A Marriage to Bring Good Fortune: The Comatose Officer Breaks His Vow on Their Wedding Night

[Both leads are each other's only partners, 1980s, alternate setting, transmigrate into a book, mutual devotion, love after marriage]

The moment Jiang Luoli opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into a period novel as a pitiful young woman. Her drunken father had married her off to an unconscious older man to exchange for money to buy alcohol.

Shen Junyao had a distinguished military record and had outlived three wives. At home, he also had three little brats clamoring to be fed.

Jiang Luoli did the math. The older man was well-off, his parents were both dead, and he wouldn't wake up for another three years. Once he did, he'd become the original heroine's devoted admirer and chase after her.

She'd become a mother without the pain of childbirth, have no mother-in-law to deal with, and, once Shen Junyao woke up, she could divorce him and collect a huge settlement. Could there be a better deal?!

Jiang Luoli set off happily with her little bundle to become a widow in all but name.

But...

Staring at the strong, strapping older man pinning her against the headboard, Jiang Luoli was so furious she could die. Weren't they supposed to have agreed he'd wake up in three years? What was he doing waking up on their wedding night?

In her previous life, Gu Liangyue rejected the childhood sweetheart who had silently protected her for years, insisting on marrying a wealthy merchant instead. The merchant had a cherished first love, and Gu Liangyue spent half her life matching wits with her. In the end, both women were left battered. Though Gu Liangyue and the merchant eventually married, she permanently lost the ability to conceive and was despised by her husband's family. Given another life, she decided to marry Shen Junyao this time, seeking a peaceful, steady life rather than a passionate one. But when she came to find him, the stern, cold-faced man was busy coaxing his pregnant wife, who was throwing a tantrum and threatening to leave home. He didn't even spare Gu Liangyue a glance.

Jiang Luoli: “Shen Junyao, get lost! I don't want to have this baby. I want a divorce!”

Shen Junyao humbly placated her: “Be good, don't make a fuss. We won't have another after this one, but divorce is out of the question.”
