Was there a novel where the male protagonist seemed to have the ability to control the power of wood?

In a book from a long time ago, the male lead was a good-for-nothing at first. He was very gentle, but later on, he had the ability of the wood element and his weapon was rattan. The female lead had been engaged to him since they were young. Her name was Ye Rou or something.
The background was similar to the Eastern Continent, and the emotions were well written. There was a plot where the male protagonist had no choice but to trap the female protagonist for some reason. The female protagonist kept wanting to go out, as if it was for her child or something...
Can anyone remember?
It wasn't Battle Through the Heavens! Much earlier than it! It was about the same time as the Son of Light...

Answer 1

I recommend "Husband, Work Hard in Cultivation" to you. The male protagonist is a wood-type ability user. In the foreign world, he can use his wood-type ability to grow vegetables, fight, and heal. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
