The Rough-Hewn Man and the Ailing Beauty [The 1980S]

When Ji Linglan wakes up again, she finds herself back at nineteen, just before the provincial city Ran family takes her back to use as a marriage pawn and a reserve blood bank. Ji Linglan steels herself and insists on marrying Fu Shen, the notorious local hoodlum. Even in the provincial city, she'd heard plenty about this man: he's fierce and has a knack for making money! But he has never married, and he never gives the women who throw themselves at him the time of day. She guesses he must be impotent! A marriage in name only is exactly what she needs right now. She has to escape the overbearing, unscrupulous Ji family! Fu Shen looks at Ji Linglan, who acts like she won't marry anyone but him but is actually clueless about romance. He hides his slightly trembling hands, his gaze darkening, and coldly nods as though he couldn't care less. The Ran family and everyone around them wait to laugh at Ji Linglan. Who would give up rich parents to marry a hoodlum? Just wait until he beats her! But what they hear instead is: They say Ji Linglan's family has their eye on a big-screen TV. They say Ji Linglan bought a new house. Heh, Fu Shen must be the one with the means. Just wait until he gets a good look at all the other women out there. Ji Linglan will be dumped in no time! Fu Shen: It took everything I had to marry her. I'll never let her go in this life. The female lead has a career of her own. Timid, sweet female lead * Rough, powerful male lead Theme: Hard work brings rewards
