I've just opened the comments section~

Blurb:

Yu Ruizhu transmigrates into The 1980s as a newlywed bride.

Her husband is a butcher.

The butcher is stern, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, taciturn, and has a scar on his face. Children cry at the sight of him, and young women in the village are afraid of him.

The day before she transmigrated, the original owner had refused to marry him and gone on a hunger strike. She'd looked at the scar on the butcher's face with disgust and called him an ugly freak, saying he couldn't compare to her handsome sweetheart.

Yu Ruizhu thinks the original owner had terrible taste. No wonder she was a hopeless love-struck simp.

This butcher is strong and muscular, stern but attentive and gentle, with a nurturing, motherly air. Isn't he much better than the original owner's scumbag sweetheart, who's as skinny as a chick?

She decides the butcher is exactly her type.

*

The butcher is nearly thirty and still unmarried. The scar on his face is indeed frightening, but he never wanted to marry anyone in the first place, so it doesn't bother him.

Yu Ruizhu has a poor reputation in the village, but she's his childhood betrothed, so he honors her parents' request and marries her.

He never expects her to torment him in every way and point at his nose to call him ugly.

With a dark expression, he thinks he'll send her back the next day. But the following morning, she seems like a different person.

She no longer goes on about her sweetheart all day. Instead, she stares straight at him.

She takes the opportunity to touch him all over...

She even coos and acts coy, taking his hand with a smile in her eyes.

She cooks delicious food for him, and then...

In the night, between ragged breaths, the woman leans in to kiss the scar on his cheek. She doesn't show the slightest disgust, but hugs him tight and smiles happily. “You're so manly. It's a mark of a hero.”

The usually stern butcher blushes bright red after she flirts with him.

He doesn't know what “manly” means...

But he knows he's done for.

From now on, he'll have to work even harder to earn money and support his family, especially his delicate, sweet wife.

[Poor Tom, completely at her mercy]

※ Come on in if you like face-slapping stories. The male lead's words say one thing, but his actions say another.

※ At first she makes the moves, then he relentlessly pursues her, blushing and stiff as he flirts.

Note: This is my take on a period novel. You can treat it as an alternate-history story (just between us).
