Selling Me Off? I’ll Just Marry the Toughest Man in the Village

[A towering, burly blacksmith with the strength of a tiger VS a beautiful young widow] [Both leads are devoted to each other + farming + family life + sweet romance] Lin Manniang becomes a widow just three months after getting married. After observing a year of mourning, her family wants her to marry an old widower from the neighboring village and become the stepmother of his teenage son. She refuses. Who would have thought that the very next day, a matchmaker would come to propose on someone’s behalf? Lin Manniang angrily chases her out. A few days later, a man built like a tiger from the village sends the matchmaker to propose to her too. She chases her away as well. That night, Niu Erhu breaks into her home and pins her against the door, asking, “Why won’t you marry me?” Lin Manniang glances at his thick, muscular arms. “You’re so big and strong, with arms that thick. You could kill me with one punch. I’m scared.” “I’d never hit a woman. What are you scared of?” “Your voice is loud too. That scares me.” “My voice may be loud, but I won’t eat you. What are you scared of?” At last, she manages to put the man off and is ready to enjoy a peaceful life. But then her husband’s eldest cousin’s wife turns out to be even worse. She wants to send Lin Manniang to live deep in the mountains, where there are more wolves than meat. If she goes, she’ll become a shared wife! The cousin’s wife accepts the bride price behind her back and plans to knock her unconscious and send her off in a bridal sedan chair! Terrified and at a loss for what to do, Lin Manniang is shocked when Niu Erhu breaks into her home again that night. “I’m asking you for the last time. Will you marry me?” Without a second thought, Lin Manniang nods vigorously. “Yes, yes, yes! I’ll marry you!”
