Reborn in the 1980s: After Fleeing Her Wedding, a Tough Man Takes Her Home and Cherishes Her

Historical setting + sweet romance + reborn + a stone-faced, rough-hewn Northeastern man VS a sweet Southern girl with a dark side.

When Shen Yuan’s own father shoves her onto a green train heading north from the south, all she has is an old padded coat left behind by her mother.

He sells her to a lame old widower for three thousand yuan.

No one asks if she’s willing.

In her previous life, she died in a frozen river. Reborn in this life, she runs into a blizzard and stumbles over the threshold of a man’s home.

Pei Zhao.

The coldest, hardest man at the forestry station.

Everyone says he has the face of a King of Hell, that he got his comrades killed, and that he won’t even let his own parents through his door.

But he gets up before dawn to heat the kang on her side.

He kneels down and uses snow to gently rub warmth back into her frozen fingers.

And when everyone tries to take her away, he says coldly,

“She doesn’t have the surname Liu. Touch her again, and I’ll break your arm.”

Shen Yuan thinks this must be what having a home feels like.

She learns to tend the fire, cook meat, and bring warmth and life to a wooden cabin shared by just the two of them.

She thinks the protection of a stranger is far more dependable than the closest blood relatives.

Until she accidentally discovers that the man who gave her all his warmth may have something to do with her uncle’s death…

One dares not trust, the other dares not let go.

Can they still keep the only light in their snowy world burning for each other?
