A Delicate Educated Youth in the Eighties Clings to a Rough Man to Stay Alive

Shen Jiao, the fake heiress of the main family, was kicked out to the countryside by the real heiress and banished to a remote third-tier steel mill in the 1980s. To make matters worse, she was bound to the “Delicate Girl Life-Saving System.” Unless she stayed close to Han Xiao, a six-foot-two demobilized blacksmith built like a wall of muscle, she would cough up blood and drop dead on the spot. Shen Jiao gritted her teeth, picked up her little suitcase, and moved in next door to his leaky smithy. By day, she was a delicate darling who couldn’t even lift a hoe and whom everyone found annoying. At night, red-eyed, she slapped a wad of cash against Han Xiao’s chest. “Half the bed is mine. Quit talking!” The whole factory waited to see the helpless beauty get tormented by the rough-edged man. Instead, the blacksmith wrapped an arm around her slender waist and spoiled her rotten. With a little encouragement from her clever designs, he quietly became one of the first ten-thousand-yuan households. When the real heiress came swaggering to their door, sorry, but in this muddy little corner, Jiao Jiao was ready to turn the world upside down.
