[A strong female lead in a sweet-girl disguise * A rough-edged man with a doting, fatherly heart]
(Period setting + sweet romance + pocket dimension + wild, rugged man + doting boyfriend + sweet, delicate girl + age gap + comeback + both devoted to each other + two strong leads)
Cheng Yan had always scoffed at love at first sight, believing it was just a flattering way to describe falling for someone’s looks.
But one day in a damp alley, he came across a young woman being harassed by thugs. Her white blouse was smeared with mud, but she still looked pure and sweet.
When she glanced up, her beautiful, foxlike eyes flicked toward him. A faint pink tinged their corners, giving her an alluring air she seemed unaware of.
That one glance made Cheng Yan’s heart stop and his breathing turn ragged. He threw every principle aside, thinking only of catching her, coaxing her, and keeping her by his side with endless affection, weaving an exquisite net she would never be able to escape.
Gu Niannian transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder character. To save her life, she snatches the female lead’s golden finger, only to fall into the gentle trap set by the rugged Cheng Yan.
After they marry, he turns into a clingy cuddle addict and spoils her like a treasure in the palm of his hand.
It is only after joining him at his military post that Gu Niannian learns about Cheng Yan’s special mission as a soldier and understands his occasional silences and sudden departures.
But happiness is fleeting. When she learns that Cheng Yan died on a mission, Gu Niannian’s life gradually strays from its original course, while also opening the door to a new life of freedom and splendor.
It's very interesting, I look forward to the author's next novel.
