Synopsis

Li Xianglian married into the Zhao family three years ago. She has worked like an ox, eating husks and wild greens. Her husband, who lives in the city, hasn’t come home once in three years. To protect her son’s future, her wicked mother-in-law is actually planning to sell her off to a remote mountain village! Desperate, Xianglian hangs a rope from the rafters, intending to end it all. The rough neighbor Qin Rushan, whom the whole village calls a jinx and who’s rumored to have been injured down there on the battlefield, breaks the window frame with his bare hands and drags her back from the brink, soaked in rain and wind. His big, rough, burning hands clamp around her slender waist. Fire blazes in his eyes. “If the Zhao family won’t let you live, I will!” … The whole village is waiting to laugh as Li Xianglian is thrown out and disgraced. Instead, the fearsome Qin Rushan shields her behind him. He grabs a machete and chops the thresholds off the homes of everyone who gossips about or bullies her! “I’ve got a bad temper. If anyone lets that filthy mouth of theirs spew another word, I’ll sew it shut!” Later, Li Xianglian gets proof that her scumbag husband has taken another wife and decisively dumps his awful family. She expects to spend the rest of her life alone, but the towering, bear-like man corners her against a wall. His hard muscles press against her, his breath hot as fire. “I’ve had my eye on you for three years.” Xianglian’s legs go weak, and she stammers, “Y-you’re not capable, are you?” Qin Rushan gives a cold laugh, hoists the soft, delicate woman over his shoulder, and grits his teeth. “Who told you I wasn’t capable? Tonight, I’ll show you just how capable I am!” The next day, Xianglian rubs her aching back and nearly cries. Those gossipy women in the village spread the most outrageous lies! This isn’t being incapable. It’s downright deadly!

Are There No Good Military Marriage Novels Anymore?

Please recommend military marriage stories set in a past era, or any historical-era stories. It's fine if either the male or female lead has had previous partners. I can't stand spoiled, clingy heroines or stories with lots of children. Please avoid too many face-slapping scenes against nasty side characters, since they get really awkward when overdone. Something more low-key would be great. Please!

Damn, this is really rough Chinese. It's so cool. It's a new book, so the score is low. I think it will definitely get a high score in the future. I rely on it. The plot is always good and has a unique feel. Looks good. I love watching rough guys!

I like it very much. The content is clear and logical. The female protagonist is not cute or useless. The male protagonist is also super manly. He is my favorite type [please update]

Ahhhhh, the rice fed by the washing powder smells so good [blowing kiss] [admiration], very good-looking, one word: rough, very good-looking rough Chinese text, the male protagonist is doting on his wife and the heroine dares to fight back, I declare that this is the best rough Chinese text I have read in 2026

The logic is clear, the words are rough but not rough, romantic and realist. Although it is an article about rural culture, the content is full of twists and turns and the characters are vividly described, such as: the selfish Aunt Zhao who bullies the weak and fears the strong, the responsible Qin Rushan, the courageous and kind-hearted Li Xiangling (apologize for the wrong spelling of ling) [shy] All in all, it is interesting to read, and it is a very good article [laughs] I am raising the banner for this novel here.

The plot is not boring, and there is no plot of repeated abuse. Unlike other stories where the female protagonist is caught and abused, the female protagonist is not a coward, and the male protagonist is also domineering and protective of his wife! This is the kind of rough Chinese I should read after a tiring day! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It really depicts that era in a realistic way. A group of old ladies were quarreling, which really made me laugh to death [face covering]. She is a strong heroine. I love the doting brother Qin.

This is my first time reading this kind of article. The content is very attractive and not cliché. The author's writing style is very good and the details are particularly well described. I like it. I'm looking forward to the subsequent plot. I'm really looking forward to the plot when the male protagonist and the female protagonist get together.

I just started watching it and it was pretty good, and it didn't drag me out, but it didn't finish. I wanted to ask the author how much more he can finish. If there is more, I will keep reading. If it is almost finished, I will continue reading [laughs] Can someone please tell me, or else it would be too painful to watch half of it and wait.

Anyway, I think it's very interesting, the characters are vividly drawn, and everyone's personality has their own characteristics. I was so excited to watch the ill-fated heroine.

It's super good-looking. After working a twelve-hour night shift, I should be taking a break but I'm thinking about reading.
