The 1980s: I Tried to Run, but My Rugged Husband Spoiled Me Rotten

[1980s setting + getting rich + rugged hero + face-slapping]

“Why are you running?”

The man corners her against the stove, his rough hand gripping her waist. He bends close to her ear, his voice as hoarse as if it’s full of grit. “You’re married to me. Where do you think you’re going to hide?”

Su Tang: “...”

She’d only transmigrated into an 1980s farming novel, becoming the villainess with a husband-killing fate, despised by the whole village.

In the original story, the villainess meets a miserable end: her engagement is called off, she’s kicked out of her home, and she freezes to death in the bitter winter.

The dark-faced, rugged man before her is the original male lead’s cousin, a discharged soldier, and the poorest, fiercest man in the village. No one dares marry the “jinx.”

Su Tang only wants to stay alive, save money, and make a run for it.

Who knew this rough man would act fierce to her face but slip her eggs behind her back, shut up the village gossips, and wrap his own military coat around her in the snow...

Even worse

In the middle of the night, he rolls over and pulls her into his arms, his voice low and hoarse. “Don’t move. You’re cold.”

Su Tang goes stiff as a board.

Who said this man wasn’t interested in women?!

Who said he was cruel and heartless?!

It was all lies!
