When the Shy Little Wife Cries, the Fierce Battalion Commander’s Heart Goes Soft

[Marriage First, Love Later + Rough Soldier Dotes on His Wife + Socially Anxious Heroine's Comeback + Height Difference]

Wen Nuo is a socially anxious web novelist who works herself to death meeting a deadline, then wakes up as Shen Nuo, a village girl who nearly drowned in the 1970s.

The first thing she sees is a fierce-looking face: Huo Tiezheng, a 190-centimeter-tall, iron-built company commander, giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Shen Nuo dies of embarrassment on the spot: [Help! He's so scary! So why do my knees feel weak?]

And things get even more mortifying when the whole village pressures them to marry, so the rough soldier takes her as his wife out of a sense of responsibility.

On their wedding night, the feared Huo Tiezheng sleeps on the floor, his ears bright red. "I won't touch you."

Shen Nuo nods obediently on the outside, while ranting in her head: [Won't touch me? Then why are you sneaking glances at me in the middle of the night? And you snore like a tractor!]

After she follows him to his post, Shen Nuo wins over the army camp with her cooking and secretly writes a novel to vent about him, My Rough-Hewn Husband. It unexpectedly becomes a hit.

Huo Tiezheng doesn't understand romance. He only knows how to show his love through actions: when she's afraid of meeting people, he shields her from every social engagement; when she has a fever, he stays by her side all night; when she's writing late into the night, the rough soldier quietly brings her brown sugar water and says in a husky voice, "Nuonuo, it's time to sleep."

Shen Nuo: [Who could resist that? Weren't you supposed to be a fierce, rough soldier? How did you end up with a voice like that?]

Then one day, she sees Huo Tiezheng's decisive, ruthless side while he's investigating a case, and her legs really do go weak.

The rough soldier pins her against the door, his breath hot. "Scared?"

Shen Nuo stammers, "N-no..."

"Then why are you crying?"

[I'm excited, okay? What do you know!]

The fierce-faced company commander murmurs coaxingly, "Nuonuo, open your mouth. Have some candy."

Shen Nuo: ...Is this candy innocent?
