[Sharp-witted medical beauty × iron-blooded officer who dotes on his wife | Spatial revenge × mystery investigations | Face-slapping the wicked × island romance]
When Jiang Si died suddenly in the laboratory, she was still clutching that melodramatic period novel.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the eldest Miss Jiang of Shanghai, the girl in the book who was skinned alive and had her bones torn out.
Her scumbag father used her as a hostage to extort her mother, while her stepsister climbed over her to pursue the future richest man.
And the stern-faced officer whose engagement she had broken off in public would become the youngest rising star in the Southern Military Region ten years later.
“I’m going to marry you. That’s final.”
She smashed the jade pendant, emptied the secret vault, and set off for the island with the gold and antiques stored in her space. “Lu Huaizhou, I’m here to marry you.”
Everyone said a capitalist’s daughter couldn’t handle hardship, but then they saw her sketch a smuggler on a rainy night and remove an unexploded shell in the operating room. The stern-faced officer shucked oysters for her and wrapped her in his coat with warm huangjiu.
Then the munitions depot exploded, and Lu Huaizhou grabbed her. “Care to explain the Browning in your space?”
Jiang Si brushed the bullet scar on his back. “Why don’t you tell me first why your grandfather appeared in my family’s 1943 reunion photo?”
Later, at the military tribunal, she produced the yellowed marriage certificate from her space.
“You’re accusing my husband of treason? Why not look into how your own ancestor disappeared from Tokyo’s war-criminal list?”
