[Period Setting + Sweet Romance + Marriage First, Love Later + Light Comedy]
“My dad told me to come find you.”
“Come inside first. It’s windy out there.”
Tang Yaomei spends four days on trains, traveling all the way from Chengdu to the Gobi in the northwest, just to find “Tieshanwa,” the man her father mentioned before he died. She never imagined that Tieshanwa would now be Han Tieshan, the famously stern battalion commander in the military district. Nor did she expect that when she said she’d come to “seek refuge” with him, all the wives in the compound would take it to mean she was his sweetheart.
They agree she’ll stay for a year, then leave once she’s settled in. But one jar of her doubanjiang feeds the whole regiment, and one sharp tongue sends the troupe’s star running. She even teaches him a phrase in her Chengdu dialect, which he can barely understand: “Yao de, yao de.”
When her stepmother comes to demand a bride price and take her away, he steps in front of her. “She’s my wife. Come to me for the bride price.”
A year passes, but she doesn’t pack her things. “I’m not leaving.”
He has a letter her father wrote, with words on the back too. He reads it all night but doesn’t dare tell her.
“Han Tieshan, you really are something special.”
“Something special… what does that mean?”
The most annoying thing is that the heroine's stepmother dragged the heroine's father to death but there was no punishment!!! Still so arrogant!
