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

This can't go on, Gu Youyou could only rack her brain for ways to self-rescue, as a means of diverting her attention.


She didn't know whether Huo Li taking her away had been noticed by Jin Zijin's spies left in Beijing. Had they informed Jin Zijin?


If they had, he should be able to catch up quickly on horseback, right?


But being taken away by Huo Li was a critical issue. She couldn't afford to wait and hope for Jin Zijin to come to her rescue. Perhaps...


Looking at the small stove warming the teapot, an idea suddenly struck her. She reached to a specific spot on her clothes.


There was an item, just like the Jade Pendant, that Gu Youyou had treasured and hidden away.


It was tucked within the folds of her clothing.


That was a bell given to her by Jin Ziyuan, who had told her it contained a Poisonous Insect. If she heated the bell over a fire, he would come for her.


Coincidentally, Jin Ziyuan was indeed near Beijing at this moment.
