’d transmigrated, he would never submit!
—The next day, the young master returned from the fields to find the yard filled with the dirty clothes he had changed out of the night before, and three perfectly cooked dishes on the table.
Du Heng: As long as I cooked it myself, it doesn’t count as living off anyone.
—That night, Du Heng was about to blow out the lamp and sleep, when the young master walked in, stripping off clothes as he climbed into bed.
Young master: “Let’s take care of things while there’s free time. Lie still, I’ll handle it.”
Du Heng clenched the corner of his blanket with gritted teeth. He hadn’t even had a romantic encounter before—this was only the third day they’d met! No way would he yield!
—The following year, the little one ran around the yard. Du Heng put down his book with a sigh, picked up the child, and went to call his husband home for dinner.
