A sweet, gentle heroine × a gruff military officer who is cold on the outside but warm within, no golden finger, extra-sweet romance
The moment Ruan Susu opened her eyes, she saw earthen walls, a tattered kang mat, and an old woman standing with her hands on her hips, yelling.
“You little wretch! You’ve been jilted twice and still have the nerve to stay alive? Tomorrow I’ll marry you off to that old bachelor up the back hill in exchange for bride money!”
The original owner’s memories flooded in. She had transmigrated and become Ruan Susu, a timid, short-lived village girl from the 1980s who shared her name.
The original Ruan Susu had been deceived by a scumbag, mistreated by her grandmother, and died of illness before she was even twenty. She had met a miserable end, and the new Ruan Susu wanted to cry even more…
Just then, a deep, stern male voice came from outside the courtyard gate.
“Grandma Ruan, I’m here to take her.”
A man stood in the doorway in a military-green uniform. Broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with features as sharply carved as a blade, he had a commanding presence.
The most famous, fearsome, and untouchable military instructor in the area: Lu Zhanting.
The old woman immediately cowered. “I-Instructor Lu? What brings you here…?”
Lu Zhanting’s gaze fell on the pale, red-eyed girl sitting on the kang. His voice was low and solemn, yet carried an undeniable force.
“I’ve come to marry her.”
Ruan Susu jerked her head up.
Sunlight fell across the man. He was like a solid mountain, catching her just as she had nowhere else to go.
Five-star reviews, super nice
