The Tough Guy’s Darling: Reborn as a Spicy Little Pepper in the 1970s

A flirtatious beauty who loves tormenting scumbags vs. a tsundere, secretly devoted husband

In 1977, the stunning Lin Zhiyi opened her eyes in her new life only to find her mother pressuring her to marry an abusive scumbag. Seizing her chance, she gave the rugged military officer Shen Tingbai, who had temporarily stepped away from the front lines, a sultry glance and charmed him into a contract marriage that would offer her protection. Little did she know that this secretly devoted officer might complain about her being a “little temptress,” but he'd turn around and tear into her awful relatives and kick her abusive ex to the curb, wearing his “devoted husband” status like a badge of honor. With the help of her System and golden finger, Lin Zhiyi breezes through life, becoming a substitute teacher and then a businesswoman, all while being gorgeous and irresistible. Shen Tingbai goes from reluctantly accepting her to doting on her for real, and their eight-year age gap turns into the sweetest kind of devotion. Scumbags get what they deserve without delay, misunderstandings are cleared up in a flash, and this Marriage Before Love between a captivating beauty and a rugged officer in a military family compound of the 1970s is sweet enough to make your teeth ache and fiery enough to set the world ablaze!
