An '80s Army Doctor Cuts Ties with Her Family and Sets Her Sights on the Chaste Regiment Commander

In her previous life, Jiang Ning was a human blood bank. Her parents drained her bone marrow to pay for her younger brother’s wedding home. Reborn in the 1980s, the first thing she does is sign up for a border-relief assignment, determined to sever her family ties once and for all.

Everyone in the compound laughs at her for being foolish. Why leave the city to go eat sand? But she turns around and walks straight into Lu Yanzhou’s arms. He’s known along the border as the “Living King of Hell,” a man who knows how to kill enemies but nothing about romance. His shirt is always buttoned right up to the collar.

When they first meet, he warns her coldly, “Stay away from me. This is a battlefield.”

Later, after the operating room lights go out, Jiang Ning has only just taken off her gloves when he corners her in the sterilization room. His eyes are red at the corners, and his voice is hoarse. “Doctor Jiang, my wound hurts. You’ll have to blow on it yourself.”
