Zhou Xinyao became pregnant before marriage, a serious scandal that could ruin her reputation! With an introduction from a fellow villager, she set off alone for the south, clutching a train ticket to Shencheng, and became a nanny for a wealthy local family.
Her employer was an elderly woman said to have a strange temper and be difficult to please.
Zhou Xinyao didn't find the old woman difficult to serve. What scared her and made her want to avoid him was the old woman's grandson, a military officer who came home from time to time.
It all began one drunken night. Zhou Xinyao accidentally wandered into his room, where the man's burning-hot chest pinned her against the wardrobe. She was terrified.
“Commander Fu, I really wasn't trying to seduce you...”
Fu Jingcheng looked down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing. “I'm the one who wants you. This isn't your fault.”

Fu Jingcheng had the word “discipline” etched into his bones from childhood.
But he never imagined he would one day fall for a woman, and more than once.
Years later, Zhou Xinyao returned home.
No one could have guessed that Yaoya, the girl they'd known back then, would become an officer's wife and a wealthy woman in the provincial capital!
Her stepsister watched her acting so intimately with Fu Jingcheng and went mad with jealousy. “Commander Fu! She has an illegitimate child! She's done disgraceful things!”
Fu Jingcheng gave her a cold look. “An illegitimate child? You mean my own eldest son?”
P.S.
1. How did the child come to be? In the 1970s, the male lead was sent down to work in a cowshed, where the veterinarian gave him the wrong medicine. The heroine was also framed by a thug from her village. The child came from an accident. The male lead returned to the city soon afterward and didn't know about it. That's all I can explain. (There was no coercion.)
2. The heroine is reborn and changes her fate. She's a local, not someone who transmigrated, and she's not especially strong. (If that's not your thing, don't force yourself to read it.)
