[Sweet-natured educated youth + rugged one-eyed man + size difference + doting romance]
On a stormy night, Wen Ruan strays into a forbidden area in the back hills. The feverish forest ranger Qin Lie, known as the “Demon,” mistakes her for his cure. After one reckless night, she flees in a panic, her body covered in red marks.
Her scheming twin sister impersonates her to claim the credit and tries to marry into a wealthy family, never realizing that the one-eyed man has already memorized Wen Ruan’s uniquely sweet, milky scent!
“Run? You’re marked by me. Where do you think you’re going?”
In a corner of the warehouse, Qin Lie blocks her beside a haystack. His rough hand brushes her trembling red lips, and his gaze is as fierce and obsessive as a wolf’s.
Everyone in the village waits for Wen Ruan to become a laughingstock, figuring that after marrying a fierce, one-eyed man, she’ll surely be tormented to death.
But then
While other wives scrape by on coarse grain, Wen Ruan eats braised pork at every meal.
While other educated youths work until their backs nearly break, Qin Lie treats Wen Ruan like a treasure and won’t even let her carry the water for his footbath!
Just as her sister grows crazed with jealousy and joins forces with outsiders to ruin Wen Ruan, a Hongqi sedan drives into the poor mountain village.
Only then do the villagers realize that the rugged one-eyed man isn’t a forest ranger at all. He’s actually…
