The Fertile Sweetheart of the Eighties: Spoiled Rotten by a Rough-Hewn Man

Xia Xiaoman transmigrates into the 1980s and is dealt a terrible hand. In the famine years, she gives birth to three children out of wedlock. Just keeping herself and her three kids alive is hard enough, yet she also has to endure the vicious gossip that can ruin a person. Then she inexplicably clings to her cousin’s arranged match. She insists that all three children are his. A woman who can give birth but can’t afford to raise the children, and who steals her cousin’s man because she can’t find anyone else to take her in. (Xia Xiaoman: I’m more wronged than Dou E!) With such a good background, he’d have to be blind to fall for a wreck like her. But later, the rough-and-tumble man shows up with her, handing out wedding candy to everyone. Everyone hopes Xia Xiaoman will be kicked out of the family. But then they watch her conduct medical research, steadily rise through the ranks to become a department head and then a professor. She even develops a miracle drug for an incurable disease, earning bonuses by the handful and one national honor after another. The aloof, stern rough-and-tumble man spoils her every night until she’s pleading for mercy in a sweet, breathless voice.
