Five years ago, a man sent down to the village arrived: Pei Yanchi.

The other villagers thought he was a bad element and wanted nothing to do with him.

Only Su Qingyuan wasn’t afraid. When she saw him nearly starving to death, she brought him food. Before long, she fell for the handsome man.

But her mother wanted to marry her off for the bride price to a fool from the neighboring village, a grown man who wouldn’t even run home when it rained.

She refused. Instead, she set her sights on Pei Yanchi, drugged him with a bowl of liquor, knocked him out, and forced herself on him.

Then, in a dream, she learned that the world she lived in was a period novel, and that both she and her son would die young.

When she woke up, she panicked and ran.

Later, the two met again.

He was still the cool, distinguished genius engineer Pei Yanchi, while she was Master Chef Su Qingyuan, sent over from the main factory to work in the canteen.

And there were four adorable little ones.

Pei Yanchi never expected to see the woman who had slept with him and run off two years earlier again, let alone discover that she had given him four children.

Determined to make their relationship official, he went to great lengths and finally won over all four children and their mother.

But when everyone saw how much the four little ones looked like him, they realized they’d been fooled...
