   1️⃣ The female lead is stronger than the male lead. The male lead's comrades always advise the male and female leads not to mess with the female lead, fearing he'll get beaten up by her (the male lead is only relatively weaker than the female lead, but still very strong compared to others). The female lead is incredibly strong and has explosive fighting power. The children are cute and adorable, and have inherited her strength. The male lead is powerful outside, but his status and fighting power are the lowest at home. 2️⃣ After the female lead went to the countryside, she built a house separately with the other educated youth who went to the countryside with her. The female lead is fair-skinned, delicate, and petite, looking particularly easy to bully. Who would have thought that she would be such a fiery little woman who would dare to pick up a brick and smash someone's head open at the slightest provocation?
