Name: The Widow and the Rough Man (Transmigrate)
Author: Mu Yao Rao

Synopsis

Blurb: Overworked office worker Shen Qingyin transmigrated into the body of a young widow.

She also inherited the widow’s noodle stall and her twelve-year-old brother-in-law.

Not long after arriving, she discovered that the empty courtyard next door was home to a strong, imposing man who was unusually taciturn.

*

Zhou Sheng had spent years in the army before returning to his hometown. His fierce, intimidating presence kept people from approaching him.

Until he met the widow, whose eyes held not the slightest trace of fear.

*Blurb: Arou accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by a burly hunter from the mountains. After he kissed and groped her, she had no choice but to marry him to protect her reputation.

The hunter’s late older brother had left behind two children. They were dirt poor and owed a huge debt.

She thought life ahead would be hard, but unexpectedly, things got better with every passing day.

*

Gu Lie was killed in action. When he opened his eyes, he had become a hunter in Shanghe Village.

The hunter was dirt poor and had two young nephews to raise.

On the very day he transmigrated, Gu Lie rescued a farm girl.

Though he had no feelings for her, he still married her to protect her reputation.

Theme: No matter the circumstances, never lose sight of your original intentions.
