Jiang Nan was a stunning beauty, delicate and soft, born into wealth and blessed with a genius for physics. She entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences at eighteen and became an academician at thirty-five. But after an accident, she found herself in a period novel as the foolish, difficult, short-lived first wife.
The original owner was blind to the truth and foolish in love. She looked down on her husband, Gu Zhan, for being a country bumpkin, refused to follow the army after their marriage, and let herself be completely taken in by a writer who penned sentimental poetry.
When Jiang Nan became the difficult first wife, her lover was urging her to elope.
Her legs went weak. Oh no. Eloping in this era was practically a death sentence.
Dying was out of the question. She was dedicating her life to scientific research!
The door suddenly opened. A man she hadn't seen in two years stood there, his military uniform immaculate and his gaze cold.
The next second, her soft, fragrant body flung itself into his arms.
"Honey!" She lifted her porcelain-white face, eyes shimmering, her voice sweet and tender. "Why did you take so long to come home?"
Gu Zhan froze: ?????
Gu Zhan came from a distinguished family and had an impressive military record. He was a model soldier admired by the entire military region.
But after he saved someone, he married a woman from the surrounding villages who was notorious for being difficult. She'd demanded a divorce and insisted on living apart, wearing him down completely.
This time, after repeatedly dreaming that she nearly got herself and their child killed while trying to divorce him, he had finally lost heart. With his leave pass in hand, he went back to end this mistaken marriage.
The whole military region was waiting to see Battalion Commander Gu get divorced. No one expected his wife to come live with the troops.
Everyone was looking forward to a spectacle. Ugly women were often the most difficult, and who knew what kind of shrew she might be?
But when she arrived, everyone fell silent.
The woman standing behind Gu Zhan had snow-white skin and red lips, a slender waist and long legs. She strode with confidence, making the whole family compound look like a drab backdrop.
The jealous ones jumped in to sneer: So what if she's pretty? Their life together is bound to be a disaster.
Later, the Gu family's courtyard was filled every day with the irresistible aroma of delicious food, making the children on the whole street drool. And that wasn't all: the stunning beauty even designed a fighter jet, earning a commendation published in newspapers across the country.
Battalion Commander Gu got even busier, repairing the bed every other day.
The heroine, robbed of her spotlight, slammed her enamel mug down in anger. "So this whole time, you two were just playing me?!"
Gu Zhan put an arm around his wife and rubbed her swollen belly, looking around at everyone. "Don't try to drive a wedge between us. My wife has only ever been difficult for my sake."
