Reborn in the 1970S: The Rough-Hewn Village Secretary's Sweetheart

Lin Xing opens her eyes while burning with a high fever and on the brink of death, only to find herself in the body of an abandoned educated youth. Her uncle and aunt have traded her into marriage and sold her to an old bachelor. After catching her scumbag boyfriend cheating, she was left to die. But the moment she opens her eyes, she sees a rugged man in an old military uniform kick open the rickety door. He presses his long-fingered hand to her forehead and says in a low voice, “Burning yourself stupid? Come on, I’m taking you to the clinic.” Only later does she learn that he’s Lu, the village’s most intimidating Party secretary. Broad-shouldered and long-legged, he can scare people with a single cold look, yet he pulls her out of the mud, helps her file for divorce, and shields her from nasty gossip. He even wraps his military coat around her. “From now on, I’ll protect you.” Lin Xing, a food blogger in her previous life, takes the ration coupons he gives her and sets up a stall selling red-date steamed buns and soft, sweet dried sweet potatoes. With her excellent cooking skills, she makes a name for herself in the village.
