Description
Xu Huaiqian traveled through time to the body of a sickly scholar in ancient times. His parents had just passed away, and his cousin mortgaged him to the village bully for ten taels of silver to be his husband. He had no objection to being a bought-in husband, but he opposed arranged marriages! He dragged his sick body, panting every three steps, and wanted to find the bully to make things clear. After paying off the debt, he would ask to leave. But when he saw the bully for the first time, he suddenly felt that arranged marriages were not impossible. – Chen Liejiu went to collect the debt and kidnapped the sick husband back. The villagers said that he was so hungry that he wanted to eat even a sick man who was about to die. Chen Liejiu, who never believed in fate, fed his sick husband with good food and medicine. He didn’t believe it. How could he die young like this? – Later, Xu Huaiqian passed the imperial examination and became a first-rank official. He lived a hundred years and left countless documents. The students who recited them in the future generations could not believe that this was the weak and sickly Prime Minister in history who coughed up blood and fainted in the court at any time. Everyone thought that he would not live long.

My Thoughts on Lie Jiu’s Little Husband
"Lie Jiu’s Little Husband" promised a charming historical yaoi with a touch of fantasy, and while it has moments that shine, my reading experience was a bit of a mixed bag. With its blend of comedy, drama, and slice-of-life elements, it certainly aims to deliver a unique story.
First Impressions
The premise immediately caught my attention: a transmigrated scholar finding himself entangled with a younger, clingy lover in ancient times. The sheer number of tags, ranging from age progression to childcare, hinted at a complex and potentially heartwarming narrative. I went in expecting a delightful slow-burn romance with a charismatic protagonist.
What Works Well
The world-building is actually quite engaging. The author paints a vivid picture of ancient society, and the slice-of-life aspects make the story feel grounded, despite the fantastical elements. The side characters also stood out to me; their interactions and individual stories added depth to the overall narrative. The comedy is well-timed and provides a lighthearted counterpoint to the more dramatic moments. I also appreciated the exploration of themes like brotherhood and childhood love, which added emotional resonance.
Areas of Concern
I did find some aspects of the main character, Xu Huaiqian, a little jarring. While his intelligence and scholarly abilities are undeniable, his behavior sometimes felt inconsistent with his age and supposed maturity. There were moments where his actions seemed childish, particularly when dealing with authority figures, which pulled me out of the story. The dynamic between the two leads also felt somewhat unbalanced at times.

Final Verdict
Despite some reservations, "Lie Jiu’s Little Husband" has undeniable charm. The engaging world-building, entertaining side characters, and moments of genuine humor make it a worthwhile read. However, the inconsistencies in the main character's behavior and the somewhat uneven dynamic between the leads kept me from fully falling in love with the story. I'd recommend it to readers who enjoy historical yaoi with a focus on slice-of-life and don't mind some potentially frustrating character quirks.
