When her friend came of age, Qu Youning hired a tall, strapping servant to help her take care of the arrangements.
The servant was all hard muscle. He had neither a handsome enough face nor a silver tongue. All day long, he silently followed her around, dutifully doing menial work. His eyes were so gloomy that he scared off anyone who tried to court her.
Qu Youning disliked that he only knew how to use violence, that his head was so thick it held only one straight, inflexible thought, and that his crude words and manners made him entirely unfit to be her proper husband.
Then he ran away.
Qu Youning, who had prepared the betrothal gifts and made all the arrangements, was so furious she nearly ground her teeth to dust.
Three years later, after falling on hard times, Qu Youning came across a certain runaway husband again.
Run all you want. You still end up in my hands :)
Lei Chao was a well-known bachelor in Linghua Village. His muscles were terrifying, and the thick beard and frightening scars on his face made young women and married ladies alike steer clear of him.
It was only natural that a rough, ugly man like him couldn't find a wife. Even Lei Chao thought so.
That is, until he went into the mountains to check his traps and found a fairy in the filthy, dilapidated wooden hut he'd built there.
The fairy was a noblewoman from the capital, visiting relatives. She was the most beautiful girl in the world. Most importantly, she took the initiative and threw her arms around him.
*Neither character is perfect. Both have emotional issues, but they'll slowly get better. This is my personal preference, so consider it a mystery box. Your mileage may vary; if it's not for you, feel free to close it. May we all be happy~
*There is a secondary couple, but they have little page time.
*The writing style is modernized and freewheeling, with a plot and prose that both go flying off the rails~
*An alternate world! A very alternate world!! Women have higher status, and it's very common for them to hold government office. The setting is full of authorial inventions, so please don't overanalyze it!
*The heroine is delicate and sickly, but takes the lead in the relationship. The hero is a bit of a hapless simp, but loves her without a single regret.
*The hero is the strongest fighter in the entire series. His unparalleled talent combined with demonic training gives him a personal combat ability that surpasses the world's martial arts system. Other people who cultivate inner power won't be nearly this overpowered.
Theme: Always have the ability to love others and the courage to be loved.
