Shen Manning has been married into the Wang family for a year, living like a widow and enduring endless beatings, curses, and torment.
To ensure an heir, her mother-in-law makes the vicious hunter Gu Zhanfeng drink a potion, hoping to use him to get her pregnant and drain her blood.
At the critical moment, Shen Manning slaps Gu Zhanfeng awake, and with that slap, sets her own salvation in motion.
“From now on, I’ll protect you.”
The rugged hunter means what he says. He drives off lecherous men, buys her white-flour buns and new clothes, and fiercely stands up for her, leaving her tormentors speechless.
“My woman. How dare you lay a hand on her?”
He pampers Shen Manning like a princess, coldly puts her wicked mother-in-law in her place, and uses his fists to teach her useless husband a lesson. Everyone who plotted against her regrets it.
The Wang family schemes and schemes, then ends up regretting everything. They only want to get this terrifying man out of their lives, but the rugged hunter goes and marries Shen Manning himself, treats her like a queen, and leaves them with nothing but losses!
At first, Shen Manning is frightened and uneasy. Soon, though, she comes to rely on the strapping hunter who cooks for her, and her ears turn red. “Brother Gu, you’re too good to me.”
Gu Zhanfeng pulls her into his arms, his rough voice turning gentle. “Silly girl, you’re the only one I’ll ever spoil.”
Before long, everyone in the village knows that Shen Manning is Gu Zhanfeng’s darling, and anyone who crosses her is in for trouble!
