The Village Doctor's Darling in the The 1970s

[Please add this to your reading list!!!]

Qian Xiaoman had a dream.

In the dream, she used the fact that she'd saved Xu Bainian from drowning to guilt-trip him into marrying her. After they wed, she looked down on his family background and resented him for being useless, making life miserable for his elderly parents and the handsome, aloof man.

Later, the Xu family was cleared of accusations and returned to the city. Xu Bainian became a renowned medical professor and married his childhood sweetheart, who was a good match for him. After many twists and turns, Qian Xiaoman became the Xu family's newly hired housekeeper.

Qian Xiaoman woke with a start, still shaken. But she remembered one thing: Xu Bainian, the unremarkable village doctor, would go far in the future.

Everyone said his family background was a liability and that marrying him meant a life of hardship. Qian Xiaoman thought, “It'll only be hard for a little while. Once he returns to the city, the good life will be waiting for us.”

She had just one goal: marry Xu Bainian, live a good life with him, and look forward to becoming a professor's wife!

When the news came that the Xu family had been cleared and the national college entrance examination would be reinstated, the good days Qian Xiaoman had been waiting for finally arrived. She was the first to panic. She knew better than anyone what ulterior motives she'd had when she married him.

She prepared herself for a divorce, but to her surprise, Xu Bainian was the one who refused.

The usually gentle man became someone else entirely. For days, he wouldn't let her out of bed, pinching her cheek fiercely. “Qian Xiaoman, you were the one who clung to me and insisted on marrying me. Don't even think about divorcing me in this lifetime.”

Qian Xiaoman always thought she'd tricked Xu Bainian into marrying her. What she didn't know was that, even when he had nothing, he had already seriously considered how to give this spoiled, greedy girl a good life.
