Ruan Le is the famous village idiot of Qingshui Village. Despite his bewitching looks, his slow-witted nature makes the villagers shake their heads whenever they see him.
Ruan Le is already nineteen and on the verge of becoming an old bachelor among the village's ger. His mother is worried, and her health is getting worse. She's afraid that if she dies, someone will bully Le-ge'er.
So she uses the savings she's built up over the years to find him a live-in son-in-law. But before the man can marry into the family, she passes away.
Because of this, people start calling Le-ge'er a jinx. The live-in son-in-law pockets the betrothal money and refuses to go through with the arrangement.
Le-ge'er has no choice. Life still has to go on.
One day, he goes up the mountain to gather firewood and sees a ger from their village getting handsy with a man.
Before he can even cry out, someone else hiding in the bushes grabs him. Le-ge'er turns around, sees a terrifying pair of eyes, and faints in fright.
The villagers, who got the news early, come running to catch the people having an affair, eager for gossip. They never expected to find Ruan Le and Ying Li, both from their own village.
·
Ying Li is also famous in Qingshui Village, but he's known for being impossible to kill.
When he was three, his father “accidentally” threw him into a river. He survived and climbed back out. When he was six, his father “forgot” him on a mountain. He spent a whole month there alone, then came home without a scratch and even a little fatter.
When he was ten, his father still hadn't managed to make him accidentally fall into a well. Instead, his own leg got bitten by Ying Li's dog.
By the time Ying Li was twelve, his father no longer dared to engineer an accident. He could only keep his distance from the menace and split the household while still in good health.
Afterward, Ying Li kept showing up at the old house to mooch food and drink, and his father didn't dare say a word.
·
Everyone takes one look at them, especially Ying Li's father, and thinks they're a match made in heaven. In a panic, he dumps Ying Li, his troublesome burden, on Ruan Le.
On their wedding night, Ruan Le is curious about what happens on a wedding night. Ying Li takes off his clothes. Ruan Le sits up straight and carefully examines a certain enormous object, then faints again in fright.
Ying Li: “...”
A cheerful, timid shou VS a tough-as-nails, fatherly gong
Please note:
1. Ruan Le's brain was damaged by a fever when he was little, so he reacts more slowly than other people. He'll gradually grow and change, but his personality will remain the same.
2. Ying Li has emotional shortcomings and is not perfect.
3. Ruan Le and Ying Li save each other. They're each other's first love, and neither has been in a relationship before.
Coming soon: Threaten My Husband with a Knife to Make Him Study (If you're interested, add it to your library~)
The autumn Ruan Lin turns twelve, he's sent to stay with his maternal grandmother in Zhao Family Village for a visit. Unexpectedly, a month later, his parents die in an accident.
When he's seventeen, his grandmother dies too. By chance, he learns that his second maternal uncle plans to send him to the county to become a wealthy merchant's second wife.
He has no money, no travel permit, and his household registration is still with his second uncle's family. The only way out is to find a man he can control and marry him.
After careful consideration, he chooses Zhao Shi'an, a man from his village, to be his husband.
Zhao Shi'an is a scholar who does nothing but study. His parents died in an accident three years ago, and no one is supporting him. Ruan Lin sees this as the perfect chance to take advantage of the situation.
Of course, one reason Ruan Lin chose Zhao Shi'an is that he's the most handsome man for miles around.
Less than a month later, they get married, and Ruan Lin discovers that Zhao Shi'an is a bastard who doesn't want to study and only wants to loaf around.
In a fit of anger, Ruan Lin grabs Zhao Shi'an by the ear, drags him from one end of the village to the other, and locks him in a room.
He takes a kitchen cleaver and slams it down on the table. “Choose one: study, or lose a hand?”
Zhao Shi'an pouts, clutches Ruan Lin's leg, and sobs, “Lin-ge'er, I'll study!”
·
Zhao Shi'an is famous for being a child prodigy for miles around. He became a tongsheng at nine and passed the xiucai exam at eleven.
Unfortunately, he failed the juren exam in Wenzhou at fourteen. Then his parents died in an accident when he was fifteen, so he observed mourning for three years.
During those three years, he learned every bad habit of the county's spoiled young masters. But he was handsome and sweet-tongued, so the villagers were annoyed with him but couldn't bring themselves to do anything about it.
