Becoming a Tofu Maker

In her previous life, Li Xiaoman was killed when a lovey-dovey young couple ran her over. After dying, she inexplicably transmigrated, and before she could figure out what was going on, she somehow ended up heading north with a group of refugees.

The journey was full of hardship, and she witnessed every kind of tragedy. All she could do was force herself onward, driven by the resolve to cherish the life she had been given a second time.

When they finally arrived, she thought she could settle down and live in peace. But her heartless father and stepmother promptly sold her off, and for a mere three and a half taels of silver.

After she was sold, the wealthy households kept sending her back because she seemed "unruly." She nearly became a loss for the matchmaker, who was fed up with her and threatened her with two choices:

Go with a man,

or be sold off to a den of vice.

Faced with this reality, Li Xiaoman could hardly fight back.

Though unwilling, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her tears as she chose the first option: go with a man and become the daughter-in-law of a tofu maker. From then on, she would be a tofu maker's wife.

Fortunately, the tofu-making family didn't seem like bad people, and Li Xiaoman gradually began to want to make a good life for herself.

Now that she had resolved to live well, she put all her strength and skill into turning the loyal Dou family into makers of delicious tofu, tofu pudding, tofu skin, dried tofu, fermented tofu, spicy sticks, stinky tofu...

And that dark-faced man wouldn't get away from her either!

At first, Dou Suian was furious that his mother had arranged his marriage without asking him.

Faced with the woman who had already become his wife before he could object, he met her with a scowl and ignored all her attempts to flirt with him.

But his wife was far too domineering. She was always coming right up to him, grabbing his chin and trying to cajole or threaten him, until he had no choice but to give in again and again.

Later, all he wanted was to treat his wife a little better, and then better still.
