[1970s Military Marriage + Side Character Awakens + Husband’s Groveling Redemption + Sweet Romance]

[Clear-Eyed Home Cook vs. Tough-Talking, Soft-Hearted “Living Yama”]

She transmigrates into a period novel as a supporting character who’s a spy, and is supposed to be executed by firing squad on her wedding night? The moment Ye Xi opens her eyes, she realizes the plot has gone off the rails! Her iron-willed husband’s body is still burning beneath her, and last night’s passionate embrace has left her feeling like her bones are coming apart. But then the “Living Yama” pulls on his uniform and stares at her coldly as he locks her up. “Who’s your handler?”

This is bad. Not only has she slept with the man who’s supposed to arrest her, she’s become his prime suspect!

To protect herself, Ye Xi puts her acting skills to work, playing an innocent, delicate flower who’s been frightened out of her wits. By day, she sniffles, “Honey, I’m scared...”

At night, she rolls up her sleeves and cooks braised pork so delicious that the iron-willed man eats three extra bowls of rice. She keeps the household running smoothly while putting one troublesome person after another in their place.

Watching his little wife cry and carry on in public, then make a thriving life for them at home, Huo Mingyuan is baffled. “I thought she was a spy. How come she’s... kind of cute?”

He says, “Behave yourself,” but secretly buys her medicine, stands up for her, and even hands over his entire paycheck!

Then, at the festival, she stuns everyone with a song, and he finally realizes he’s already fallen for her.

Later, the “Living Yama” holds her close, his eyes red-rimmed. “Honey, I was wrong. Please don’t leave me!”
