[Period setting + sweet and satisfying romance + a scumbag’s wife-chasing crematorium + second male lead wins] Lu Yan is going to marry the ugliest woman in Houshanwa. Everyone thinks he’s wasting a beautiful flower on a pile of cow dung like Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning is lazy and greedy, and on top of that, she has the hots for Lin Anhe, the educated youth. She throws herself at him, becoming a laughingstock among the villagers of Houshanwa.
She’s a vicious woman, too. Just to get a bite of chicken, she goads Lu Yan’s nine-year-old son into stealing one. When the boy refuses, she beats him mercilessly. He runs away from home and nearly gets mauled by wolves in the hills.
Everyone thinks it’s a real tragedy. Jiang Ning is going to ruin Lu Yan and his son’s lives.
But soon, everyone notices something new:
“That nearly three-hundred-jin fat woman has stopped chasing Lin Anhe. Now she’s copying pretty girls, flirting with Lu Yan and acting all sweet?”
Jiang Ning pouts. “So what if I’m fat? I can flirt and act sweet too. A woman who knows how to pout gets the best life.”
Little by little, people notice Jiang Ning getting prettier the more she flirts, and slimmer the more she acts sweet. Even more shocking is the question they can’t stop asking:
“When did Houshanwa’s useless, wicked woman become a doctor?”
Faced with everyone’s respect, Jiang Ning remains calm. “What’s so special about being a doctor? I’d rather be the richest woman around.”
She devotes herself to saving lives and making money, and doesn’t care about anyone except that little boy. She’s not even interested in the handsome man, spending every day cuddled up to her own husband and acting sweet.
Holding four babies at once, the handsome man looks utterly dismayed. “Honey, weren’t you unable to have children?”
Jiang Ning raises an eyebrow. “The more a husband loves his kids, the more kids he gets. The more he spoils his wife, the more prosperous the family becomes.”
