In a border village in Northeast China in the 1980s, Lin Xiaomei had been married for less than three days when her husband died in an accident at the logging camp. Her in-laws branded her a “husband-killer,” condemning her to life as a young widow. Her mother-in-law tormented her day after day, while her brother-in-law leered at her. Just as she was losing all hope, Song Jianguo, a tough soldier who had recently returned from military service, took one look at her and fell for her. Steady and reserved, he was also decisive and efficient, just like a soldier. Whenever Xiaomei was bullied, he appeared in time, using his broad shoulders to shield her from harm. He taught her to stand on her own, kept her safe, and helped her climb out of the mire until she became the darling he cherished in the palm of his hand.
