The Scientist Wife in the Seventies, and the Commander Begging for Recognition Every Day

1970s + period setting + military marriage + heroine breaks off her engagement + hero falls in love with her at first sight When Li Jiu opened her eyes, she found herself a bride who'd been sold to someone as a good-luck charm, only to bring him bad luck and kill him. The family wanted to kill her and marry her off again. She grabbed a broom and fought back, beating them until they howled. She'd barely made it out of the village when she ran into soldiers on patrol. When she got home, the younger sister of her childhood betrothed showed up, pointing at Li Jiu and cursing her, telling her to stop pestering her brother. Li Jiu went to find the leader and her betrothed. With everyone watching, she slapped the engagement contract down on the table. “I want to break off the engagement!” “I want to break off my engagement to Gu Jinnian!” Huo Xiao had a secret: he had fallen for a young woman. Unfortunately, she was engaged, so all he could do was keep his feelings hidden and stay away. Then the young woman broke off her engagement! Huo Xiao was overjoyed. He had a chance! He took people to the hospital every few days just to make himself familiar to her. But then! The young woman was set up on a blind date by her leader! The nerve! Huo Xiao stormed over to the leader. “I request permission to marry Comrade Li Jiu!” Gu Jinnian thought Li Jiu was breaking off their engagement as part of a game of playing hard to get. He was sure she'd soon come crawling back, begging him to marry her. He waited and waited, until Li Jiu became a doctor, then until news of her marriage came out. He couldn't sit still any longer and decided to steal her away from the wedding. A certain big shot showed up with his people. “I hear you're trying to steal my wife?”
