So Embarrassing! My Rugged Husband Kissed Me to Tears the Moment I Woke Up

Song Jiaojiao, a modern woman who inherited a wealthy estate, transmigrates into the body of a starving peasant girl in the drought-stricken Dazhao Dynasty. The original host, known as the Song family jinx, had been sold by her desperate father to the Sheng family for a luck-bringing marriage to their comatose eldest son, Sheng Huaian, in exchange for half a sack of coarse flour. Song Jiaojiao arrives at the Sheng camp on the tenth day of a famine escape, facing immediate hostility from her new in-laws, who view her as a curse and a burden. Despite their attempts to abandon her, she uses her modern knowledge and quick wit to manipulate the situation, pretending her husband has awakened to deter them from splitting the household. Shortly after, she binds with an Encyclopedia System that rewards her with points for discovering flora and fauna, which she can exchange for food, medicine, and supplies in a virtual mall.

Survival becomes her primary objective as she navigates the harsh realities of the refugee journey. Using the System, she acquires sweet potatoes and penicillin, the latter of which she uses to save Sheng Huaian from a fatal infection after he awakens. Her actions shift the family dynamic; she protects the Sheng family from a violent refugee riot, displaying martial arts skills learned from her late husband, and later prevents a cholera outbreak by identifying contaminated water sources. Although the villagers initially blame her for their misfortunes, Sheng Huaian publicly defends her, establishing her as a capable and essential member of the group. The family, along with a small contingent of loyal villagers, separates from the main refugee column to avoid the spreading epidemic.

The journey grows increasingly perilous as the group encounters a cholera outbreak in a nearby village and faces a pack of starving wolves descending from the mountains. Song Jiaojiao’s System alerts her to the approaching predators, and she coordinates with Sheng Huaian to defend the group. During the attack, the cowardice of Sheng Erlang, the second brother, is exposed when he attempts to sacrifice his children to save himself, leading to a confrontation with his wife, Mrs. Fang. Sheng Huaian, wielding his strength and combat experience, helps repel the wolves, solidifying his role as the family’s protector. The incident deepens the rift between the brothers and highlights the moral decay caused by desperation.

As they continue south toward Fengzhou City, Song Jiaojiao plans to eventually divorce Sheng Huaian once her household registration is secured, aiming for independence. However, her growing competence and the respect she earns from the Sheng family complicate her original goal of remaining invisible. The narrative follows her strategic use of the System to gather resources, her medical interventions to keep the group alive, and her navigation of complex family politics. The story establishes a trajectory where Song Jiaojiao must balance her desire for freedom with the immediate threats of starvation, disease, and violence in a lawless, war-torn landscape.
