1970, Dahe Commune, Lijia Village.
“Li Qinkuai! You… get off me!”
The man’s hoarse voice commanded the woman sitting on top of him, his bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Li Qinkuai.
He looked as if he wanted nothing more than to kill her.
Slap!!
Li Qinkuai raised her hand and struck Duan Pengyue across the face.
“Stay still!”
Then she tore at the few remaining pieces of clothing on his body.
Li Qinkuai moved quickly. Within seconds, Duan Pengyue lay naked on the straw-covered ground, his skin flushing red wherever her gaze fell.
Her eyes paused, and she let out a scornful laugh, reaching out to stroke his chest.
“Seems your body is more honest than your mouth… can’t lie…”
“You…!! Mmm!!”
Li Qinkuai watched the man beneath her tremble with pleasure and snorted triumphantly. “Keep pretending!”
“Let me go… Li Qinkuai, you have no shame!”
“If I had shame, would you still be under me?”
Li Qinkuai shamelessly retorted, her tone righteous and without a hint of embarrassment—utterly unlike a woman.
After so many failed attempts to seduce him, she had no choice but to drug him and take him by force.
Besides, she had used knockout drops, not an aphrodisiac. The man’s reaction couldn’t be faked.
“You brought this on yourself!”
Duan Pengyue’s furious voice rang in her ears, and then she was forced into a different position.
The man’s bound hands had somehow broken free…
Li Qinkuai was even more pleased.
Now that Duan Pengyue was taking the initiative, he couldn’t possibly deny responsibility afterward.
He had to take her back to the city with him.
But Li Qinkuai hadn’t expected the man who usually ignored her to act like a pervert in this regard, biting her all over like a dog.
……
When Li Qinkuai opened her eyes again, she turned her head groggily and, upon recognizing the person beside her, sat up in fright.
This… this was the twenty-year-old Duan Pengyue!!
Li Qinkuai quickly stood up, taking in her surroundings as memories flooded her mind.
She had been reborn!
In her previous life, Duan Pengyue had been an educated youth sent down to the village at this time—tall, handsome, but not very talkative, with a somewhat cold personality.
Li Qinkuai had taken a liking to him at first sight, especially since Duan Pengyue had an urban household registration. Marrying him meant she could return to the city with him when the opportunity arose.
Over the course of a year, Li Qinkuai had used every trick to seduce him, but he never took the bait.
Just then, the list of educated youth allowed to return to the city was announced, and Duan Pengyue was on it.
Li Qinkuai’s father was the production team leader, so she learned about it immediately. She wanted to live a good life in the city and was determined to marry Duan Pengyue.
So she resorted to even more despicable means.
Li Qinkuai drugged Duan Pengyue, forced herself on him, and then pressured him into marrying her.
She successfully followed Duan Pengyue back to the city.
What she thought would be the beginning of her happiness turned out to be the start of a nightmare.
After marrying and returning to the city, Li Qinkuai discovered that Duan Pengyue had a childhood sweetheart named Qing Shuangyun, and the two had long been deeply in love.
Originally, the two families had agreed that once Duan Pengyue returned from the countryside, the two would marry. But unexpectedly, Li Qinkuai became the obstacle, preventing them from being together.
It was only after following Duan Pengyue back to the city that Li Qinkuai discovered his identity was not simple.
It turned out he was the youngest son of a high-ranking official. After graduating from university, he had responded to the national policy by going to the countryside for training. Upon returning to the city, he was to be arranged to join the military.
Li Qinkuai thought that since she had already married Duan Pengyue, she was now a member of the Duan family. As long as she behaved honestly, she could live a good life.
But she never expected that not a single member of the Duan family would look favorably upon her, bullying her both openly and secretly.
Especially Duan Pengyue’s younger sister, Duan Pengwei. She was closest to Qing Shuangyun and wanted Qing Shuangyun to be her sister-in-law the most. She simply couldn’t stand Li Qinkuai, thinking that a country girl like her was unworthy of her second brother.
Qing Shuangyun also harbored resentment toward her, often secretly mocking and ridiculing her in daily life.
Li Qinkuai endured all of this.
Until one day, when Li Qinkuai was at home, she saw Duan Pengyue return from the military, and Qing Shuangyun hugged his waist, pouring out her feelings.
It turned out Qing Shuangyun had never given up, and Duan Pengyue still had feelings for her in his heart.
Li Qinkuai didn’t want to force a relationship either and planned to divorce Duan Pengyue.
But before she could bring up the divorce, Qing Shuangyun had someone kidnap her.
She was taken to an old house and burned alive.
The pain of being burned by the fire was something that, just thinking about it, could make Li Qinkuai break out in a cold sweat.
No!
This time, she couldn’t repeat the same mistakes.
Li Qinkuai picked up her clothes and put them on, wanting to escape the scene before Duan Pengyue woke up.
After all, if she didn’t force Duan Pengyue to marry her, he probably wouldn’t bring it up himself.
Just as she finished dressing, Li Qinkuai saw Duan Pengyue frown, his eyes drowsy as he turned to look at her.
He was awake!
Li Qinkuai instinctively picked up a stick from the ground and swung it, hitting the man on the forehead.
Duan Pengyue was knocked unconscious by the blow and fell back asleep.
Li Qinkuai threw down the stick and ran home.
Although it was nighttime and most people were resting at home, Li Qinkuai was still afraid of being seen.
When she returned home, the whole family was still waiting for her.
Cheng Yun saw her come back and immediately stood up from the stool, striding over to grab her hand, asking nervously, “How did it go? Did it work?”
Her father, Li Dafu, was also eagerly waiting for Li Qinkuai to speak.
Li Qinkuai had run so fast that she was out of breath, panting heavily.
Her older brother, Li Qinfen, quickly poured a glass of water for her and asked anxiously, “What happened? Tell us quickly.”
Li Qinkuai plopped down on a stool, gasping for breath, and said, “It didn’t work! I don’t want Duan Pengyue anymore!”
The medicine was bought by her mother, the plan was thought up by her father, and Duan Pengyue was tricked out by her brother.
If her parents and older brother found out that she had already succeeded in forcing herself on him, they would undoubtedly force Duan Pengyue to marry her no matter what. Wouldn’t that just be repeating the same mistakes?!
So Li Qinkuai decided not to tell the truth.
“Why? The plan was perfectly laid out. How could it not work?” Li Dafu grew anxious, pressing her for an answer.
“Exactly, tell us why he escaped. We’ll learn from this experience. Next time, we have to succeed!”
Li Qinfen declared confidently.
He was determined to make his sister live a good life, no matter what it took.
“Right, Qinfen is correct. Tell us how he got away. We’ll be more careful next time!”
Li Qinkuai saw that her parents and eldest brother were even planning their next move and quickly said, “No, actually I let him go. I suddenly realized he’s just like that, I don’t like him anymore, so I let him go. I really don’t like him anymore.”
Cheng Yun looked at her daughter and immediately saw she wasn’t telling the truth. Grabbing her wrist, she said, “Qinkuai, tell me the truth. What really happened?”
In an instant, the suspicious gazes of all three fell upon her face.
It seemed that without a reliable reason, her parents and eldest brother wouldn’t let Duan Pengyue off the hook.
A flash of inspiration struck Li Qinkuai—she had it!
“I pulled down his pants, and it wasn’t even as big as my toenail, so…”
