Synopsis

[Both leads are romantically inexperienced] [One couple] [Strong female lead]

[A lack of ratings doesn’t mean it isn’t good! There just haven’t been many readers leaving ratings yet. If you like it, feel free to leave a review!]

[If you’re writing about the Republican era, you can’t only write about neon lights, dancing, and singing. You also have to write about women rising up to save their country.]

After undergoing hypnosis that took her through a past life and the present, Jian Xi accidentally glimpsed fragments of her previous life.

One night, in a dream, her past self drew her into a parallel timeline set in the Republican era. From then on, Jian Xi became Ji Jianxi.

The first thing she did after her soul traveled into the new body was enter a marriage arranged by her family. To begin a new life, she resolutely chose to divorce.

Leaving behind her childhood crush, she helped the young marshal pursue a greater cause and set out on a new path.

Along the way, she placed her unreserved trust in the young marshal and worked hard to keep her promise, becoming his strongest source of support.

As the flames of war swept across the land, their feelings began to change. Would they remain comrades in arms, or would she become his cherished wife once more?

Faced with this mature love, what would she choose…

P.S. The story is set in a fictional Republican-era setting. The heroine cares more about her career than romance. She may have a golden finger, but she is no saint.