At first, Zhao Shi'an scoffs when Ruan Lin approaches him with a deal.
Ruan Lin says that if they marry, he'll cover all Zhao Shi'an's study expenses, and in the future he'll give him thirty percent of the money he earns.
Zhao Shi'an rolls his eyes. As if! He's finally managed to stop studying. Why would he put himself through that misery again?
But the next day, his second uncle's wife introduces him to a young woman from the village chief's family. Zhao Shi'an takes one look at the impatient girl, who's tapping her foot.
Suddenly, he realizes that “well-behaved” Ruan Lin isn't a bad choice.
He does need someone to support him, and Ruan Lin is willing. Isn't that a win-win?
As for studying, Zhao Shi'an chuckles to himself. Once they're married, how could his husband not listen to him? Then he can make Ruan Lin do whatever he wants.
There's no way Ruan Lin can keep him in line!
·
After they get married:
Zhao Shi'an feels he's been deceived. Ruan Lin's obedience before the wedding was all an act!
In the middle of the night, Ruan Lin won't even let him into the room. Zhao Shi'an is a man of true iron and steel! He refuses to believe he can't handle one little ger!
Zhao Shi'an climbs in through the window, takes the washboard from under the bed, kneels on it, grabs Ruan Lin's hand, and cries, “Lin-ge'er, I was wrong!”
Zhao Shi'an's philosophy of life: You have to know when to yield and when to stand firm. But when it comes to his own husband, even an apology should be made with an iron backbone!
A patient, hot-tempered, clever shou who's good at putting on an act VS a shameless, self-obsessed, cowardly gong
1. Both characters have their flaws. Neither is perfect.
2. Farming in the early part, business and the imperial exams in the middle, along with children, and court politics later on.
3. They belong to each other in body and soul.
Theme: The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Make the most of every day.
Feng He should have grasped Yuan Xiansha like this a long time ago. He has the scheming, the skill and the ability to do whatever he can't do [Let me be healthy]
It is completely different from the previous characters. No matter how anxious Ruan Le is, he will not come out alone, and he is unprepared. The plot setting is a bit outrageous. Lin Zhiyuan realizes that Ruan Le does not have to do this. Alas
I don't understand either. I would definitely discuss it with Ruan whether I should fight the bear or not. I didn't even see the discussion or Ruan's instructions. I was suddenly stunned and went to fight the bear. Why? Is it hard to go prepared?
Emm... Although Zhao Erniang is pitiful, if she really has such a friend in reality, it is better to stay away from her. No matter how much you help her, she will never be able to compare to her husband, and she might get stabbed in the back because of it.
This father is Chen Shimei. He really fell in love with this daughter, and he really abandoned his wife who was a loser. He lived until his old age without Bao Zheng coming out to kill him. Moreover, this Chen Shimei was very capable and achieved worldly success. Many people benefited, and only those he let down swallowed the bitter pill.
It was Ruan Le who was so smart that he cleared up his mother's image on He and her children. If she were not smart, her mother would be insulted by everyone in her life. How can this make me feel relieved that He and their children are innocent! They have been with Meimei for so many years, and how long have they suffered? What kind of third person with good intentions, this is the original sin! Because he has enjoyed the happiness this marriage has brought her. Her image will always be so innocent and innocent. In the eyes of the world, the only people who feel sorry for her are others. She is so superior, so disgusting! Ruan, Ruan, I hope you know the truth. If you are resentful, you will be resentful. If you are relieved, you will be relieved. It is your own choice.
Xiaolizi, you really met your living father
??? I can't understand this plot 🤷
I feel so disgusting. Don't talk about innocent people like He Qingrou. We are all bystanders. If Ruan Le's mother was alive and said she was relieved, then I would be relieved too. But after she died, she was remembered by everyone as someone who had sex with men without a matchmaker. Even though Ruan Le and the others stopped blaming his mother because of their wealth and other reasons, the image remained the same. It is the author's kindness that did not create an extremely miserable life experience for Ruan Le. His mother is alone, a beautiful woman, with a difficult bully or second-rate man, or she encounters a human trafficker who uses various means to sell his mother to a bad place. No one will sympathize with her and will only say that she deserves it. This is the result of not loving yourself.
