A 1970s Military Marriage: The Tough Commander’s Sweet, Soft Wife

Su Ruanruan transmigrated into the seventies as the pampered young educated youth who “couldn't do a thing right, but could always eat more.”

Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she listened to her best friend's advice and crept out in the middle of the night to climb into the bed of the village accountant's second brother. “Ruanruan, my second brother is refined. Marry him and you'll live in comfort!”

The next morning, Su Ruanruan's legs trembled as she stared at the muscular, scar-covered man beside her. She was so frightened she couldn't make a sound.

Oh no! She'd gotten the wrong man! This wasn't the refined second brother. It was the terrifying older brother, Gu Zheng, home on leave!

The whole village was waiting for a laugh. “Gu Zheng can kill a cow with one punch. Won't he crush little Su to pieces?”

Her best friend wept as if her heart were breaking. “The eldest brother is cold and ruthless. Ruanruan, you're going to be a widow in all but name!”

But on their wedding night, the bed collapsed. After she joined the army, Su Ruanruan not only avoided being beaten, but was also pampered by the fearsome man, who doted on her and coaxed her sweetly.

Gu Zheng: “Your hands are so delicate, sweetheart. Don't touch cold water.”

Gu Zheng: “Your waist is so soft, sweetheart. Let's get a thicker mattress.”

Everyone's jaws dropped. Where was the supposedly ferocious eldest brother? This man was a total wife-spoiler!
