Widowed and Sold Off to Live Alone, She Finds Protection in a Burly Veteran

[Period setting + sham marriage + rugged man + doting devotion + building wealth + mutual salvation]

To preserve her virtue for the husband who had run away, Su Yuehe spent two years working like an ox and a horse for her husband's family. Instead of his return, she received the news that he had died far from home.

Her mother-in-law considered her bad luck and immediately decided to sell her to a lame old bachelor in the village, using the bride price to find a wife for her younger brother-in-law.

Just as she was losing hope, her husband's elder brother, Gu Changfeng, who had just returned from the battlefield, stood in front of her like a wall. His voice was cold enough to freeze: “If you want to marry her, you'll have to ask whether the gun in my hand agrees. From today on, she's my wife.”
