The 1980s: A Widow Cursed to Outlive Her Husband? The Rough-Handed Man Treats Me Like a Queen

Just after Lin Wanqing became a widow, her awful in-laws planned to marry her off to a widower in exchange for a bride price.

With nowhere else to turn, He Tingzhou, the rough-hewn man everyone in the village feared, kicked down the door and pinned her in a corner. “Marry me. I've got a hard life, so go ahead and bring me bad luck.”

The whole village waited for the delicate Lin Wanqing to be tormented by the rough brute.

But what happened?

By day, he worked hard to support the family, fierce as a demon.

By night, behind closed doors, he would pin her down and plead, “Wifey, show this old man some more affection...”

So much for a pretend marriage! How could this rough man be two completely different people by day and by night?

A sweet romance about a delicate young widow and a pure-hearted roughneck making their fortune in the 1980s.
