[Delicate Beauty on the Outside × Thorny Rose on the Inside]
[Cold, Abstinent Military Officer × The Long Road to Winning His Wife Back]
Lin Wanwan, an orphan from the 21st century, transmigrates to the 1960s, where things are hellish from the start: she is kidnapped and sold.
To repay a kindness, she decisively marries a man she has never met and spends two years honoring her unseen husband's mother.
With a face that says “too frail to even look after herself,” she charms her fiery mother-in-law into treating her like her own daughter.
A pocket dimension in one hand, traditional arts and crafts in the other. Her life flourishes.
Li Hanchuan has been away for two years. When he finally returns, he arrives just in time for his mother’s funeral.
Watching the woman before the mourning hall, weeping like a rain-soaked flower and breathtakingly beautiful, he furrows his brows.
Rumors spread through the village. They say the woman is unfaithful, and even… that she caused his mother’s death.
“Save your tears. That act won’t work on me.” Li Hanchuan stands rigid in his military uniform, his tone carrying a soldier’s characteristic scrutiny and authority. “Now that you’ve married into the Li family, behave yourself.”
Wen Suisui lifts her tear-blurred face. Her voice is soft and sweet, but her words are sharp as a knife:
“Rest assured, Officer Li. I want neither you nor your money.”
“Once the mourning period is over, we can part on good terms. I won’t hold you back.”
Li Hanchuan thinks she is merely playing hard to get.
After she joins the army, Li Hanchuan waits for her to “seduce” him so he can catch her in the act.
But what he gets instead is
A dazzling performance at the army’s cultural showcase, stunning the entire audience.
An ancient remedy for wounds, so effective that the veteran military doctor begs to become her apprentice.
The art of geomancy, used to pinpoint locations and rescue trapped soldiers.
Late at night, the man corners her against the wall. Looking at that still-innocent, guileless face, he finally loses his composure: Wife, why haven’t you tried to seduce me yet?
