Transmigrated to 1957: General Cheng’s Beloved Wife

My new work is here! You're welcome to read it on Tomato Novel. I hope you enjoy it. Your support motivates me to write, and I'll do my best to tell every story well!

Everyone in the military region knows Colonel Cheng for three things: he fights hard, has a face as cold as King Yama, and is twenty-eight without a wife. Some say he has a secret ailment, others suspect he prefers men. His parents and superiors have urged him to marry year after year, to no avail. He always lets it go in one ear and out the other.

Then one day, he pulled a village girl from the river.

Soaked through, she huddled in his arms, her slender waist small enough to encircle with one arm, her body soft as a cloud. She timidly whispered, “Thank you,” and his heart skipped a beat. The notorious bachelor had finally fallen for someone.

From then on, Cheng Weiguo went all in on spoiling his wife, leaving the entire military region dumbfounded. He handed over his entire salary, nearly bought out the supply cooperative, and ate every last grain of his wife's leftovers. When his brother-in-law glared at him, he turned around and complained to his wife. His young wife looked delicate and soft, but she was a wonderful cook, had a voice that could make even battle-hardened men cry, and could write articles to earn royalties. Cheng Weiguo treasured her like a priceless gem and bragged about her to everyone. The whole military region was sick of watching him show off, and wailed, “Where did the cold-faced King Yama go?!”

When her former fiancé ran into Jiang Chuntang, he was struck as if by lightning. The woman he had personally rejected was now cherished like a priceless treasure.
