The 1980s: On New Year’s Eve, a Fierce, Rugged Man Carried Me Home

[Reborn in a bygone era] [Rugged husband who dotes on his wife] [Marriage Before Love] [Spirit spring and gourmet food] [Both leads are devoted to each other in body and heart]

Overworked office worker Su Ruanruan transmigrates into the body of a young widow whose cruel mother-in-law has sold her off. Fleeing in despair on a snowy night, she crashes straight into the arms of “the Living Yama,” Xiao Zhan.

The whole village says Xiao Zhan is a fearsome brute, his family is so poor they can barely scrape by, and his four younger brothers are a burden. If Su Ruanruan marries into that family, she is sure to suffer terribly.

But who could have guessed...

On their wedding night, he warms her feet all night with his rough hands.

When there’s no food, he hunts wild boars in the mountains and catches fish and shrimp in the river, making sure she grows plump and rosy-cheeked.

When someone bullies her, he stands at the village entrance with a butcher’s knife: “Anyone who lays a finger on my wife is dead meat!”

Later, Su Ruanruan uses the spirit spring to make gourmet food, and leads the five Xiao brothers from rural market stalls all the way to the imperial kitchens in the capital.

When the people who once mocked her see Su Ruanruan with a baby on the way, they are stunned. This is no life of hardship: she is being spoiled rotten!
