[Military marriage in the 1970s + Beauty Transformation System] [Clear-headed, pampered beauty + stone-faced officer who actually speaks up]
Su Wan opened her eyes and found herself a pampered young woman in a period novel, pushed forward by her relatives to take her cousin’s place in an arranged marriage.
The original owner was both foolish and timid. Her relatives sweet-talked her into taking the blame for her cousin, and she ended up disgraced and without a place to live.
Standing before her was Shen Yan, rumored to be cold and unapproachable, a man no one in the entire military district dared cross.
When the marriage application was presented, Su Wan put a hand on it first.
“I can marry you, but I have some rules: I won’t wait on your whole family, we need to be clear about the household finances, and if anyone bullies me, you stand up for me.”
Everyone waited to see her get thrown out.
Shen Yan looked at her. “Anything else?”
Su Wan said, “That’s all for now.”
That very day, Shen Yan put away the letter of introduction himself and took her to register for housing.
The next day, coal coupons, a thermos, a door lock, and living expenses were delivered to her, all without fail.
[Mischief-to-Beauty System successfully bound.]
[Stand up for fair treatment: reward, increased beauty.]
[Refuse to be taken advantage of: reward, household supplies.]
Su Wan had planned to use the marriage to settle into a quiet life, while dealing with everyone who tried to walk all over her.
She never expected Shen Yan to take the marriage even more seriously than she did.
When she said she was cold, he lit the stove for her.
When she said she didn’t like people making decisions for her, he asked, “Is this what you want?” before doing anything.
When she casually mentioned wanting someone to back her up, Shen Yan went straight to the political office to complete their marriage application.
Gradually, the people in the family compound realized that the stone-faced officer hadn’t married himself a burden.
He had made Su Wan one of his own.
