Sweet Little Bride, Fierce Hunter Spoils Her Like a Treasure

[Sweet and Delicate Village Girl x Fierce Hunter]

[Slow-Build Romance + Marriage Before Love + Love Grows Over Time + Sweet Romance + Farming + Well-Behaved, Delicate Girl vs. Wild, Rugged Man]

Su Ruanruan is the most unfortunate girl in the village.

Her parents despise her, her sister-in-law torments her, and because she's frail and often ill, no one dares marry her even though she's old enough.

Until one day, her cruel sister-in-law pushes her onto Lu Tieshan, the most terrifying hunter in the village.

Everyone says Hunter Lu has killed too many animals and is full of bloodlust. Marry him, and she'll lose her skin even if she doesn't lose her life.

Su Ruanruan is afraid too, but she has no choice but to become Hunter Lu's wife, trembling all the while.

She works herself to the bone and tries to please him, even secretly making nourishing soup. All she wants is to bear him a child and earn a place for herself in this household.

But when she learns that her health has been ruined and she may never conceive, the man empties his savings to find medicine for her and says hoarsely:

"I only care for you as a younger sister. Don't try anything unnecessary."

Su Ruanruan gives up hope.

She stops dreaming of being his wife. She only does embroidery to save money, planning to leave once she's repaid her debt to him, register as a household of her own, and owe him nothing.

But on the day she packs her things and steps out the door, a pair of ironlike hands grabs her and yanks her back.

The man who has always been as cold and unyielding as a mountain pins her against the doorway, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse:

"Why do you think I brought you home in the first place?"

"Su Ruanruan, I, Lu Tieshan, never once thought I'd only be your brother."

"Stay. Will you be my wife?"
