The Capitalist's Daughter Marries Up, Then Becomes the Island Army's Darling

[Military marriage + transmigrates into a book + male lead falls in love at first sight + all-capable heroine + taciturn, secretly flirtatious officer who talks himself into loving her and has a mad streak + a breathtakingly beautiful capitalist heiress]

Pei Yuheng is a born star, admired by everyone from a young age. He always thought Xia Tang was trying to climb the social ladder through him, never expecting her to turn around and start dating his cousin.

…

Xia Tang made the trending searches at twelve because of a blurry photo, becoming a go-to reference for beauty and inspiration. She herself, however, was absorbed in her research. Who could have guessed that she would wake up one day as a capitalist heiress in a novel set in a bygone era?

In the book, the original heiress is used and discarded by her reborn fiancé because of her capitalist background. He reports her and has her sent to the countryside, where she dies in hardship during childbirth.

After Xia Tang arrives, she first gives them a beating, then finds a way to get them sent to the countryside.

What should she do if her identity as a capitalist heiress might be exposed? Xia Tang attends a dance and goes straight for a professor's son, planning to keep working on her research.

Just as she is about to make progress, a man grabs her wrist.

She turns around. Pei Yuheng stares at her with dark, brooding eyes. “You flirt with me on purpose, then go after someone else?!”

“You've got it wrong.” From the first time Xia Tang saw him, she thought he seemed dangerous and hard to control. She had never intended to get involved with him.

“I'm the only one who dares protect you right now.” Pei Yuheng stares into her eyes and lays out his bait.

“But I'm with your cousin now.”

“He can't protect you.”
