Reborn in the 1970S: Marrying the Toughest Man in the Village

Shu Ning lived half her life before she died a terrible death and finally realized she’d been manipulated all along! Reborn in 1970, she promptly kicks the scumbag to the curb and pulls back the rough-hewn man who was about to break off their engagement. This time, she’s determined to build a good life with him. But she never expected the man who used to act lovesick or whistle at the sight of her in their previous life to run away whenever he sees her. Gu Zhao is walking along the river when he comes across a female educated youth who has jumped in over a broken heart. He pulls her from the water, rescuing her while lecturing her: What’s love, anyway? If you want a man, come find me! After shamelessly flirting with her, he plans to leave without taking credit for saving her. But the young woman grabs him. “You kissed me. Aren’t you going to take responsibility? Won’t you marry me? If you won’t, what kind of man are you?” Gu Zhao steels himself. “Fine, I’ll marry you. Like I couldn’t afford to!” Later, Gu Zhao, who was always worried he couldn’t provide for his delicate city-girl bride, discovers she’s neither fragile nor fussy. She can work, earn money, and have children, and their family’s life just keeps getting better.
