In her previous life, Shen Tanshu was Shanghai’s most pampered heiress, but a scumbag deceived her, leaving her disfigured and dead. Reborn on the day she was sent down to the countryside in 1970, she avoids the trap that ruined her last life. Packing plenty of pretty skirts and Snowflake Cream, she heads straight for the wildest, poorest, fiercest-eyed wolf cub in the Great Northwest: He Jin.
In her previous life, He Jin avenged her by taking on the scumbag’s entire family alone, then took a bullet for it.
This time, Shen Tanshu decides to love him properly.
Everyone on the production team says He Jin is a hard-living devil who fights like he has nothing to lose, and that anyone who gets involved with him is asking for trouble. The delicate young woman from Shanghai will be worked to death in his hands before long.
Until one night of torrential rain, someone catches sight of them in the leaky, dilapidated hut at the village entrance. He Jin, tall as an iron tower, is down on one knee, carefully cradling Shen Tanshu’s pale little foot in his rough hand. His gaze burns and his voice is hoarse as he says, “Tanshu, stop tempting me. I’m a rough man. I’ll hurt you, and you’ll cry.”
Shen Tanshu’s eyes redden at the corners. She hooks a slender fingertip into his belt. “He Jin, I’m afraid of pain, but I’m not afraid of you.”
From then on, the living devil becomes a fiercely protective husband. By day, he earns the most work points in the fields; by night, he holds his darling wife close and spoils her without limit.
Setting: The remote Great Northwest in the 1970s, with harsh conditions and a tough, unruly local culture. The desolation of nature mirrors humanity’s primal wildness. Supplies are extremely scarce, but there’s less of the deceit and scheming found in the cities.
