(My new book "Sweet Love in the Countryside: His Little Plum of the Mountains" is out now, please add it to your collection) The village leader's son bullied her too much — in order to break off their engagement, he pushed her into a large water tank. She defiantly declared in front of the village leader's son that she would rather marry the ugliest man in the village than marry him! That hunchbacked, ugly man, the so-called "freak," actually approached her: "Does your declaration still stand?" "Uhm..." And so, while you hunt, I water the vegetables; while you farm, I do the embroidery. Together, we work hard, become prosperous, and live a colorful and thriving life.

Loved By An Older Man

The betrothal gift is two million bucks, not a single cent less. Jiang Yu is already eighteen years old and can get married now. Send the money to my card, and this matter is settled!" Jiang Yu looked at her mother, who was talking non-stop on the negotiation table. She watched as her mother named her price as she sold Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu could not believe it. Eighteen years ago, they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital, and Jiang Yu, the real daughter of a wealthy family, ended up in an orphanage until a year ago. Jiang Ran, the fake daughter of the Jiang family, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. With superior resources since she was young, she was more outstanding than Jiang Yu in every aspect and became the pride of the Jiang family. Jiang Yu, who wandered most of her time in the outside world, was nothing but a country bumpkin who made her mother a laughing stock in the socialite circle. However, Jiang Yu had no idea how great her mother's hatred for her was. On the day she turned eighteen, her mother 'sold' her with a named price. Jiang Yu said, "If you want to marry your daughter to someone else, it should be Jiang Ran. I'm your real daughter. You're the one who mistakenly brought Jiang Ran home!" Her mother replied, "Shut up. I wish I hadn't given birth to you. You've brought nothing but shame to me!" Jiang Ran said, "Big Sis, everything Mom does is for your own good. Don't blame Mom." Her mother said, "I'm convinced she's nothing but a debt collector who's come to me to collect her debts! Either you give me two million bucks, or you get married obediently!" Jiang Yu left home in despair. By a freak combination of factors, she found herself accidentally marrying a Mr. CEO. From then on, the thirty-year-old man pampered his eighteen-year-old wife to the heavens. The little girl said, "Mister, someone bullied your wife!" The man, "Which incompetent fool is so blind that he dares to bully you?"

Although short, it is concise and well written. One man for one woman, true love for both (even if it was a little forced at the beginning ). I can see this short story become at least 200 chapters. One more win for the author ! ♥️ ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The best husband is not to be trifled with

Hard mouth, soft heart, tsundere star female lead VS vicious mouth, kind heart, affectionate humble CEO male lead * After spending five years, Shen Yicheng still could not understand why Tang Yi wanted to break up with him. It was obvious that everyone agreed to their love. Looking at her back view as she left resolutely, he swore that he would make her fall for him until she wished she was dead. That night, Shen Yicheng flew to an unfamiliar city. Over there, he was an honest, gentlemanly, gentle, and modest gentleman. Little did they know that he used to be a crazy demon that everyone was afraid of. When they met again, he gave her a jacket at the party, and she thanked him politely. Tang Yi,"Why are you putting your clothes on me?" I think… Shen Yicheng said,"Miss Tang, you're mistaken. This dress belongs to the old butler." Tang Yi was speechless. Shen Yicheng: " Don't dirty it. You'll have to return it later. But it's fine if you dirty it. Wash your hands clean and return it to the old butler." In a fit of anger, she threw the clothes into the river. That night, Shen Yicheng acted up again and asked the butler to put the clothes into his bedroom. * After the misunderstanding was resolved, he was like a dog skin plaster, thoroughly and vividly explaining the words "living a life worse than death". "Baby, baby." "Baby, hug me, kiss me, touch me." " Baby, I love you. I love you so much." "Baby, if you leave me again, I'll, I'll commit suicide!"
