My 1970S Bride Wants to Be a Widow, but the Mind-Reading Commander Is Swept Off His Feet

[Period setting + military marriage + mind-reading + play the pig to eat the tiger + two powerful leads + high-stakes romance] A laid-back, playful female doctor versus a scheming commanding officer who talks himself into falling for her After transmigrating to the 1970s, Jiang Mian was forced to take her older sister’s place and marry Huo Jingchuan, the notorious “Living Yama” of the military compound: a foul-tempered man with disabled legs. Everyone in the compound waited to see her suffer and become a widow in all but name. Jiang Mian put on a tearful, trembling act. “Brother Jingchuan, I’m not afraid of hardship. As long as I can take care of you, I’ll do anything for you!” But a cheerful, brazen voice rang out in Huo Jingchuan’s mind: [Being crippled is great! I don’t have to fulfill my marital duties, and I’ll get a generous stipend! Once I outlive you, I’ll take the compensation money, go to college, keep myself a pretty young man, and live the high life!] Huo Jingchuan: “...???” She wants to be a widow? She wants to use my money to keep a pretty boy? Dream on! [Mini-scene 1] Jiang Mian massaged his thigh with tender affection. “Darling, is the pressure right? I feel so bad for you.” Her thoughts: [These muscles are so firm. They feel great. Too bad he’s useless. I should stick a couple of needles in him to make him sleep like a log, then sneak off to the pocket dimension and eat without sharing!] Huo Jingchuan gritted his teeth and grabbed her by the waist. “You’re not pressing hard enough. Didn’t you eat dinner? Keep going!” [Mini-scene 2] When a romantic rival provoked her, Jiang Mian hid behind Huo Jingchuan and whimpered. Her thoughts: [One needle from me and you’ll be paralyzed! Huo the Yama, get over here and bite her to death!] Huo Jingchuan sneered and immediately dispatched his men, crushing the rival completely. “My wife is timid. Who dares scare her?” [Heads-up: The male lead can read minds at first, but later they fall for each other. The heroine is clear-headed and focused on building her career, and the male lead is head over heels for her! No sweetness, no charge!]
