Starting as a Butcher, I Married a Lady from a Rich Family

Starting as a Butcher, I Married a Lady from a Rich Family Plot:

Li Erniu, a country butcher, runs the meat shop left by his father. One day, Su Wanqing, a young lady in silk and satin, bursts in—she’s the daughter of a capital’s wealthy merchant, and their fathers had arranged their marriage before passing! Su Wanqing fled to the countryside to avoid a forced union, initially despising Li’s roughness. But she soon finds he leaves warm pig offal for stray cats, fetches water and repairs houses for an elderly neighbor, and even pretends to be “fearless” to catch a snake that scared her. Just as she’s falling for him, her fiancé from the capital arrives with men to take her back. Li clutches his butcher’s knife and stands in front of her: “I’m poor, but I’ll risk my life to protect my wife!” The gap in their identities and external pressure become the toughest test for this “marriage first, love later” story.
