On a stormy night in Baizhu Village, Lin Wanqing found a strange man in the hills behind the village.
He was covered in blood and fierce as a wolf, but still easier on the eyes than the old bachelor trying to force her into marriage.
She thought, “Once he’s healed, I’ll get him to leave. This rough-looking guy is clearly trouble.”
But the very next day, the man sent people to her door with an astronomical bride price of a hundred yuan, then refused to leave the village!
From then on, everything changed.
A scheming white lotus showed up in tears to frame her? He picked her up and tossed her out of the courtyard.
A tea-sipping green-tea girl came over with soup, all sweetness and coyness? He poured it into the dog’s bowl. “It needs the nutrition more than you do.”
The villagers whispered, “That girl’s done for. She’s crossed a living King of Hell.”
Lin Wanqing watched the man who sat outside her home every day, claiming to be “repaying his debt,” and pressed a hand to her aching forehead. “Hey, do you really have to repay me?”
Then one day, enemy troops infiltrated the military exercise zone. Lin Wanqing took down several men with a handful of silver needles, shocking the entire military district.
The rough man cornered her against a wall, his gaze dark and intense. “You saved my life. I’ve thought it over, and I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life repaying you.”
