After Marrying the Rugged Hunter, I Became the Village's Treasured Darling

Su Xiaoman, a modern corporate slave, died from staying up late to finish a project. She accidentally bound the “Village Favorite” System and traveled back in time to become a stand-in bride for a runaway young lady in ancient times, tasked with “making the rugged hunter Gu Ye fall in love with her.” She originally planned to return to modern times after completing the task, but after marrying him, she discovered Gu Ye’s big secret: he’s a hermit cultivator banished to the mortal world for refusing the sect leader’s daughter’s proposal—only true love can restore his powers. While helping him make medicine, she noticed the cinnabar mole unique to cultivators on his palm; while hunting with him, she saw him understand a deer’s plea; even when she was attacked by a wild boar, he suddenly regained partial powers and used his shotgun (actually a fairy sword) to fend it off. What’s more, the more system tasks she completed, the more the whole village doted on her: helping an aunt catch a chicken-thieving weasel earned her hot eggs, teaching kids to write her name got her chased with wild strawberries, and even the stern old clan leader secretly gave her his treasured ginseng for saving his grandson with the system-rewarded fever medicine. When Gu Ye finally said “I think I love you” with red eyes, the system suddenly notified her “Task completed—you can return to modern times.” But looking at the silver bracelet Gu Ye made with his spiritual power (to protect her), Su Xiaoman cried and pressed “Give up returning”—she had long forgotten about going home; all she wanted was to stay with this rugged cultivator and his gentle warmth for the rest of her life in the village.
