Pregnant and Forcing a Marriage, I’m Spoiled Rotten by a Tyrant in the 1970s

Agronomy PhD Jiang Mingyue opens her eyes to find herself in the 1970s, unmarried and pregnant, a poor little thing condemned by the whole village.

Her mother is frail, her little sister is hungry, so she corners Huo Chen, the “Living Yama” everyone in town avoids: “The child is yours. Are you going to marry me or not?”

Everyone expects him to throw her out. Instead, the fierce man, standing six-foot-two, turns beet red and hauls half a pig over that very day. The next day, he holds the wedding feast.

After their marriage, Jiang Mingyue uses seed selection, composting, and soil improvement to make heavy ears of wheat grow in barren experimental fields.

By day, Huo Chen shields her from gossip. At night, he squats by the stove and cooks eggs for her.

Her awful relatives wait for her to make a fool of herself, but she rises to become a production-team technician and a county agricultural model worker.

Then, at an awards ceremony, Huo Chen suddenly pulls out a letter from the provincial capital. The person named in the letter as the one they want to take away turns out to be him.
