Red Post in Hard Days

In 1968, in Qiongshan Col, the stupid and introverted Shan Ying was scolded by the whole village for being unmarried at the age of eighteen. Her parents were gossiped about so much that for the sake of gift and face, they cruelly forced her to marry a bad old man from a neighboring village who was nearly fifty years old and had a hunchback and buck teeth, Old Man Zhang! She resisted desperately, but what she got in return was endless beatings, scolding and imprisonment. When the wedding invitation three fingers wide was delivered to the door, Shan Ying thought that her life was destined to be ruined by this ridiculous marriage. Unexpectedly, not long after their wedding, old man Zhang died unexpectedly. In despair, Shanying met Chen Jianjun, who treated her sincerely. He took her to escape into a thatched house in the mountains, sheltered her from wind and rain, and treated her tenderly. Yamaying fell into it and became pregnant with his flesh and blood, thinking that she had finally waited for redemption. But happiness was short-lived. Chen's mother lied about being seriously ill, deceived him back home, and forcibly arranged for him to marry Li Guilan. After marriage, Chen Jianjun clearly touched Li Guilan's body, but he lied to Shan Ying and swore that he had never betrayed her in the slightest. The moment the truth was revealed, Shanying was heartbroken. Being scolded as a broken shoe, being deceived by a lover, being scorned by the world... With her body covered with bruises, can she ever meet a lover who truly protects her in this life?
