Zhang Liuyi is the daughter of the butcher family in Zhuohe Village. She wields her pig-killing knife with divine skill and is known for her fierce temper outside. Xiong Zixiang is the constable from the Xiong family in the west of the village. His fierce reputation is enough to stop children from crying at night, and he is a well-known omen of dread in the county office.
These two older unmarried people with bad reputations happened to catch the eye of the warm-hearted Mother Xiong. She invited a matchmaker, pulled the red string, and the marriage was settled just like that.
But Liuyi had a condition: Engagement is fine, but the wedding date must be postponed. Let me spend some time with my old dad, and also see for myself whether this Constable Xiong is a real evil spirit or a fake omen of dread.
Thus, life in Zhuohe Village continued as usual. Only, the dashing figure carrying the pig-killing knife and the constable who silently returned home—where their gazes met, the stove fire gradually warmed up, and the blade's edge... seemed not so cold anymore.
