Blue Squid’s First Book

[Period setting + rugged man + cherished heroine + intense push and pull + simmering chemistry + feel-good slice of life]

Qin Yueyue, a pampered young intellectual sent down from the capital, has fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs. Unfortunately, she is delicate and soft, and cries at the drop of a hat.

On her very first day in the countryside, she crosses Lu Mingchuan, the village’s most fearsome man, nicknamed the “Living King of Hell.”

Lu Mingchuan has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a body packed with muscle. He is taciturn and notorious for his ferocity. Even the village dogs steer clear of him.

Everyone thinks this delicate flower, Qin Yueyue, will be scared to death.

But who could have guessed…

On a stormy night, someone sees the arrogant, rugged man kneeling in the mud to wipe dirt from Qin Yueyue’s shoes.

Behind a haystack, someone hears Lu Mingchuan coaxing her in a husky voice: “Yueyue, don’t bite. It hurts…”

Qin Yueyue gazes at the man before her, his eyes red and his whole body burning with desire, and blinks innocently.

What Living King of Hell? He’s clearly just a well-behaved big dog!

At first, Lu Mingchuan says, “Stay away from me. I’m not catering to some delicate little crybaby.”

Later, Lu Mingchuan says, “Yueyue, I’d give you my life. Call me a good big brother one more time.”

Content warning: No System, no portable space, just an authentic slice of life from the era. It’s all about a rugged man doting on his wife, with intense chemistry and tension turned up to the max!
