The 1970s: Every Night, That Rough-He and His Puppy Wake Me with Kisses

Gu Mingzhu transmigrates.

She becomes a stunning factory beauty in the 1970s, cornered at the factory gate by the factory director's spoiled son, who declares he'll marry her in three days.

The original owner was tormented to death after marrying him.

The System shrieks in her mind: Host! Go to Hongqi Brigade! Find Lu Zheng! He can keep you alive!

Gu Mingzhu packs up and heads to the countryside that very night.

When she arrives, she discovers that Lu Zheng is the poorest and fiercest landlord's brat in the whole village. He's all muscle and covered in old scars. Aside from his face, even his waist looks pretty useful.

The System excitedly announces: Affection: 100/100! He's willing to die for you!

Gu Mingzhu looks at the man in front of her, so poor he can't even afford shoes, and falls into deep thought.

You call this keeping me alive?

Only later does she learn that Lu Zheng really can keep her alive.

In the early 1980s, he heads south to Shenzhen and carves out a place for himself in the construction industry. Ten years later, he's the youngest tycoon in Shenzhen's real estate world, worth over a hundred million.

The landlord's boy who once couldn't afford shoes now wears a custom black suit, broad-shouldered and slim-waisted, with an imposing presence.

Gu Mingzhu thinks he's finally gained some confidence.

Until she casually remarks, "There are so many excellent men in the city," and his expression changes on the spot.

That night, wearing his expensive suit, he kneels before her without a word. He looks up at her, eyes reddening, Adam's apple bobbing.

"Mingzhu, am I kneeling wrong?"

"Don't reject me."

"Whatever pose you want, I'll do it."

"Please, have mercy on me."
