The Delicate Bride: The Black Market Tough Guy Turns Into a Wolf at Night

Pampered wife + hidden kingpin + sweet, protective romance + slow and steady love + both leads are each other's first and only + beautiful, fair-skinned heiress of a capitalist family

In the twelfth lunar month of 1975, Shang Zhitao takes her cousin's place and marries the most fearsome man in Li Jia Village.

His name is Qiu Linshen, and people call him the Living Yama.

He's six-foot-three, built like a tank, and so poor he can barely scrape by. He also has a grandmother who is nearly blind.

The villagers laugh at her: a pampered young lady from a capitalist family, married to the Living Yama. Her life is over.

Shang Zhitao is afraid of him too: afraid of his temper, his coldness, and the frightening scars covering his body.

But later, she discovers something.

When she cries, he hands her a handkerchief. When she's cold, he repairs the wall.

When someone bullies her, he stands in front of her.

He doesn't say a thing, but he does everything.

Later still, she learns that this man who is so poor he can barely scrape by is the hidden kingpin of Pingyang County's underworld, and the only son of the Qiu family who was lost outside the home.

She is the one exception in his life.

She thought she had married into a living hell. Later, everyone says, "Shang Zhitao, you are the luckiest woman alive."
