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

In the darkness, Gu Youyou saw Jin Zijin's eyes gleaming with a terrifying light, like that of a wild beast. More than the pain coming from her wrist, it was these eyes, these spine-chilling eyes, that she feared.


In the few days she had spent with Jin Zijin, she had only seen the good in him. His deep, inscrutable eyes were always calm, this was the first time they emitted such a frightening radiance.


Having spent years in a dark room, Gu Youyou's eyes were sharper than those of an average person. In such darkness, she could see much more clearly than others could, which made her even more afraid.


"Youyou?" Jin Zijin asked with a questioning tone, his breath still ragged.


Gu Youyou held her breath and, feigning calmness, said, "What happened? It's me!"


Jin Zijin was silent for a moment before he said hoarsely, "It's nothing, just a nightmare!"


Having said that, he let go of Gu Youyou and turned over to sleep with his back to her.
