Xu Zhixia was exchanged by her stepmother on the grounds of being a "kefu", from the son of the factory director to He Chen, a blacksmith who had retired from the army and changed jobs. The whole town was waiting to see the joke - that squeamish guy who was famous for his laziness would have to run back crying sooner or later after marrying into the extremely poor He family.
But she didn't run.
He Chen retired from the army and spent eight years wielding a hammer. He was cold-faced and taciturn, and was ruthless and didn't say much. Marrying a "lazy wife" known throughout the town, he didn't say anything or dislike her. She stayed in bed, and he silently brought her breakfast to the bed; she took two steps and complained that she was tired, and he squatted down to carry it; she complained that her feet were cold in the middle of the night, and the next day there was a fire under the bed that he had set up overnight.
Everyone said that He Chen would regret it sooner or later if he married an ancestor. But only Xu Zhixia knew that when she was pestered by her ex-fiancé, the hammer-wielding man would slap the iron pliers on the door frame: "My wife, can you try to move her?"
She's not really lazy. The flash of swords and shadows in the previous life were gone, but in this life I just want to be spoiled. She nestled on his back and lay on his shoulder, pretending to be confused and showing off her "coquettishness" to the fullest. He Chenming knew she was pretending, but he accepted everything she asked - he would carry her when she said she was tired, he would burn the kang when she said she was afraid of the cold, and when she stretched out her hand towards him, he would catch her first, no matter what she was holding.
The whole town was waiting to see her being returned, but after waiting and waiting, the cold-faced blacksmith hugged her in public, lowered his head and said, "I'm used to her, who has any objections?"
