[Reborn + period setting + devoted rugged husband + Marriage Before Love + face-slapping the awful ones]
In her previous life, Su Xiuxiu spent her whole life as a “wife in name only.” On their wedding night, her husband ran off with all their money. Her mother-in-law forced her to earn money and support the family, and eventually she died of exhaustion in a cowshed.
Only before she died did she learn that Zhou Tiejun, the rugged bachelor next door whom the whole village mocked as “useless,” had quietly protected her all his life. He had even sold his ancestral home to pay for her treatment.
Reborn on her wedding night, she watched her scumbag husband run off while her mother-in-law prepared to work her like a pack mule.
Su Xiuxiu glanced at the broken wall next door, her gaze smoldering. “This time, I’m done being a wife in name only!”
She slipped into the melon shed next door and cornered the brooding rugged man. “Brother Zhou, I heard you need a wife. What do you think of me?”
Zhou Tiejun’s eyes reddened as he gripped her waist. “Xiuxiu, once you’ve got a man like me hooked, you’re never getting away!”
From then on, the scumbag regretted everything, her awful in-laws got what they deserved, and the rugged man spoiled Xiuxiu to no end!
