SYNOPSYS:

Lin Yue was renowned throughout the surrounding villages as a handsome ger—generous in nature and skilled in the kitchen. Suitors lined up from one end of the village to the other. His parents carefully selected a match, but their luck ran out when the chosen one backed out at the last minute.

Though seemingly gentle, Lin Yue possessed a fiery temper. He promptly cursed the entire family out of his house.

While he appeared to have come out unscathed, his reputation took a hit.

Villagers believed this incident would make it difficult for Lin Yue to find a good match, and he himself braced for marriage troubles.

But the next day, a new matchmaker arrived, declaring on behalf of the suitor—to win such a fine bride would be Shen Huizhi’s greatest fortune!

Lin Yue: !!!

Was this matchmaker performing a daily act of kindness by proposing at this moment?

What a genuinely good person!

【Attacker’s Perspective】

While studying at the private school, Shen Huizhi developed feelings for Lin Yue, the ger next door from the Lin family. Believing his own impoverished background unworthy of causing others trouble, he buried his affection deep within, revealing not a hint.

Little did he know that Lin Yue’s marriage plans would fall through. Shen Huai-zhi promptly sent a matchmaker to the Lin household, not seeking the marriage itself, but hoping to restore Lin Yue’s reputation and spare him further distress.

To his utter astonishment, the Lin family agreed.

Shen Huizhi: !!

Only after many years of marriage did Lin Yue gradually discern Shen Huizhi’s true feelings, finding himself unwittingly drawn to the other man as well.

Later, the two walked hand in hand through life’s seasons: listening to cicadas in early summer, bustling with autumn harvests, admiring winter snowfalls, and watching spring foliage. With each passing cycle, their bond deepened and grew.

Three meals a day, seasonal fruits and vegetables, tending to the garden and planting flowers before and behind their home.

A small shop, a private tutoring school.

From the village’s tiled cottages to the modest courtyard in the city, Lin Yue and Shen Huizhi lived a life filled with warmth and joy.
