The Sweet Girl of the 1980s Won't Leave, and Her Officer Husband Is So Clingy

[Period setting + mistaken bride + genius doctor + aloof military officer + sweet romance and face-slapping + life with the army]

Modern genius military doctor Qiao Wanwan was born into the 1980s and became the only treasured darling of the Qiao family for three generations.

She had a smooth childhood and got into medical school with ease. She thought a bright future lay ahead, but just after receiving her diploma, her world came crashing down. She was an unmarried young woman, yet somehow she was already a married woman who’d tied the knot two years earlier?!

It turned out her awful cousin Qiao Jiaojiao was jealous of her. She stole the household registration booklet and used it to marry the “Living Yama,” military officer Lu Lixing, stationed at a freezing border outpost. But her cousin couldn’t stand the bitter cold, and died in an accidental drowning while eloping with a sent-down youth. The burden of that military marriage landed squarely on Qiao Wanwan!

To protect her bright future, Qiao Wanwan promptly bought a hard-seat train ticket, wrapped herself in a thick padded coat, and headed for the snowy northern military district, determined to get a divorce certificate from the husband she’d never met.

Lu Lixing, stationed in the snowy wilderness, assumed the woman his family had foisted on him would be an illiterate, tantrum-throwing country bumpkin, so he planned to keep her at arm’s length.

Then one day, a cool beauty with fair skin, a lovely face, and a calm manner stood before him. With nothing but her silver needles, she had snatched his comrade back from death. Now she was holding out divorce papers.

Lu Lixing’s eyes reddened as he tore up the papers and wrapped her tightly in his arms. “Military marriages aren’t easy to dissolve. You’re not just my wife joining me at the post, you’re also the whole district’s miracle doctor. You’re not going anywhere!”

Qiao Wanwan sneered. “I thought you were supposed to be the cold-blooded Living Yama?”

Lu Lixing held her even tighter. “Even the Yama’s afraid his wife will run off! Honey, let me cuddle you!”
