Cherished Golden Branch

Su Nanzhi transmigrated into a book and became the male lead’s doomed first love in an 1980s novel. While fleeing for her life, she happened upon a mute army officer with amnesia. When she learned he was the heroine’s doomed first love and most powerful backer, she immediately latched onto him. At first, Gu Xiuyan saw Su Nanzhi as just a child and wanted nothing more than to lovingly raise the little girl who had once saved his life. He never expected her to be so outstanding and lovable that she would set Kyoto abuzz, drawing more and more admirers and suitors. Steady and dependable Su: Zhizhi, if I could, I truly wish you weren’t my sister! Edgy young master Chu: Woman, you’ve caught my attention! Brooding second brother Gu: Zhizhi, if my brother can, why can’t I?! Everyone else, men and women alike: Get in line! Get in line! Gu Xiuyan realized far too late what was going on and panicked. That very night, he submitted an application to marry her. “All of you, get lost! I’m the only one who’s legally allowed! Breaking up a military marriage is against the law!” She was the rose he had lovingly raised with his own hands. No one but him could pluck her, unless he was dead! [A sunny heroine who has suffered but remains resilient, cheerful, and self-reliant VS a military officer who is cold and stern to others but utterly obedient to her, with a striking contrast between the two sides] The influential Gu family of Kyoto had originally wanted to repay Su Nanzhi for saving their lives. Before long, the whole family was fiercely doting on her and taking her side, and even their sworn enemy was happy to become her sidekick. “Anyone who tries to steal Zhizhi from us will have to get through us first!” “What? She’s Zhizhi’s biological father? And the richest man in the country? Doesn’t matter, still not happening!” [Everyone’s darling + healing story + satisfying read + two powerful leads + period novel + military marriage + love that grows over time + sweet romance + one-on-one romance + age gap + real and fake heiresses]
