A 1970s Military Marriage: My Rugged Husband Suddenly Gets the Hint

[Sultry charmer x rugged, chaste soldier] Jiang Ruan Ruan transmigrates into a book set in the 1970s and becomes a beautiful doctor, only to discover when she goes to register her marriage that she's already been “married” for five years! Her cousin stole her identity and married Huo Zheng, a decorated soldier stationed in the snowy frontier, nicknamed the “Living Yama.” The woman posing as her made his life miserable, then ran off with another man and died? Jiang Ruan Ruan sees black. She sets off for the border overnight. This marriage has to end!

Huo Zheng is a glacier on the border, and he despises women who are unfaithful. When his “dead” wife appears alive before him, red-eyed and demanding a divorce, he assumes she's playing hard to get. But this woman is impossibly delicate. One night, while she bathes, water patters behind the door as he keeps watch outside. To his astonishment, he tastes the metallic tang of blood at the tip of his nose. He fastens the buttons that have come undone on her back, his knuckles accidentally brushing her delicate shoulder blades. They both go rigid. One night, she hands him the divorce papers. Bath steam hangs around her slender waist, so pale it almost dazzles him. His Adam's apple bobs. He tears the papers to shreds and pins her between his arms and the wall, his warm breath brushing the crown of her head. “Ruan Ruan, you came to me yourself. Want to leave? Ask my belt if it'll let you.”
