A Perfect Life in the Eighties

Rough-and-tumble man vs. beautiful young woman Xiao Yi's beauty was famous throughout the surrounding villages. Ever since she turned eighteen, matchmakers had kept coming to her door to propose matches. Her stepmother raised her like a golden egg-laying hen, waiting for the right price before selling her off. Everyone assumed Xiao Yi would marry well, and that her husband would at least be a man with a fortune of ten thousand yuan. But in the end, so her foolish younger brother could get a wife, Xiao Yi was offered up in exchange and married into a family at the foot of the mountain that grew fruit trees. The family's son had just leased two hillsides to grow fruit trees, and money was tight. Everyone thought Xiao Yi would be unwilling and would fight back, but she did nothing of the sort. She packed her things, climbed onto an ox cart, and went to get married. Lin Yongnian had only spent a few nights up on the mountain. When he came back, he heard that his mother had found him a wife and even gotten the marriage certificate ready. His bride had been traded for his sweet, well-behaved younger sister. Lin Yongnian was furious and planned to get his sister back, but his mother cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself, forcing him into the bridal chamber. Lin Yongnian entered the bridal chamber against his will. But when he saw his new bride on the kang, with skin as white as snow and wearing nothing but a red bellyband, beautiful as a fairy, Lin Yongnian was dumbstruck. When the delicate beauty smiled and beckoned to him with a finger, Lin Yongnian felt his bones turn to jelly. But when he thought of his sister, forced to marry a fool, Lin Yongnian steeled his resolve. He would hold fast to his principles, resist the temptation of her beauty, and find a chance to rescue his sister! But how could he resist when such a delicate beauty was in front of him all day long? As she kept appearing before him, the two of them somehow became a real married couple. One night, he held his lovely wife in his arms and kept her busy all night long. The rough man, new to the pleasures of the bedchamber, was like an insatiable beast, with astonishing stamina. Xiao Yi lay limp in the man's arms as he asked in a hoarse voice, "Why were you willing to marry me?" She smiled seductively. "I'm only after your physique." Later, the rough man not only kept her busy every night, but even during the day, in the deserted orchard, he found new ways to keep her busy. No one knew that in her previous life, Xiao Yi had been unwilling and had fought back. She found herself a wealthy husband, but in the end, she was driven to jump into a river. An honest fruit seller rescued her, took her home, and treated her like a goddess. Given another life, Xiao Yi had come to repay that kindness. She would give the only man who had ever loved her a life with a happy ending. Theme: Striving
