The 1980s: My Rough-Hewn Husband Won't Let Go Night After Night

[Feel-good period drama + marriage swap and comeback + sign-in System + rugged husband who dotes on his wife + double secret identities + instant face-slapping]

Su Wan is switched at birth by her stepmother and sent in her younger sister’s place to marry into the family in Dahei Mountain. Her groom is Lu Zhanshan, the so-called “Jinx,” rumored to have killed a man and to have a bad leg.

The whole village is waiting to see her carried out three days later.

On their wedding night, she nervously lifts her red veil, only to find the man whittling a piece of wood with a knife. He looks up and says, “You take the kang. I’ll sleep on the floor.”

From then on, Su Wan is bound to a sign-in System.

She signs in in the bridal chamber and gets five catties of white sugar and two catties of meat; she signs in at the production team’s warehouse and gets premium rice seeds; she signs in at an abandoned grain depot and gets a noodle-pressing machine outright.

When her stepmother comes to seize her dowry, Su Wan slams three hundred yuan onto the table. “This is the betrothal gift from the man your daughter didn’t want. Are you going to get on your knees and beg me for it now?”

The villagers laugh that she has married a cripple and will go hungry. She turns around and opens the village’s first tofu shop and first tailor shop. The first person she hires is the auntie who once cursed her the harshest.

Then one day, three military jeeps block the gate of the courtyard of the man who heats her kang at night and hunts wild boars in the mountains by day.

Clutching her household registration booklet, Su Wan stands at the gate. “Lu Zhanshan, who are you really?”

He pulls her into his arms, his voice muffled. “I’m your husband. I’ll tell you the rest inside.”
