Period Setting | Heartless Bad Beauty x Pure-Hearted Young Master | Runs Away While Pregnant | Deception Twice Over | He Is Completely in Love
In this life, You You was reborn in the 1980s as a frail, sickly girl with no one to rely on. The doctor said she wouldn't live past twenty.
At seventeen, she started making plans. She placed pen-pal ads in newspapers across the country's major cities, casting a wide net in hopes of attracting access to medical resources in a big city. In the end, she settled on a correspondent from Beicheng: Zhang Shuai, well-connected and easy to fool.
Two years of correspondence turned friendship into love.
She headed to Beicheng on the pretext of a family member's serious illness. On the night they met, he was tall and handsome, and she couldn't restrain herself. She had her way with him, then slipped away before dawn.
She never expected to get pregnant after one night. Good genes were hard to come by, and with no one to keep her company, she decided to have the baby.
Even more unexpectedly, she had triplets. Exhausting, but joyful.
Four years later, the youngest child fell ill. The doctor recommended involving the child's father in the treatment to improve the odds of recovery. For her daughter, she steeled herself and returned to Beicheng.
When she asked around the military compound, she heard: "Zhang Shuai died in action three years ago."
Then she turned a corner and ran into the very "dead man" himself.
She chased after him, but he looked at her like a stranger, his eyes full of hatred. "What kind of lunatic are you?"
She had slept with him and run off four years ago, and thought he'd have forgotten her by now. That resentful look made it clear he still held a grudge.
If she could handle him once, she could handle him again.
She looked down at the sick youngest child in her arms, then looked up at the cold-faced man and smiled sweetly, with a calculating gleam:
"Comrade, you look a lot like my child's father."
