(An everyday fictional historical romance, set in a small Jiangnan town among ordinary commoners. Devoted couple, locals building a better life through hard work, slow-burn romance, no transmigration or rebirth. A sweet romance about a young wife having a child to keep her home together.)
A famine refugee desperate to protect her family's property latches onto a cold-faced hunter from the neighboring county. "I want a child. Can you help me?"
Her name is An Ge. She married into the Chen family to bring good fortune, but her frail husband treats her like a younger sister, and her mother-in-law loves her like her own daughter.
But her husband is near death, and the village wolves have started prowling around her home.
She has no way out. There is only one thing she can do: have a baby as soon as possible and keep this family together.
She sets her sights on Qin Ye, a hunter who lives alone in the mountains.
He brings misfortune to his relatives and was struck from the clan register. He lives by himself in the deep mountains, with muscles like a tree trunk and a sturdy, healthy body. He's the perfect candidate.
For the sake of a happy life ahead, she takes the initiative. She drugs him, tempts him, and calls out in a soft voice, "Brother Qin, my foot hurts. Could you put some medicine on it for me?" But this wooden man is so startled that he flees out the door and douses himself with cold water.
He runs, she chases.
"I can wash clothes, cook, farm, raise chickens, and support myself. You hunt, I'll raise the baby, and we'll make a life together!"
Her passionate pursuit has already won his heart, but his tragic past holds him back. Then one day, she splits a square table in two with a single palm strike, and the wall in his heart comes crashing down.
Life in the mountains is rough. He brings her honey water and clumsily applies medicine to her wounds. At night, he holds her close and says in a hoarse voice, "They're going to conscript men. I might not come back alive... Will you still have a baby with me?"
It looks good, the characters, story and environment are all well-organized and organized. The description of the male and female protagonists is very good. I look forward to further plot developments, moving small benches and other updates.
