    This is amazing! The male lead is older than the female lead, and he's always worried she'll dislike him. I haven't recommended any books lately because I've been having a reading slump; none of the books I've read to the end have been good. Some have a great beginning but I just can't keep going in the middle. This book is really good. If you like strong female leads, I recommend it. The female lead was a special forces soldier in her previous life, and the male lead was Hong Kong's richest man who strongly supported Hong Kong's return to China and even received the Bauhinia Medal. In this life, the female lead transmigrates into the body of the male lead's newlywed wife who died in a kidnapping in his previous life. Because she was a special forces soldier in her previous life, she's been protecting the male lead, the recipient of the Bauhinia Medal, in this life. The female lead is incredibly strong; she can ride a motorcycle, fly a fighter jet, wield an AK with one hand, use a Barrett rifle, protect the cowardly male lead, comfort his insecurity, and even give birth to a highly intelligent baby. She's amazing! The only thing she's not good at is taking care of a child. The male lead is terrified of death and insecure because his biological mother was murdered by a mistress and he was framed and exiled by his own father at her funeral. His only source of security is his wife; he's terrified of her death. He's a super possessive and doting husband, but due to his childhood trauma, he tends to be introspective when his possessiveness flares up. Highly recommended for those who enjoy stories where the female lead is strong and the male lead is weak, but the male lead is also very capable in public.
