[She is chaste, and so is he; marriage first, love later]
A down-and-out professor’s gifted, orphaned daughter VS a reserved, ascetic military commander
Shen Chuyue, a wealthy heiress in the modern era, transmigrates by accident, only to find herself caught in a horrific car crash.
She becomes the daughter of a disgraced professor who was sent to the countryside in the 1970s. As it happens, Lu Heng, a noble and aloof military prodigy from a prestigious family, is also injured in the crash.
Three years earlier, before her father died of illness, he arranged for her to marry Zhao Shuhuan, her childhood betrothed, so she would have someone to rely on. Everyone said her husband was upright and had a bright future in the military. But their marriage existed in name only. She spent three years enduring life in the countryside with her elderly mother. Just when she was finally able to move to the city and reunite with her husband, Zhao Xiaoyu, the Zhao family’s adopted daughter, deliberately stirred up trouble, causing the accident.
The Zhao family even took the injured Lu Heng into their home to recuperate.
At her in-laws’ house, Shen Chuyue is constantly bullied and restricted, while her husband, Zhao Shuhuan, has eyes only for his childhood sweetheart and adopted sister, turning a blind eye to Shen Chuyue’s plight. She has no interest in such a cold marriage. She simply uses Lu Heng’s help to get a divorce and escape the chains of a marriage in name only. Then she plans to seize the opportunities brought by reform and opening up, and live a peaceful life with her mother.
She has no idea that Lu Heng, a man accustomed to high office and known for his cold heart, has already fallen for her. Beneath his glacial exterior lie deep, repressed feelings and an intense possessiveness. Without a word, he clears every obstacle in her path.
She has barely finished the divorce proceedings when the usually distant, dignified man pins her in a corner, his eyes roiling with restrained emotion. “Marry me. I’ll never let you suffer another moment of hardship. Will you choose me as your husband?”
This era military wedding article is very good! The writing is very realistic, there is a strong sense of pull between the heroine and the hero, and the supporting characters are all vivid and not stereotyped, and it is faster and faster!
