Joining the Army with My Child! The Rough-Hewn Soldier Won't Leave Me Alone!

(1970s military romance + transmigration into a book + slow-burn love + contrasting couples + raising a child + sweet romance + rugged hero + marriage before love)

Gu Jinbei is a battle-hardened regiment commander with a string of military honors. He keeps women at a distance and is the coldest man in the entire military district.

No one expected him to return from a mission with a country widow and her child in tow.

The entire military compound watched for a laugh, betting on when the Gu family would throw the woman out.

Gu Jinbei’s sister humiliated her in public: “A woman like you thinks you’re fit to marry into our family?”

Gu Jinbei shielded his wife and daughter, his voice icy. “Call her Sister-in-law, or get out!”

Gu Jinbei’s mother was demanding and constantly found fault with her, never approving of her.

But then Shen Ruo won over the whole family with one meal, and the next day her cold, aloof mother-in-law was scrambling to bring her an imported oven!

Everyone said Shen Ruo had struck it lucky, but no one knew that late at night, the iron-willed man would awkwardly sand a dressing table for her, sulk because she shared some dumplings with someone else, and hold her in his arms, voice hoarse as he asked for a kiss.

“Shen Ruo, you’ll never escape me in this lifetime.”
