Medicine and Beauty in the Farmhouse

Everyone says An Qiao is a fierce, foul-mouthed, lecherous glutton who’s lazy and shameless. Within half a month of getting married, she beat her mother-in-law black and blue, pretended to be sick every day so she wouldn’t have to get out of bed and work, and, as soon as she was divorced, ran up a mountain to meet a man in secret. An Qiao snapped: What a load of crap. The truth was that her good-for-nothing young husband had never wanted to marry her. After the wedding, he went out carousing every night and caught a chill. His wicked mother-in-law took a dislike to An Qiao and made things difficult for her at every turn. When An Qiao accidentally slapped her, the woman went berserk and beat her so badly she couldn’t get out of bed for three days. Afraid An Qiao might die, she hurriedly dumped her back at her parents’ home. Who knew An Qiao would not only survive, but also rescue a handsome man along the way? But who would believe that story? Anyone with eyes could see that An Qiao’s prospects had improved ever since her divorce. Men came by all day claiming they wanted medical treatment, and the flirtatious atmosphere was so thick it made anyone watching feel sick with envy. After accepting her new identity, An Qiao had no choice but to keep going as if she were hopped up on stimulants. First she fought her in-laws, then, after being divorced, she fought her unreliable family, and after that she had to battle all manner of monsters and demons. It seemed her life would be one endless fight. An Qiao sighed. “Life is full of struggles. You either keep fighting like you’ve been injected with stimulants, or you lie down and play dead.” The handsome man said, “All this fighting is exhausting. Come rest in my arms.” An Qiao shot him a sidelong glance. “Sure. You lie down first and play dead.” (This is a fictional world. Please don’t overanalyze the historical details.)
