After I Married the Sickly Man

Jiang Li was sold to the Lu family as a bride for a dying scholar. The villagers expected her to become a widow overnight, and she herself only cared about surviving and keeping the two mu of poor land promised to her. Yet Lu Wenzhou, frail as he is, still keeps accounts, plans chicken pens, protects her from greedy relatives, and quietly teaches her how to build a life. Between medicine bills, village gossip, family debts, and a barren west slope, Jiang Li learns that a home is not something fate hands down. It is made one bowl of medicine, one written account, one egg, and one stubborn day of living at a time.
