[Period setting + countryside + divorce and remarriage + rugged man dotes on his wife + sweet young wife + family life + mutually inexperienced]
In the 1980s, the lovely young Sun Xiaoman was forced into marriage with Li Zhiqiu. After their wedding, her husband left to seek his fortune, while she managed everything at home and lived like a widow for six years. She never imagined that he would climb the social ladder and find someone better.
After the divorce, her former mother-in-law came to humiliate her, her ex-husband showed off his new city girlfriend, his cousin coveted her beauty, and the village bachelors tried to assault her. Everyone wanted to take advantage of her.
To survive, she made and sold tofu, earning the first money of her life. She smiled more, and grew prettier too.
The rugged coffin-maker who lived next door was known by everyone as the "bringer of plague," and they all kept their distance from him. Who would have thought that behind his gruff words was a thoughtful heart, and that he would cherish her above all else?
But everyone laughed at her: "A divorced woman paired with the bringer of plague. What a miserable match..."
