    Traditional, not a roughneck. Although mentioned, he's not really one. The design is novel and interesting. It's a transmigration story set in a historical period. The original owner was rescued from danger in the wilderness by a powerful high-ranking official, who suffered amnesia after hitting his head against a wall. The original owner foolishly lied to the official, claiming to be her son-in-law, and brainwashed him in various ways. The male lead, tirelessly serving her every need, became a burly, unassuming man. The original owner spent her days scheming to manipulate the male lead, hoping to avoid future retribution and even gain status through her child. The female lead transmigrates into this world, finding herself in a dangerous situation, and is utterly bewildered by the circumstances…
