Fierce Wife of a Farmer's Household: A Frail Husband Who Spoils His Wife Endlessly

Li Miaomiao, a modern woman with a background in carpentry, transmigrates into the body of a woman who shares her name. The original Li Miaomiao was a quick-tempered village girl abused by her stepmother and stepsister. On her wedding day to her childhood sweetheart, Lin Dalang, she discovered he had abandoned her for her stepsister, Li Xiaorou, who had faked suicide. In a fit of despair and impulse, the original Li Miaomiao forced herself on Xiao Xian, a disabled man from a neighboring village, to secure a marriage of convenience. Upon waking in this new body, Li Miaomiao integrates the memories and realizes she is now married to Xiao Xian, a man with a broken leg who lives in a dilapidated hut. Despite the dire circumstances, she decides to stay, driven by a desire to survive and improve her life.

Xiao Xian is not merely a disabled villager but a former high-ranking official who was framed and exiled, leaving him with a hidden agenda and a deep-seated distrust of others. He initially views Li Miaomiao as a threat and considers killing her, but she outsmarts him by refusing to leave, instead repairing their broken home with her carpentry skills. She mends the door, makes proper crutches for him, and begins to manage their household. Their relationship starts with hostility and suspicion, as Xiao Xian tests her repeatedly, while Li Miaomiao remains pragmatic and unyielding, treating him with a mix of respect and boldness that confuses him.

As days pass, Li Miaomiao takes on the role of the family provider. She travels to the county market to sell her handcrafted wooden boxes, earning enough money to buy ingredients and tools. She confronts her stepfamily and Lin Dalang when they attempt to steal her father’s land, using a hidden deed to reclaim her property. Her assertiveness and sharp tongue earn her the fear and respect of the villagers, who previously dismissed her as a madwoman. Meanwhile, Xiao Xian begins to observe her closely, noting her competence and resilience. He starts to soften, occasionally helping with household chores and showing subtle signs of care, such as preparing porridge for her.

A pivotal moment occurs when Xiao Xian suffers a painful episode from his leg injury. Li Miaomiao refuses to let him suffer in silence and insists on treating him, leading to an intimate and awkward scene that breaks down some of his emotional barriers. She tends to his wounds with boiling water compresses, enduring his initial resistance and anger. This act of care marks a turning point in their relationship, shifting from mutual suspicion to a tentative partnership. Xiao Xian begins to accept her presence, and they establish a routine of coexisting with increasing harmony.

Despite the growing closeness, Li Miaomiao remains aware of Xiao Xian’s secrets. She notices his scars and his sudden flashes of violence and trauma, which hint at a violent past. She decides to support him in uncovering the truth behind his exile while focusing on building a stable life for them both. The story follows their journey as they navigate village politics, economic challenges, and the looming threat of Xiao Xian’s past enemies. Li Miaomiao’s modern skills and determination become key assets in helping Xiao Xian regain his strength and status, setting the stage for their future together.
