[Forced bride swap + fleeing famine for the city + taking in a wife and striking it rich + love grows over time + living together]
In the poor mountain villages of the 1980s, Xu Guilan was unloved by both her father and mother. To get a bride price for her younger brother, her biological parents arranged a bride swap, marrying her off to the village chief's lame son.
After eighteen years of obedience, Xu Guilan couldn't take it anymore. She finally rebelled!
With an address from a man she didn't know, she fled the mountains and endured a grueling journey to the provincial capital.
Who could have guessed that Zhou Jingshan, a man with a good reputation, would turn out to be a rough, uncouth fellow! Xu Guilan could only grit her teeth and adapt to their chaotic life together.
Zhou Jingshan had spent half his life living wild and never imagined he'd end up taking home a beautiful wife. Now that all sorts of troublemakers were coming after them, who could throw a better tantrum than him? One comes, he beats them. Two come, he beats both!
