Military Marriage in the ’70s: Reading Minds to Tame the Cold-Faced Grim Reaper

Qiao Manman has awakened to the truth.

In her previous life, her ungrateful fiancé swindled her out of her survivor’s benefits. On the island, he tore up her referral letter, leaving her unregistered and to freeze to death.

Reborn in 1975, she sees the scumbag pulling the same old tricks and trying to turn the tables by having her sent to a labor camp.

Qiao Manman sneers. “Whoever wants that bastard can have him. I’m done putting up with this!”

Then she sets her sights on Qin Zhan, the island’s tall, handsome, cold-faced living Yama, whose family is pressuring him to marry.

Rumor has it that Commander Qin is iron-fisted and ruthless, and that… an injury has left him incapable of having children, a useless man who can’t produce an heir.

Needing the protection of a legal marriage, Qiao Manman makes her move at once. “Commander Qin, how about we get married? I’ve got it all figured out. I can even help you raise a child and keep the other women away.”

She thinks it will be a marriage of convenience, with both sides getting what they want. But then Qiao Manman unexpectedly gains the ability to read minds.

On the outside, she keeps her head down and quietly does her calculating, rooting out spies and cracking coded messages, then crushing the enemy.

But by Qin Zhan’s side, she’s forced to receive his unfiltered inner screams around the clock!

On the surface, Qin Zhan is cold as ice. “Qiao Manman, mind your conduct as a military spouse. Men and women should keep their distance. Move over.”

But inside, Qin Zhan is shouting like a madman:

[This is killing me! My wife is so soft and smells so good! One more cuddle and I’m going to lose my mind!]

[Who the hell started the rumor that I can’t perform? I’m throwing that little brat out tonight!]

[I’d give her my life! She can have every penny of my pay! Anyone who messes with my wife is dead!]

Qiao Manman: …So much for being cold and chaste! He’s clearly a hopeless romantic, a purehearted giant puppy!
