Reborn in the 1950s: The Fierce Farmer Girl Has the Village’s Rugged Men Eating Out of Her Hand

[Period setting + marriage first, love later + farming and making a fortune + ensemble cast + unhinged heroine + taciturn, rough-edged man + absolutely no self-sacrificing saint]

In her previous life, Zhao Maisui was a pushover. Her parasitic older brother and sister-in-law sold her to an abusive old bachelor in the neighboring village in exchange for a bride price. He beat her to death in a cowshed.

When she opens her eyes again, she is eighteen years old, on the very day she is about to be sold!

Zhao Maisui has had enough. She goes berserk on the spot, smashes the iron pot, flips the table, and chases her vicious brother and sister-in-law down three streets with a cleaver before splitting off to live on her own!

To escape her awful relatives’ schemes for good, she turns her attention to Chen Zheng, the tallest, handsomest, toughest man in the village, a taciturn, reserved roughneck.

“Chen Dazhuang, let’s team up and make a life together. I’ll handle the outside, you handle the home. What do you say?”

Chen Zheng, the object of every girl in the village’s secret crush, turns red around the ears and nods in a low voice. “I’m in.”

After the wedding, everyone in the village waits to see how this “tigress” will turn their life into chaos.

But instead...

With her natural strength and sharp mind, Zhao Maisui earns the most work points, gathers mountain delicacies to sell, and leads everyone in the village, young and old, out of poverty. She becomes a famous female powerhouse, a “village tyrant” known for miles around.

Meanwhile, the cold-faced roughneck Chen Zheng, who used to be unbeatable in the whole village, becomes known as a devoted wife guy.

By day, he silently follows his wife around, doing the heavy work and protecting her. Anyone who dares cross Zhao Maisui gets his fists as an answer.

At night, he brings her a basin of warm water to wash her feet and prepares the heated bed. His deep eyes fix on her. “Wife, can we sleep together on the heated kang tonight?”

Zhao Maisui says, “We’ll see how you behave.”
