What kind of bad thoughts can my grandpa have?

Synopsis

Yuan Xiaoyan is a determined man whose simple dream of marrying a wife is derailed by a series of misfortunes. After a disastrous encounter with Nan Fengjing, the son of a high-ranking official, Xiaoyan is forced into a female disguise to assist in a criminal investigation. This leads to a contractual fake engagement fueled by Xiaoyan's desperate need for money, though the arrangement becomes permanent when Nan Fengjing decides he cannot let go. This story utilizes the classic fake marriage and cross-dressing tropes often found in historical BL dramas. It is ideal for readers who appreciate a mix of comedy and heartache, while those seeking a purely wholesome romance should avoid it. The pacing is brisk, moving quickly through the initial conflict into a more emotionally taxing relationship. The standout quality is the clash between the protagonist's stubbornness and his complicated financial dependency.
