Sweet Military Marriage: A Blessed Young Wife in the Eighties

[Satisfying romance + devoted couple]

In her previous life, everyone envied Jiang Yue for marrying Shen Qinghe, a gentle and capable man.

He sent her to school and taught her how to do business. He never looked down on her for being unable to bear children, and loved her so much that even after she lost her sanity, he personally cared for her with painstaking devotion.

But only Jiang Yue knew that Shen Qinghe did not love her. He had a beloved woman he could never have. For that woman's sake, during the first two years of their marriage, he used Jiang Yue's young age as an excuse to avoid consummating the marriage, whispering sweet nothings in her ear for two years. After those two years, he told her that he suffered from an intimate ailment and was unable to be a husband to her. By then, she had already fallen deeply in love with him and felt nothing but sympathy. To help him keep the truth hidden, she bore more than thirty years of blame and abuse.

Only at the end of her life did Jiang Yue learn the truth: Shen Qinghe was not incapable of fathering children. Before their marriage, he had already fathered two sons with his beloved, and had even gotten a vasectomy to be safe. After the husband of the woman he longed for died, Shen Qinghe secretly put drugs in Jiang Yue's food to gradually rob her of her sanity, so he could reclaim his sons and pass on the family fortune to them.

Reborn, Jiang Yue returned to the time before the Shen family sent a matchmaker to the Jiang household. Defying her family's objections, she swore she would never marry Shen Qinghe. If she had to marry, she would choose Huo Chong, a military officer from her village who already had a child.

First, she wouldn't have to bear children after getting married. Second, Huo Chong would die young, leaving her a pension so she would never have to worry about money for the rest of her life. Third, she wouldn't have to serve her parents-in-law. What could be better?

But years into their marriage, Jiang Yue kept looking forward to the day Huo Chong would die, only to see him vigorous and full of life every day, while her belly kept swelling again and again.
