The Cunning Bride of the Seventies: Marry an Officer and Win at Life

(Period drama + military marriage + love grows over time + self-interested heroine)

Though Su Qingwan was born in the countryside, she was the family’s most precious treasure, with two older brothers who doted on her and parents who adored her. She never had to work in the fields after graduating from high school, and she had only one thing on her mind.

Escape her rural roots and put down roots in the city.

At her second brother’s wedding, she spotted Lu Jingyan, a guest who had come to celebrate. He had a Beijing household registration and was a full regiment commander. His only flaw was that he already had a prospective match.

Everyone urged her to behave, but Su Qingwan only sneered. Would behaving get her an urban household registration? Would it spare her from spending her life bent over in the fields?

For the sake of her future, she ruthlessly set him up. After one night together, Lu Jingyan was forced to marry a country girl like her.

The man’s gaze was cold as ice. “Su Qingwan, you schemed against me. You won’t get away with it.”

Su Qingwan nestled against him and smiled, gentle but calculating. “Comrade Lu, if it gets me into the city, what does a little price matter?”

After the wedding, she took her household registration to the city, found a job, started side businesses, and built up her savings. Those who had once looked down on her grew green with envy. Even the man who had been full of contempt for her gradually lost his heart and spoiled her until she became the most envied young wife in the city.

Su Qingwan looked at the money in her pockets and the husband who cherished her.

So what if she’d schemed her way into marriage? She seized her opportunity and still became a winner in life!
