Delicate beauty VS abstinent, fatherly military officer
[1970s + pampered local heroine + age and height difference + sweet romance and everyday life + romantic tension + no golden finger, pocket dimension, or transmigration + romance-focused, with less emphasis on career]
When Xia Zhi arrives at her fiancé’s base, she discovers he has been avoiding her and doesn’t want to marry her. Everyone in the compound laughs at her, calling her a woman who’s been abandoned.
But Xia Zhi doesn’t care. If her fiancé won’t do, then his father will. She has to marry someone, after all. And besides, her fiancé’s dad is pretty handsome: tall, dashing, and strong...
Just as everyone expects Xia Zhi to run home in tears, she publicly announces that she’ll marry her fiancé’s father, Lu Jingye, the head of the military region and its fearsome “Living King of Hell.” Everyone at the base is left speechless.
After being reborn, Xia Xuwei’s first move is to steal Xia Zhi’s husband.
In her previous life, Xia Zhi was inferior to her in every way, from her figure to her looks, yet she had such an easy life, never worrying about food or clothes. Meanwhile, Xia Xuwei fretted over everyday necessities until she developed wrinkles around her eyes at a young age.
In this life, she’s determined to take Xia Zhi’s place and enjoy a life with a man to care for her and no worries about food or clothes.
What Xia Xuwei doesn’t know is that in her previous life, Xia Zhi lived like a widow despite being married.
This time, Xia Xuwei steals Xia Zhi’s husband, convinced that Xia Zhi will have a worse life than before. But to her surprise, Xia Zhi is better off than ever. The man rumored to shun women and be cold-hearted, the Living King of Hell himself, holds her in his arms and cherishes her like his life...
Wasn’t the commander supposed to be infertile? How is Xia Zhi showing with child, and carrying triplets, no less?
