Reborn, I Only Want to Join the Army

"Reborn and Ready to Follow Him into the Army" Recommended Blurb:

In her previous life, she was trapped in a remote village. She watched her husband leave for the frontier, spent half her life alone in an empty home, and was rewarded with a notice of his death and her in-laws’ cruelty. The smoke from the wood-burning stove yellowed her fingertips and blurred her earliest memories of love.

Reborn, she stands at the crossroads of fate. Gazing at the young man before her, still green but firm-eyed, she resolutely tears up the letter that would have kept them apart. In this life, she wants no more yearning for someone far away, no more struggles borne alone. She wants only to pack her bags and follow him to the windswept frontier.

Life in the army camp may be hard. They live in humble earthen huts and eat coarse rice mixed with sand, but with him by her side, even the coldest night has a warm stove, and even the hardest days hold something to look forward to. She learns to read and sew, and to grow vegetables in the Gobi Desert. She keeps their little home in perfect order and becomes his strongest support.

There are no household intrigues or contrived misunderstandings, only two people standing by each other through years of war. When the bugle sounds, he defends his country while she waits by the lamplight for his return. This time, she will make up for all her regrets and spend a lifetime proving that the best kind of love is going through mountains and seas together, even when the road is rough.
