Reborn in the 1970s, Su Wan, the “good girl” from a water town in southern China, starts by tearing into her greedy, exploitative relatives and taking back everything that belongs to her.
To break free from their harassment for good, she calls the man she missed out on in her previous life.
The man’s voice on the other end is low and hoarse, carrying an undeniable pressure. “Are you sure you’ve thought this through? There’s no changing your mind once you’re with me.”
Su Wan grips the phone receiver. Her soft voice trembles slightly, but her resolve is clear. “I…I’ve made up my mind.”
Later, the man carries Su Wan all the way from the water towns of Jiangnan to the bitterly cold northern military district.
In public, he is Lu Changfeng, the dreaded “Living Yama,” a stern and iron-blooded officer who has renounced desire.
In private, he holds his petite sweetheart close, rubbing his rough fingertips over the corners of her reddened eyes. His voice husky, he murmurs, “Wanwan, call me ‘hubby’ again. I’d give you my life.”
