Summary
Lu Lu accidentally fell into the river and was saved by his stepbrother’s fiancé. As a result, he switched marriage partners with his stepbrother.
His stepbrother married the scholar to whom Lu Lu had been betrothed since childhood, while Lu Lu married the hunter who had pulled him from the water.
The hunter’s name was Shen Ying. He was tall and broad-shouldered, with a rugged face and a stern, cold demeanor.
After marrying, Lu Lu still treaded carefully every day, afraid that the slightest misstep might anger him.
But Shen Ying never raised his voice. Instead, he bought him fine cloth for new garments and made sure he always had enough to eat at every meal.
The only issue was that he was too energetic—every morning, Lu Lu could hardly get out of bed.
Lu Wei had a dream. In his dream, Lu Lu’s scholar husband passed the provincial examination and became a xiucai, and Lu Lu lived in luxury as the glorious scholar’s husband.
As for Lu Wei’s own hunter husband, he broke his leg on a hunt and became crippled, and their days grew worse and worse.
After waking, Lu Wei thought hard and found a way to exchange engagements.
Yet unexpectedly, the scholar never passed the exams; rather, he spent his days indulging in debauchery, gambling and drinking, and frequently beat and scolded him.
By contrast, Lu Lu and his hunter lived lovingly and harmoniously, and their life together only kept getting better.
