[Period Setting + Reborn + Love After Marriage + Height Difference + Devoted Rugged Man + Building Wealth and Turning Her Life Around]
★ Sweet and stunning arts troupe beauty × taciturn, stern, rugged veteran village secretary
Su Wanqing died full of resentment in the depths of winter. When she opened her eyes, she had been reborn at the turning point of her fate.
In her previous life, she had been blinded by love and gave her heart to a scumbag. Her best friend betrayed her, her relatives drained her dry, and she met a miserable end. This time, she wanted nothing to do with bad romances. She would focus on making money, passing her exams, and changing her fate against all odds.
But her family planned to force her into a bride swap, marrying her off to a bachelor in his forties and using her bride price to find a wife for her cousin.
Her stepmother secretly gloated: Just wait until you’re married off and withered into an old hag!
Su Wanqing was furious and frightened. All she wanted was to escape this family that devoured its own.
Then Lu Tingxiao, the sternest veteran village secretary in Hongxing Brigade, suddenly showed up to ask for her hand in marriage.
No one knew that he had fallen for her at first sight when they met in the snow and wind, and had silently shielded her from every storm, sweeping away all the rumors trying to force her into marriage.
Only after marrying him did she realize she had struck gold.
To everyone else, Lu Tingxiao was an icy, formidable man whose word was law. At home, he doted on her with all his heart.
There was meat on the table at every meal, he never let her lift a finger for heavy work, and he put her dreadful relatives in their place until they were too afraid to visit. He had even quietly paved the way for her to study and make money.
Su Wanqing was both bashful and delighted, but she was still a little confused by the heat in his eyes.
Why had he once seemed so cold and taciturn, when now all he could see was her?
One morning, Su Wanqing could take no more of his persistent cuddling. She pushed against his chest and chided him softly, “Lu Tingxiao, can’t you show a little restraint?”
His voice was hoarse as he pulled her even closer. “Wanqing, I’ve waited a long, long time for this day.”
