A Sweet, Delicate Beauty from the Seventies, Doted on by a Stoic Soldier Who'd Give His Life for Her

【1970s + doting marriage + face-slapping + taking down scum + age gap + mutual secret crush + sweet romance】 【A disciplined, abstinent, fatherly veteran × a sweet, soft-hearted girl with a rebellious streak】 Everyone in Tang Tian’s family treats her like a treasure, except her own father, who can’t stand her, and her stepmother, who resents her. They dote on her as she grows up, never making her work in the fields for work points, and keeping her fair and well-fed. But at seventeen, her stepmother sets her up, and she nearly falls prey to a villain. Luckily, a man appears out of nowhere and saves her, only for her to cling to him and refuse to let go. When Tang Tian comes to her senses, she panics, grabs her bedding, and runs. But the stern man corners her against a wall and demands, “You don’t want to take responsibility?” The girl immediately backs down. “I… I’ll take responsibility!” … In her previous life, Tang Zhen strictly observed propriety and desperately suppressed his feelings, working his way up the ranks so he could become her support. He wanted to make sure the sweet, delicate girl wouldn’t be mistreated after she married. But at seventeen, she was still ground into the dirt by others. In the end, her family was destroyed. Some died, and others went to prison. Given another chance at life, Tang Zhen no longer wants to run away. He’ll keep his girl by his side and protect her himself! Only, as he cares for her, one day the girl suddenly pulls out her bankbook, points to the countless zeros, and tells him, “Now it’s my turn to take care of you!”
