The Sweet, Soft-Eyed Educated Youth of the ’70s Is Doted on Every Day by a Rugged, Fierce Man

In her previous life, Su Yao was a pampered girl everyone despised. Her stepmother spoiled her rotten, and she ended up dying miserably on the street.

Reborn in 1983, she’s still the same delicate “porcelain doll,” unable to lift a thing or do a day’s work. Just as she’s about to be sold to a fool in exchange for a bride price, Su Yao grits her teeth and slips into the bed of Qin Lie, the rough man next door, said to be the fiercest in the village and fresh out of the lockup.

Everyone waits for the spectacle. “With Qin Lie built like that, won’t he break this delicate young educated youth in half?”

But after they marry, everything takes an unexpected turn.

The fearsome man who can scare children quiet is suddenly cooking for her, and even has to massage her waist every night.

“Brother Qin, my waist hurts.” Su Yao’s eyes turn red at the corners, her voice soft and sweet.

Qin Lie’s Adam’s apple bobs. His gaze darkens as he grips her slender waist and says hoarsely, “Be good, bear with it. I’d give you my life.”

The whole village is stunned. Wasn’t he supposed to mistreat her? How did he end up spoiling her rotten? And how did their life get better and better until they became millionaires?
