[A fierce young widow who's been alone for three years VS a wild, untamed hunter]

Tao Qiyu is famous across the surrounding villages as a shrew.

She wasn't born that way. Life made her like this: her husband died in battle, and she has been a widow for three years.

The villagers gossip about her, the men covet her, and she has to raise her daughter alone. She has had to make life as hard as a knife just to get by.

Then she discovers that her supposedly dead husband had been keeping a mistress and had a son, and now they've come to her door!

Her mother-in-law favors boys and treats Tao Qiyu and her daughter even worse now that she has a grandson. She makes Tao Qiyu do all the work and won't let her remarry!

But she won't listen. She'll marry that village bully, the rugged hunter!

Only, why is this notorious bully so different from the rumors?

He not only helps her beat up men, plow fields, and harvest crops, he also buys her a cow, brings her meat, and finds all sorts of ways to help her make money. Their lives gradually flourish, and even her three-year-old daughter starts calling him Dad...

But on the very day she gets married, her husband, who was supposed to have died in battle, comes back!
