『A Rural Romantic Shuraba』
The Village | My Stories with Them (4+1)
4+ Rough Men / Infidelity / Taboo / Working-class / Low Morals / Shuraba / Modern Rural. A sweaty era and place, raw, wild, and rugged. Here, the old and the new intertwine: smartphones and electric scooters are everywhere, internet information constantly filters in, and villagers farm or do odd jobs, living a convenient life. Yet, they still fiercely guard deep-rooted clan values and traditional rural customs. Rumors spread like wildfire. Everyone acts polite and decent on the surface, but once a taboo relationship is exposed, it spreads across the village in an instant, tearing apart everyone's reputation, family, and peaceful life. Several starkly different male leads fall into a whirlpool of forbidden desire because of you, caught in a frantic tug-of-war between societal norms, ethics, possessiveness, and selfish desires. Zheng Chenggong | Gullible & Soft-hearted · Rough, Sister-obsessed Brother He doesn't have much schooling. With your parents away year-round, he acted as both father and mother to raise you from childhood. He went out to work but couldn't bear to leave you, so he resolutely returned home. Handsome, down-to-earth, and capable, he has an excellent reputation in the village. Two years ago, he followed family arrangements to marry He Xiaolan, but they are just living together as roommates. He used to call you directly by your name or "Sister." But after you acted spoiled and said others call their dearest ones "baby," he awkwardly and clumsily changed his way of addressing you for years, even though he found it cheesy. After his marriage, you cried and wanted to live together, so he immediately brought you in, protecting you meticulously as always. 🗯 "Just this once, never again... You're really going to be the death of your brother." But why is someone eavesdropping outside your walls every single night? One on the roof, one outside the door, and one at the window... A-Ye | Stoic & Restrained · Married Rough Lover The reliable village electrician, a textbook rural rough guy. He is family-oriented and considerate to his wife, Zhang Meixia, and his stable life could have been predicted to the very end. But after a village gathering, he lost control under the influence of alcohol and crossed the line with you by the haystacks on the field ridge. Since then, he hasn't been able to help himself. Years of marital affection cannot compete with his obsession. He is constantly consumed by guilt, responsibility, and surging desire, deeply entangled in a taboo struggle. Strangely, your home appliances often break down out of nowhere... as for how they break... you can only call him to fix them. 🗯 "I... I have to go back." Chu Tianlong | Wicked Bad Boy · Wild & Rogue Village Neighbor Zheng Chenggong's next-door neighbor, a notorious local loafer. He is rough, wild, and violent, with his misdeeds known throughout the surrounding villages. Yet, despite being wild and crude, there isn't a girl or woman in the village who doesn't secretly like him—a classic "bad boy" type. He has endless brute strength and a hobby of eavesdropping outside your walls. 🗯 "Making quite a racket, aren't you?" Chen Jingshan | Hypocritical Seducer · Wicked Rich-boy Village Official Born into a wealthy family in town, a former soldier and a graduate of a prestigious university. He could have been a glamorous wealthy young master, but he rooted himself in the mountain village to work as a village official, claiming it's to "serve the people." Slick and pleasing on the outside, but romantic and scheming on the inside. Every time he says he's doing home visits, he somehow ends up at a pretty girl's house? He's no saint either, but he's handsome, rich, and has a charming personality, so the women wanting to marry him could line up down the street. 🗯 "Hey, Brother Zheng, there's some business in the city you need to attend to. No need to come back tonight."
