Sweet Little Bride, Fierce Hunter Spoils Her Like a Treasure

[Delicate Village Girl x Ruthless Hunter]

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

Su Ruanruan is the most pitiful girl in the village.

Her parents despise her, her sister-in-law mistreats her, and because she is frail and often sick, no one dares marry her even after she comes of age.

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

Everyone says Hunter Lu has killed too many living things and is full of murderous rage. Marry him, and even if you survive, you will be badly hurt.

Su Ruanruan is afraid too, but she can only tremble as she becomes Hunter Lu's wife.

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

But when she learns her body has been damaged and she may never conceive, the man spends every last coin of his savings to find medicine for her. His voice hoarse, he says:

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

Su Ruanruan gives up hope.

She no longer dreams of being his wife. She focuses on embroidery, saving money and planning to leave once she has repaid her debt to him. She will register as a woman living independently, and they will owe each other nothing.

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

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

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

"Su Ruanruan, in this life, I, Lu Tieshan, never once wanted to be only your brother."

"Stay. Be my wife, won't you?"
