[Reborn in the 1970s + Rough-hewn butcher + Marriage first, love later + Cold by day, clingy by night + An extreme contrast]
Lin Wan was reborn.
In her past life, her stepmother sold her to an old widower, and she died in a woodshed. This time, she escaped by climbing over a wall and crashed straight into the arms of the most untouchable man on the whole farm.
Lu Zheng was a butcher who had once broken a thug's leg. Everyone gave him a wide berth. The whole farm was waiting to laugh at her. “She married a butcher. She's in for a rough time.”
Nobody knew that after the lights went out on their wedding night, he would place a hand behind her head and whisper, “If it hurts, tell me.”
Nobody knew that the man who never even looked at her during the day would hold her at night and say, “Now I have you.”
Outside, he was the God of Death. He wouldn't look at her, touch her, or speak to her. When someone picked on her, he said nothing, but the Guihua family never sold a single pound of meat again.
At night, when he came home and the lights went out, he held on to her and buried his face in the hollow of her neck, calling her “Wanwan.”
She asked, “You don't look at me during the day?”
He said, “I do. When no one's paying attention.”
Every morning, there was a note beside her pillow. His handwriting was awful: “Sleep a little longer,” “Wait for me to come home,” “I'm watching you today, too.”
She didn't know when she had started looking forward to nightfall.
In short: reborn in the 1970s, she marries the most untouchable man on the farm. By day, he pretends they barely know each other. At night, he calls her “Wanwan.” Find out for yourself what happens after the lights go out.
