[1970s + runaway bride who becomes a widow + cold-faced, rugged man + intense romantic tension + devoted one-on-one romance]
Zhang Qingqing has become a young widow, newly married and already bereaved. Her cruel mother-in-law is trying to sell her to an old bachelor.
She flees in the middle of the night and crashes into the arms of a rugged man.
Zhou Ting has a scar on his face and a fierce look in his eyes. He shields her behind him. “She’s mine. Whoever touches her dies.”
When her in-laws come to make trouble, he stands in the doorway. “Get lost!”
Rumors say she used her charms to sleep her way to the top. He puts an arm around her waist in front of everyone. “Bullshit! This is Accountant Zhang!”
Someone throws pig’s blood on her. He comes back two days early and pins Zhang Qingqing to the kang, “examining” her all night.
The next day, everyone who had bullied her is on their knees.
Everyone fears this cold-faced King of Hell. Only Zhang Qingqing knows how relentless he can be at night.
