[Period setting + rural life + rugged man + sweet romance + contrast couple + no golden finger and no transmigration]
Li Pan'er was sent to live with her aunt and uncle as soon as she was born. After her cousin arrived, she suffered one hardship after another.
Now she has turned twenty.
First, her fiancé broke off their engagement. Then her aunt, for 300 yuan in betrothal gifts, tried to force her to marry Wang Mazi, a man in his forties who had beaten his wife to death.
Luckily, Qin Yan, her cousin's fiancé, rescues her and says he wants to date her.
Rumors spread through the village that Li Pan'er seduced her cousin's fiancé, which was why her engagement was called off.
Ignoring the gossip, Qin Yan immediately insists that he and Li Pan'er register their marriage.
Her cousin Li Jinfeng is furious and spreads the news that Qin Yan is impotent.
The villagers don't believe the couple will last, either. They all wait to see Li Pan'er make a fool of herself.
Li Pan'er thinks Qin Yan is a good man and that he's only pretending to be her fiancé to buy time and save her.
She doesn't mind if he can't perform. She just wants to stay alive.
But after they marry, Qin Yan spoils her like a treasure.
They break three bed frames in a year.
The next year, she gives birth to triplets, so happy that everyone else is green with envy.
