Rebirth in 1978: I Hunt After the Broken Engagement

In his previous life, Gu Changhe was publicly jilted by his childhood sweetheart Jiang Hongmei. His uncle's family took advantage of the situation, seizing his parents' hunting rifle, quilt, and recruitment letter, and foisted upon him Wen Xuening, a capitalist's daughter with a bad class background, just for her purple sand medicine chest. He accepted his fate. But Wen Xuening suffered with him and died in a snowy night, and the Wen family was ruined. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the day of the broken engagement in 1978. The yard was full of people waiting to see him go mad, while Jiang Hongmei leaned into the arms of a male educated youth from the city. Gu Changhe put away the engagement termination letter and walked toward the pale-faced girl at the edge of the crowd. "I accept this marriage." In this life, those who broke off the engagement will regret it, those who stole things will have to spit them out, and anyone who dares to touch his wife will lose their claws. There are prey in the mountains and hot soup on snowy nights. While others gnaw on cornbread, he stews meat for Wen Xuening. The whole village laughs at him for marrying a black five-category element, saying he'll be dragged down sooner or later. Until wild boars enter the house, mountain goods are exchanged for money, the Wen family is rehabilitated, and old letters reveal a long-buried connection. Jiang Hongmei blocks the mountain pass, wanting to turn back. Gu Changhe holds Wen Xuening's hand and only replies, "Too late."
