After Transmigration, the Delicate Darling Won the Heart of a Wolfish Rugged Man

Lin Suhe, a pampered daughter from a wealthy family in the twenty-first century, transmigrates into the body of a sixteen-year-old girl in the fictional Great Yu dynasty. The original Lin Suhe was the only child of a poor farmer who raised her with deep affection after her mother died in childbirth. Following the father’s accidental death from a fall while hunting, the girl sold the family’s farmland to pay for the funeral and mourned beside the coffin for seven days until she collapsed from exhaustion. Upon waking, she discovers she has been replaced by the modern soul. Her second uncle, Lin Qingshan, and second aunt, Zhao Qiuju, reveal their true colors by planning to sell her to a slave trader to make a profit, having refused to help save her father when he was alive.

Facing the immediate threat of being sold into slavery, Lin Suhe decides she must secure a protector. She recalls Jiang Wangchuan, a twenty-one-year-old unmarried hunter who had lent the original owner ten copper coins to hire a doctor for her father. Jiang Wangchuan lives alone halfway up the mountain after quarreling with his family. That night, Lin Suhe climbs the dark mountain and knocks on his door, asking to be his wife. Jiang Wangchuan is initially cold and reluctant, noting his own poverty and her delicate, uncalloused hands that suggest she cannot handle hard labor. However, Lin Suhe insists, offering her remaining savings and promising to work. To prove her worth, she reveals she possesses knowledge of various crafts, including how to make malt sugar, soap, and paper.

Jiang Wangchuan is skeptical but intrigued by her claim about sugar production. Before he can fully process her proposal, Zhao Qiuju arrives at his door, shouting accusations of impropriety and demanding Lin Suhe return. Lin Suhe steps out from behind Jiang Wangchuan and publicly declares her intention to marry him, exposing her uncle and aunt’s plan to sell her to a slave trader. The villagers, who had gathered to watch the drama, turn against Zhao Qiuju upon hearing that she attempted to sell her own niece. Jiang Wangchuan defends Lin Suhe, declaring that he will marry her after her one-year mourning period is over and that he will treat her well. He challenges Zhao Qiuju to bring the matchmaker, implying he knows it is actually a slave trader, which silences her.

With the immediate danger passed, Jiang Wangchuan accepts Lin Suhe as his future wife. He takes her to town to sell animal hides, using the money to buy tools for making malt sugar and new clothes for her. Their relationship develops through daily interactions; he protects her from cold water and hard labor, while she relies on him for safety and companionship. They begin their business by sprouting wheat to create malt sugar and gathering honey locust pods to make soap. Lin Suhe’s modern knowledge proves valuable, allowing them to produce goods that are superior to what villagers typically use. Despite her delicate nature, she tries to adapt to their new life, though she remains physically weak and easily frightened by insects.

As they settle into a routine, Jiang Wangchuan’s feelings deepen. He is protective of her, ensuring she eats well and does not overexert herself. Lin Suhe, in turn, finds comfort and safety in his presence, something she never experienced in her previous life or in her former body. The story follows their efforts to build a livelihood together in a harsh environment. They face the challenges of poverty, social scrutiny, and the physical demands of rural life. Lin Suhe’s knowledge of traditional crafts becomes their primary source of income, setting the foundation for a better future. The narrative focuses on their growing bond and the practical steps they take to establish their household, with Jiang Wangchuan committed to providing for her and Lin Suhe determined to contribute to their shared life.
