After I Called Off the Engagement, the Cold-Faced Officer Pinned Me Against the Wall and Begged Me to Take Him In

Nineties setting + pampered family darling + fiery little pepper + cold-faced army commander + face-slapping and scum-bashing + secret love turns into reality

Hao Laibao has been the apple of her family’s eye since she was a little girl.

But who could have imagined that at her engagement banquet, her scumbag fiancé would team up with outsiders to put her in her place, publicly producing an open denunciation letter that slandered her as a spoiled capitalist’s daughter with loose morals?

Overnight, she went from the beloved little treasure of the Hao family, envied by everyone, to a wicked villainess everyone wanted to see punished.

Furious, she swept her eyes across the room, grabbed the cold-faced army commander with the highest status from a corner, and announced loudly:

“This is the man of Hao Laibao!”

The whole room erupted. Everyone laughed at her, saying she was crazy to provoke that ruthless, women-avoiding living king of hell.

But no one expected that afterward, the commander wouldn’t get angry. Instead, he cornered her in an alley, the tips of his ears turning red as he asked in a low, earnest voice:

“Laibao, now that the engagement is off, when will you marry me?”

Hao Laibao was so frightened her soul nearly left her body, and she turned and ran.

While stationed at the border, Ji Zheng had fallen for the young woman dancing with the cultural troupe at first sight.

He did whatever it took to transfer back, just so he could be closer to her.

But he never expected that the next time he saw her would be at her engagement banquet.

With red-rimmed eyes, she clung tightly to his sleeve and asked him to stand up for her.

At that moment, Ji Zheng’s excitement was almost too much to contain.

But his rushed confession scared her.

She even cried and said she was just a stand-in for the white moonlight in his heart.

Ji Zheng laughed in exasperation, grabbed the back of her neck, and kissed her until she could barely breathe:

“A stand-in? The one I’ve never been able to forget, from the very beginning, has been you. Only you.”
