The 1970s: I Marry Into the Mountains, and My Rugged Husband Is a War Hero

[One-on-one romance + devoted couple with no past entanglements + rugged military hero + runaway bride + mystery and spy intrigue]

Zhao Zhaodi's cruel stepmother forced her to marry the town's tyrannical butcher. While fleeing, she wandered into a forbidden area deep in the mountains and stumbled upon Yan Tuo, the reclusive hunter rumored to be "fiercer than a beast."

She thought she was walking straight into a tiger's jaws. Little did she know she'd trespassed into a lone wolf's territory, only for him to carry her back to his den and pamper her.

When they first met, she was shivering in the snow. He frowned and called her "as clumsy as a bear," yet when they reached a steep slope, he lifted her up with one arm and pulled his oversized padded pants over her.

As they grew closer, he taught her to hunt and helped her evade the search parties. His rough, warm hand covered her frozen one, and her heart skipped a beat.

When danger struck, he sent a vicious dog flying with one punch. When a conspiracy was exposed, he shielded her from a bullet with his own chest. Like a god of war, he carved a bloody path through the endless snowy wilderness.

Zhao Zhaodi thought she'd simply picked up a rugged hunter covered in scars, until one day she accidentally opened his hidden metal box.

Inside lay a first-class military merit medal and a photograph of her father from before he died.

It turned out he wasn't a deserter, but the "Lone Wolf," a special forces company commander who had once struck terror into the enemy.

It turned out he'd been living in seclusion deep in the mountains for three years, all to protect the daughter of the man who had once saved his life and uncover the shocking conspiracy that had led to her father's death.
