[Feel-good period drama + countryside life + family affairs + intense push and pull]
Song Xi put up with it for three years.
She looked after her parents-in-law, worked in the fields, fed the pigs and chickens, and handled every chore inside and out.
But her husband, Liu Jiye, got a widow pregnant behind her back, then brought the woman home and strutted around in front of Song Xi.
“Jiye says you can’t even lay an egg. You’d better get out and make room for my son.”
Song Xi sneered. “Your son got a widow pregnant. That’s hooliganism, and he’ll get at least five years for it.”
“Song Xi, I want a divorce!”
“Fine, but first we’re settling every last account from these three years.
The house, the livestock, the fields: I want every bit of it.
Got a problem with that? Then I’ll see you in court.”
Song Xi thought she had finally escaped.
But then Li Yunshen, the village bully feared by everyone, suddenly entered her life.
He helped her haul livestock, brought her eggs, and reached out when she was at her lowest.
Everyone said Li Yunshen was a ruthless man you didn’t want to cross.
But to Song Xi, he was gentle.
