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

"Madam, it's well past midnight; why aren't you asleep yet?" The maid attending to Madam Ru fought back her drowsiness, but if Madam Ru didn't sleep, they wouldn't dare to either.


"You all go to sleep, I'll sit for a while longer," she said, gently stroking a sash in her hands.


How could she sleep when her son was right in the next room?


What sort of potion had they fed him to make him act like a fool?


The night wind was strong, blowing open the decrepit window, and a pale silhouette stood by it in the moonlight, staring straight into the room.


A maid shielded the candle flame while another rose to close the window that the wind had blown open.


She screamed in fright upon seeing the person outside.


Startled by the scream, Madam Ru inside and another maid turned their heads, and the sash Madam Ru was holding dropped to the floor.


The two maids, confidants of Madam Ru, quietly exited the room upon seeing the situation.
