I Became a Cannon Fodder in the 1960s, Abandoned by the Poorest, Rugged Man in the Village

When Su Yao transmigrated into a novel set in a bygone era, she arrived just as the original owner was staging a fall into the water to force the military officer hero to marry her. According to the plot, he would despise her, the whole village would curse her, and she would eventually die miserably in a cattle shed. She spun around and plunged into the arms of the village’s poorest, burliest bachelor instead.

“Don’t move. Let me hold you for a bit. What’s that smell on you?”

The man stood there stiffly. “I just finished digging river mud...”

Six months later, the military officer hero looked on at Su Yao, radiant and beautiful, and regretted everything.

Meanwhile, the burly man who once couldn’t even afford shoes was tenderly slipping the latest little leather shoes onto her feet.
