[Military marriage + period setting + sweet romance + devoted couple + family life + face-slapping]
Song Xiao arrived at Ruan Tao's home with a matchmaker, full of hopes for the marriage he'd been discussing with her through a year of letters. But the person he was expected to meet was Ruan Tao's older sister.
He also learned that Ruan Tao had gotten engaged the day before, and her fiancé was none other than his own nephew.
“Liar!”
Song Xiao cursed under his breath, crumpled the folded marriage application in his pocket, and went home in disappointment.
As soon as he reached his front gate, he ran into the liar, Ruan Tao, who came sprinting out of his nephew's room in disheveled clothes and jumped straight into the river.
Ruan Tao transmigrates into a novel written by her best friend, where she becomes the beloved supporting character who brings the male and female leads together. But the heroine has been reborn.
In her previous life, the heroine was cruelly mistreated by the male lead. Though things worked out in the end, she was still left with regrets.
Ruan Tao, meanwhile, not only earned the male lead's undying devotion but also married a military officer who treated her wonderfully. As a mere supporting character, she easily received all the pampering and affection the world had to offer.
Out of jealousy, the reborn heroine decides to switch lives with Ruan Tao. She schemes to tie Ruan Tao to the male lead in marriage while she marries the military officer who was Ruan Tao's husband in her previous life.
As soon as Ruan Tao arrives, she kicks the male lead off her, then jumps into the river to dispel the effects of the drug in her system.
Luckily, a sinfully charming gentleman comes to her rescue.
This gentleman is the very military officer the reborn heroine has her eye on.
When he says he's looking for a wife, Ruan Tao tells him, “Marry me!”
And he really does. Before long, the gentleman turns from a well-dressed beast into a beast who wears nothing at all, and every night Ruan Tao begs him to stop...
