[Military Marriage, Sweet Romance + Pregnant First, Love Later + Face-Slapping and Scum-Tormenting]
Jiang Dongyue was reborn at the scene of her broken engagement. She turned around and married a discharged soldier, a rough man everyone said was "sick."
The whole village mocked her for picking up someone else's castoff, but then they saw:
Her officer husband traded his medals for an enamel basin so she could soak her feet,
carved a ring from a bullet casing to coax her into forgiving him,
and melted down his Third-Class Merit Medal to make a gold lock, saying it was a New Year's gift for their future daughter.
Tang Yan had three big secrets:
First, he'd met six-year-old Jiang Dongyue when she fell into the water. The sweetness of the milk candy that melted on his tongue stayed with him for twelve years.
Second, an unremoved shrapnel fragment was lodged beside his heart. The doctor said he wouldn't live past thirty.
Third, he had hidden a divorce petition, with the date filled in as their next life.
When international human traffickers ran into his gun,
when a green-tea military doctor lifted the flap of his tent,
when enemy agents' bullets pierced her wedding veil,
Jiang Dongyue gripped the hemostat she'd use to deliver a baby and sneered, "You want to touch my man? Did you ask the King of Hell first?"
Later, at the military district's commendation ceremony, Tang Yan pinned his wife against the armory. "We agreed on two kids. How come you're carrying three?"
Jiang Dongyue bit down on the star on his shoulder board. "That's because you used a shell casing for our wedding ring... Mmph!"
