[Era: Rural, Realistic, Ensemble Cast, Domestic Drama, Forbidden Love, Rugged Man vs. Neighbor's Young Bride + Significant Age Gap.]
On her wedding night, Li Chuntao was abandoned by her husband, becoming an "ill-omened" woman overnight, the subject of everyone's scorn and gossip.
In the withered grass of the eastern gully, the rugged neighbor trapped her in his arms. "Peach, I want you. Be with me."
Amidst the western wheat straw stacks, his scorching breath enveloped her. "Peach, I've been dying for you. Don't even think of running."
On the road selling watermelons, he carried her into the water, panting heavily. "I'm addicted to you. Can't quit."
He pinned her against the kitchen stove, his words deliberate. "In this life, you can only be Zhou Zhijun's woman, only bear my children..."
The man was like a frenzied beast, driven wild at the sight of her.
Yet when she was bullied, his eyes turned dark and vicious. "Lay a finger on her again, and I'll end you!"
He changed her sanitary pads, simmered chicken soup for her late at night, and even got a vasectomy for her, becoming the first man in the village to "go under the knife"!
As the obsessive, rugged man transformed into a doting husband, and forced entanglement turned into mutual devotion, this looked-down-upon "living widow" lived a life that became the envy of every woman in the village.
