Cherry Blossoms Falling

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter.
Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed?
Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money.
Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

The second son of the Gu Family thought to himself that things had gone south and hurriedly called his mother, but it was already too late.


Gu Youyou said with a faint smile, "I see your grandson is doing quite well; he doesn't seem terrified at all! If you don't believe it, why not invite the doctor and the village chief to testify? It's also fine to call a few more villagers. If everyone can prove that my scare has made your grandson a fool, I will accept responsibility."


...Wouldn't making it known to everyone be awful? The other families would certainly laugh at them for having a foolish son. They had deliberately chosen this time to come, specifically to avoid drawing attention from the villagers.


They had assumed that Jin Zijin as an outsider and Gu Youyou, who had rarely ever left her home, would be easy to bully, but they didn't anticipate Gu Youyou being so difficult to deal with.


Sick in body, but her mind was sharp as ever.
