Period setting + punishing scumbags + military marriage + pocket dimension + medical skills + marriage first, love later + affection that grows over time
The brilliant surgeon Su Ruyi transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder capitalist heiress in the 1960s. She has no protector or powerful backer, only a grandfather who wants to grab her inheritance and a group of uncles and cousins eyeing her covetously.
With a delicate, willowy figure and a bewitchingly beautiful face, Ruyi is all alone in this difficult era. She gives as good as she gets, taking on one opponent or two at a time. Putting scumbags in their place is nothing to be afraid of.
But amid all the turmoil, finding someone to rely on is what really matters.
Fu Jinzhou has spent years in the army, with no time, energy, or inclination to think about marriage. Then his grandfather suddenly insists that he marry a daughter of the Su family.
Jinzhou has always hated trouble, especially a fussy capitalist heiress like Su Ruyi, who hits every one of his sore spots. But a man’s upbringing, sense of duty, and responsibility won’t let him leave her without protection, even if it puts his future at risk.
Su Ruyi can feel how distant and formal Fu Jinzhou is with her, and understands that he has no choice in the matter. She, too, once had a profound romance that ended before its time. They get along without disturbing each other, and she’s perfectly happy to let things continue that way.
With a home and someone to depend on, Su Ruyi can finally put her skills to use, saving lives and treating the injured. The island is isolated, and its medical care is limited, even severely outdated, so she gradually helps the community build a more complete healthcare system.
Day by day, without even realizing it, Fu Jinzhou’s heart begins to fall for her, until he’s completely unable to pull himself away. But his wife doesn’t seem to feel the same way!
What should he do with this heart that’s gone off course?
