Three Years of Sleeping Alone? After Breaking Off the Engagement, the Rugged Man Dotes on Me

Period setting + black-market tycoon + sweet and delicate heroine + family life + countryside + second male lead’s desperate pursuit

When Lin Chuxia and the Shen family discussed their engagement again, her fiancé left for the provincial capital with a cold face and never returned.

Her sister-in-law at her parents’ home looked down on her and refused to let her come back.

Her sister-in-law on her husband’s side called her a jinx.

Her wicked mother-in-law insisted she slave away for the whole family and “live as a widow,” even going so far as to bring an old bachelor from their village to her for fifty yuan in bride price.

On a stormy night, desperate to escape, Lin Chuxia blundered into the thatched hut of He Qing, the village bully.

Looking at the fearsome man with his hard features, Lin Chuxia sobbed plaintively.

“Save me... please.”

The next morning, to protect her reputation, Lin Chuxia had no choice but to return to her in-laws’ home and keep pretending to be obedient as she lived like a widow.

But the wild man feared by the whole village climbed over the wall into her room every night.

He brought her the finest grains, brown sugar, and canned tangerines, then held her soft waist and murmured in a husky, red-eyed voice,

“Be mine, and I’ll give you my life.”
