The 1980s: I Pretend to Be Frail, and the Village's Richest Man Sets His Sights on Me

[Period drama + farming + broke System + rugged male lead + sweet romance]

Heiress Song An'an is tragically thrust into a rebirth-era novel. In the middle of the night, she's caught in bed with a landlord's son.

She insists she's innocent and deftly exposes her cousin's scheme to frame her after running away from her own wedding. Not only does she clear her name, she also saves the landlord's son from being branded a cuckold.

Who knew the landlord's son would cling to her from then on?

Landlord's son Gu Dongsheng: “I'm not clinging to you. I'm showing sympathy, protecting you, making it up to you, and...”

Song An'an: “You're clinging to me.”

Her wicked cousin picks on her, and he protects her.

Her awful grandma tries to hit her, and he protects her.

He repairs her house, brings her vegetables, helps her open a restaurant, and encourages her to learn to read and go to school. Heaven knows, she's actually a straight-A student who speaks six languages.

Even so, her family of bloodsuckers nearly sells her off to an old, shameless bachelor.

Furious, Song An'an abandons her usual meekness and timidity, grabs a cleaver, and smashes up the Song family home, leaving not even a pair of underpants intact.

And then the landlord's son appears again.

Song An'an drops the cleaver and collapses helplessly into his arms, looking bewildered. “Umm, what happened? I'm so tired~~~”

Gu Dongsheng: “The old Song family has abused such a delicate, helpless young woman. It's utterly deranged. They need to be taught a lesson.”

Everyone stares in bewilderment at the Song family's home, smashed to pieces like kindling.
