In his previous life, he got drunk and ruined her virtue, then drove her to attempt suicide with cruel words. Only after her family was destroyed did he realize his mistake.
Reborn on a stormy night, he kicked down the door and saved her from hanging herself, then swore in front of everyone:
“Give me one month. I’ll get the three big-ticket items and marry you!”
The whole village burst into laughter. “That penniless good-for-nothing? Keep dreaming!”
He slipped into the mountains, dug up a hidden stash, and plunged himself into the greasy, foul-smelling kitchen.
With pork offal costing fifteen cents a pound, he simmered a golden braising broth that drove the whole town wild.
When bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and radios filled the rundown courtyard of the Sun family home, every sneer turned to shock.
His former rival came by to provoke him, only to be floored by the aroma of his braised dishes on one hand and his fists on the other.
He slapped a bright red bankbook onto the table and looked straight into her tearful eyes.
“Jingxue, in this life, I won’t let you suffer even the slightest hardship.”
See how this reborn scoundrel changes his fate with his braised dishes, face-slapping the whole village and trading a broken engagement letter for a gold-embossed wedding invitation.
