After Marrying a Rough Northeastern Man Ten Years My Senior, I’m Loving It

[Period drama] [Age gap] [Devoted husband] [Everyday struggles] [A little flirtation]

In her previous life, Su Tang was drained dry by her biased stepfather and selfish stepsister, and eventually worked herself to death.

Reborn in the 1970s, she sees her awful family preparing to send her to the countryside to die. Su Tang turns on her heel and clings to the stern battalion commander stationed nearby, who is ten years her senior.

Lu Yan, 28, is a third-class merit recipient. He has his own detached bungalow, a hard, cold personality, and a reputation for having no interest in women.

Everyone in the compound expects to laugh as this spoiled young intellectual, with no household registration or job, gets the cold shoulder.

But no one expects what happens after the wedding...

At dawn, the usually stern Commander Lu awkwardly fries an egg for his wife in the kitchen.

Late at night, the man who had sworn to keep his distance and sleep at the edge of the kang pulls her into his arms when the cold wind blows in. In a low voice, he says, “Wife, come closer. It's warmer.”

Su Tang had planned to coast through the changing times by relying on her powerful husband, but thanks to what she knows from her previous life, she gets ahead by applying for opportunities early and claiming the best spots. Before long, she becomes one of the richest women in the city.

Her awful stepsister envies her and comes looking for a share, but Commander Lu blocks the door. “What does the money my wife earns have to do with you? Keep pestering us and I'll send you straight to the security office for a political-background check.”

Su Tang looks at the rough, fatherly man beside her, cold on the outside but warm within, and rubs her aching back with a sigh. Having such a strong man to lean on is great, but he's got so much energy that it's hard on her back.
