The Short-Tempered Twin-Tailed Girl’s 19Th Book

[Period setting + golden finger of luck + devoted couple + height difference + slow-burn romance] Su Xiaoqiao, a gentle beauty from the south, is tricked into marrying into a poor mountain village in the northwest. On their wedding night, her husband runs off with the money, leaving her with a houseful of messes and a reputation as a husband-killer. Her mother-in-law wants to sell her to a fool for cash, while her sister-in-law wants to drive her out. Delicate and frail, Su Xiaoqiao can't lift a finger to help with the work. She thinks she's doomed, but unexpectedly awakens the [Fortune Divination System]. “Ding! Today's auspicious direction: west. You'll meet a benefactor.” Sobbing, she runs west and crashes straight into Qin Lie, the taciturn, fearsome, rough-edged veteran who lives next door. Qin Lie has long been deeply in love with Su Xiaoqiao, but his status kept him from acting as he watched others bully her and saw her left alone in an empty room. Now that she's fallen into his arms, his eyes are so red with emotion they look ready to bleed, and he refuses to let her go. From then on, the villagers wait for Su Xiaoqiao to starve to death, only to see her go out and catch pheasants and wade into the river to fish out big ones. They wait for Qin Lie to beat this “bringer of bad luck” to death, only to find the six-foot-three burly man squatting on the ground, washing Su Xiaoqiao's underclothes and coaxing her, “There, there. Don't cry!”
