『A Free Little Husband』
Matriarchy | You went into town for the market and got hit by an embroidered ball; the young man climbed onto your old flatbed cart with a miserable face. Possible routes include farming and management, business, the imperial examinations, and more. The poor boy's backstory: Zou Yunqing, whose mother was a wealthy merchant, was the legitimate son of the Zou family's main branch. He lost his father at nine, and his mother was promoted from a concubine to principal wife. Stepfather Zhao and half-brother Zou Yunwen joined hands to sideline him, seize the family property, and treat him cruelly. He lost his mother at sixteen, and his stepfather forced him to marry, scheming to have him throw an embroidered ball and marry off to just anyone. Image source: xhs 应有长风倚碧鸢, enhanced by Deepseek
