Gu Huaiwei unexpectedly transmigrated into a period novel as a doomed cannon-fodder character who didn’t even qualify as a minor female character.
According to the plot, she would soon die beneath the army officer Qin Feng. After her death, she’d be condemned as a capitalist’s daughter. Her only two uses were to bring Qin Feng down and “help out” her scumbag father’s family.
A wealthy mother who died young, a father who schemes for power, a stepmother sweet on the outside and vicious within, a stepsister who slept with her fiancé, and a half-brother who enjoyed bullying her.
What kind of catastrophic start was this?
Qin Feng was a promising young “academic” officer, rough around the edges and highly regarded, with a bright future ahead of him. But during a visit to Nan Province, he let his guard down and was framed, ultimately ending up before a military court. A rising star had fallen in an instant.
Pinned in a man’s arms as soon as she arrived, Gu Huaiwei quickly calmed down and assessed the situation.
“Comrade Qin, it seems we’ve both become pawns on someone else’s board. Rather than resent each other, I think working together is the better option. Do you need a wife in name only to avoid trouble down the line? I need a legitimate reason to leave here. We could make a contract…”
Unfortunately, Gu Huaiwei had no idea that life as a military spouse after their agreement wouldn’t be nearly as peaceful as she’d imagined.
A spy posing as a “best friend,” his first love reappearing, and awful relatives stirring up trouble…
Just as things were getting better between her and Qin Feng,
she faced impossible choices over identity, trust, the future, and family.
In the end, Gu Huaiwei’s heart went cold, and she left.
Two years passed...
When they met again, she could still make his heart race and his cheeks flush with ease, leaving him utterly at a loss…
