You Said You Were an Abstinent Doctor, So Why Are You Knocking on My Door Every Night?

Zhao Qiaozhen, a stunning reporter who has taken the internet by storm, opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into a 1970s novel as a spoiled, troublesome side character. Looking at her delicate hands and the crowd of people heading out to work in the fields, Zhao Qiaozhen draws a sharp breath. There’s no way she’s going to suffer through hard labor! Her beautiful eyes dart around, then settle on Chen Shuyao, a doctor sent down from the capital. With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, he looks like a natural at hard work! So she calls him “Doctor Chen” at every opportunity, pretending to trip, feigning dizziness, and laying on the sweet talk. But Chen Shuyao is naturally aloof and sees right through her little tricks. He scoffs, “Comrade Zhao, your affection is cheap. Don’t waste your time on me.” Zhao Qiaozhen immediately wipes away her tears and gives a cold laugh. “Fine. Then get out of my way and stop blocking me from making money.” She picks up her pen, writes articles, submits them to newspapers, and builds a career. She earns so much in royalties that her hand aches from counting the money, and even educated youths from the neighboring village line up to court her. Just as she’s getting ready to brush off the dust, take the college entrance exam, and return to the city, the aloof, celibate Doctor Chen starts to panic. He pins her against the gate of the compound, eyes bloodshot, and grits out, “You flirt with me and then try to run? Zhao Qiaozhen, we’re getting our marriage license tomorrow!” After they marry, Zhao Qiaozhen spends every day on the verge of tears. What happened to him being cold and celibate? How is this man even more competitive than she is?!
