[Transmigrate + female physician + farming + all-rounder + deranged + possessive + playing dumb to fool the enemy]
Shen Miaomiao transmigrated. She was an orphan with a homely face, a poor household, and a village full of people who bullied her.
All she wanted was to farm, make money, and lie flat in peace. She went up the mountain to gather herbs and came back with a handsome young man on the brink of death, planning to keep him as a hired hand.
The boy presented her with a deed of servitude, and the whole village assumed she had taken in a child bridegroom.
Shen Miaomiao was quite pleased: now she had a laborer, and the gossip would stop. A great deal!
Only later did she realize: this was no docile puppy. He was a mad wolf in sheep’s clothing.
She taught him to read, and he learned to write “Shen.” She taught him how to behave, and he took to heart, “If no one messes with me, I won’t mess with them.” Then he went and messed with her every chance he got.
He called her Big Sis, but looked at her like he wanted to devour her. She thought she was raising a little brother; he was waiting for her to agree to make him her husband.
Shen Miaomiao: I think of you as my little brother, and you want to be my man?
Xiao Heng lowered his eyes, his voice soft and gentle. “Big Sis, the deed says ‘child bridegroom,’ not ‘little brother.’”
Shen Miaomiao decided to run. She had earned enough money, built the wall, and cured his poison. It was time to travel and enjoy the scenery.
Xiao Heng stopped smiling. Obsession, unlike anything she had ever seen, roiled in his eyes, but his voice remained gentle. “Big Sis, thinking of running away?”
Did you ask me first?
