Synopsis

In 1983, the peaceful military compound erupted into chaos. Shen Fang, the only son of the military district chief of staff and notorious as “the biggest playboy in the capital,” was cornered at the mouth of an alley by a woman holding a child. In front of all his childhood friends, she slapped him hard across the face. The woman wore a faded floral shirt and Liberation shoes, with a long knife wrapped in cloth across her back and a two-year-old girl in her arms. Her eyes and brows looked exactly like Shen Fang’s. She was Jiang Zhuo, known as the “Little King of Hell of Southern Yunnan,” a notorious ruthless figure in the Miao borderlands. Three years earlier, Shen Fang had gone to Yunnan on a special mission and been caught in danger. He and Jiang Zhuo had formed a bond forged through life and death, but lost contact once the mission ended. Now Jiang Zhuo had come straight to his door and thrust the child at him. “Your daughter. You raise her.” The incident enraged Chief of Staff Shen, but Shen Fang’s mother was delighted. She immediately invited Jiang Zhuo to stay, and from then on the compound knew no peace. Jiang Zhuo was quick and capable, easily dealing with Shen Fang’s riffraff friends. When the military wives gossiped about her, she silenced them with just a few sharp words. At first, Shen Fang only wanted to get rid of her. But he gradually realized that Jiang Zhuo hadn’t come to the capital just to deliver a child. She held crucial evidence about border smuggling and arms deals, and had come to exact revenge. The person she was after was the mastermind responsible for the death of Shen Fang’s comrade. Shen Fang seemed carefree and irreverent, but he had long carried the guilt of his comrade’s death and secretly wanted revenge. With their goals aligned, the two went from clashing at every turn to fighting side by side.

Period Novels Worth Rereading Again and Again

Looking for books like *Help! Twins, a Special Constitution, and the Big Shot's Unceasing Affection!* I want a simple, peaceful life, without melodramatic family drama. I especially love it when the leads chat with the villagers about everyday family matters. No golden finger, no pocket dimension. It's insanely good.
