I Told You to Flee the Famine, So Why Did You Win Over the Ice-Cold Officer?

Wen Ruosheng, a spoiled young heiress, loses her family and is forced to disguise herself as she flees, eventually arriving at a military camp in the northwest.

She has no legal documents, only a silver tongue, and manages to invent a fake identity for herself as “the newlywed country wife of Colonel Shen.”

Everyone in the military district knows that Colonel Shen, a famously cold and ruthless man, has only just returned from leave. There is no way he could suddenly have a wife.

Just as everyone is waiting to see this con artist hauled off to the Public Security Bureau, the man whose anger alone is enough to terrify people personally steps in and claims her fake story as true in front of the political commissar.

Wen Ruosheng follows him home in fear and trembling, swearing that she'll divorce him and leave as soon as the danger has passed, and that she won't drag him down with her.

She clumsily learns to make fires and cook, and recites her false identity flawlessly when questioned during the political background check.

But every night, she finds that the water vat is full, the coal has been chopped, and medicine for chilblains is always waiting by her bed.

Just as she establishes herself at the logistics station through her own efforts and prepares to leave now that her mission is accomplished, the man locks the door. “You used me and now you want to run? Is that what the Wen family taught you?”
