Peace Year After Year

During the spring plowing season, Tong Sui got married in a hurried, haphazard fashion. Her husband’s family lived twenty li away, and Tong Sui had never been there. She had never met the man who had been away performing military service for six years, either. She had only heard that he was so fierce that even local ruffians wouldn’t dare provoke him. On the eve of her wedding, a scholar from next door had tried to elope with her. Tong Sui refused. She liked the scholar’s gentle manners, but she knew even better that in such troubled times, he could never protect her. · Romance after marriage, with a slice-of-life feel. · Ordinary married couple work their way up step by step.
