The Eighties: My Ex-Husband's Officer Uncle Kisses Me Until I Blush

(Military marriage + period setting + wealthy landlord’s daughter vs. stern, handsome military officer betrothed to her since childhood)

At eighteen, Lin Nian has skin like jade and a curvy figure. Her stepmother calls her a vixen who preys on men’s souls.

Lin Nian rolls up her sleeves and gives her stepmother a thorough beating, gets her adoptive father sent to prison, then promptly empties out the family home.

The next day, two men in military uniforms show up, claiming to be her childhood betrothals and telling her to choose one.

“I choose him.”

Lin Nian points at the stone-faced officer.

“Are you sure?”

The man raises an eyebrow.

…

The mighty General Lu has been troubled lately. His fiancée, seven years younger than him, clings to him constantly, always asking for kisses and cuddles.

“Stand up straight.”

The young woman keeps throwing herself into his arms, and the mighty General Lu can’t take it.

“Why are you always scolding me? I’m your girlfriend, not one of your soldiers.”

Pouting, the young woman teases him. “Be good and let me kiss you.”

“Lin Nian!”

“You’re being mean to me again.”

“I’m never speaking to you again.”

“Suit yourself.”

The mighty General Lu turns away with a flourish.

The next day, he sees the young woman on a blind date and, for the first time, the iron-willed General Lu’s eyes turn red with anger.

“Wifey, I was wrong.”

“Hmph!”

“All right, don’t be mad.”

“Sleep with me tonight.”

“Let’s get our marriage license first. After that, you can do whatever you want.”

“Get lost!”

In her previous life, Lin Nian married the wrong man and suffered for half her life at the hands of her evil mother-in-law. She had completely lost faith in marriage.

After being reborn, Lin Nian swears she’ll date but never marry.

But as their relationship progresses, she realizes that not only has the older man sweet-talked her into getting a marriage license, she’s pregnant too.

Watching his young aunt’s belly grow day by day, Ji Shaoan remembers everything from his previous life. His eyes redden, and for the first time, he understands what regret feels like.
