After My Engagement Was Broken, I Married My Former Fiancé’s Younger Uncle

(Pure historical romance + everyday family life + a slow, steady love story)

After Shen Suhua’s engagement to the Zheng family’s eldest son was called off, she married his younger brother instead, becoming the wife of Zheng Huaijin, the village’s most troublesome man.

Once the news spread, everyone in the village gossiped behind her back, eager to watch her suffer in her new marriage and laugh as the young couple made a mess of their lives.

No one expected this much-maligned couple to get along remarkably well, or to become famous around the village for constantly praising each other.

Wherever he went, Zheng Huaijin talked about his wife, grinning proudly. “My Suhua is clever and handy. She’s good at running a household and working the fields. Marrying her is the greatest blessing of my life.”

Shen Suhua was always gentle and warm, praising him softly to others. “Huaijin is hardworking and capable, dependable and responsible. He’s the one who holds everything together, at home and out in the world.”

The neighbors were left stunned and incredulous. “Is this really the same Zheng Erlang who used to loaf around all day? And the same Shen Suhua, who was always so reserved?”

Before long, everyone within ten miles was envious. “Those two from the Zheng family really are the most respectable model couple in the countryside!”
