After the Beauty Flirts with the Wrong Big Shot in a Period Novel

The stunning Zhao Nige finds herself inside a military-marriage novel. The System tells her to win over the male lead: a handsome special forces soldier. On the day of her blind date, Zhao Nige walks into a restaurant and spots a man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and an imposing presence in his camouflage uniform. Without hesitation, she sits down and starts flirting with him. At first, the stern, striking soldier keeps up his aloof, chaste persona, looking like a tough nut to crack. But eventually, he can’t take it anymore. He falls for her, tossing and turning sleeplessly over her, and wants to submit a marriage application so he can marry her. Then Zhao Nige suddenly realizes she may have mistaken him for someone else. She’s won over the male lead’s uncle. Her “uncle” isn’t a special forces soldier. He’s the renowned commander of a special operations brigade. No wonder he always looked so stern and proper when she flirted with him, watching her with those inscrutable dark eyes while holding himself back. Somehow, it only made her wonder what he’d look like when he finally lost control. Zhao Nige covers her face. What is she supposed to do? She’s already had her way with him, only to find out she picked the wrong man. Should she still marry him or not…? * Lu Yanling was born into a military family. As a hardline commander of an elite special operations brigade, he has always held himself to strict standards and had no interest in romance. Then, at last, in his twenty-ninth year, he fell for a woman. She was hypocritical, ridiculous, and affected. But he still couldn’t stop himself from falling for her. * Zhao Nige’s plan to win him over has gone spectacularly wrong. The day she goes to dinner at the male lead’s house, Lu Yanling, green-eyed with jealousy and dressed in disarray, pins her against the car, burying his face in the crook of her neck. “So you’re that desperate to seduce my nephew? Call me Uncle and let me hear it.” Zhao Nige: “Lu Yanling, how did I never realize you were such a beast?” In the stuffy, sealed car, he nearly loses control. “You brought this on yourself.” Afterward, he soothes her while threatening her: “Have dinner with that kid again, and I’ll break his legs. Think I won’t?” * A gorgeous, scheming flirt x an aloof military officer * A sweet, satisfying romance where both are eager to give as good as they get Reader note: 1. This is a lighthearted romance with no concern for logic. 2. Expect plenty of melodrama and wild twists. It’s all about that cheesy, sweet, tangy rush. Coming soon: After the Sickly Beauty Marries the Big Shot in a Period Novel Su Xinwan has been sickly and beautiful since childhood. Born with a heart condition, she gets winded after just a few steps. Her family spends a fortune pampering her, but she still dies young at twenty. When she opens her eyes again, she’s become a supporting female character in a period novel. It’s 1978. Large numbers of educated youths are returning to the cities, and the female lead, Xu Jinru, has run off with another man, unwilling to marry her fiancé because his parents are dead and he has neither money nor a job. Unwilling to return the betrothal gifts, the Xu family brings back the sickly second daughter they sent away and makes her take her sister’s place. When Su Xinwan opens her eyes, she sees a man radiating a rogueish, ruthless air. He’s tall, with broad shoulders and a powerful back. His face is sharp with barely contained anger, his brows thick and his eyes narrow. He looks at her as if she’s nothing but trouble. Su Xinwan quietly swallows. He looks so scary. Is he going to hit me? - Xiao Yan was born into a privileged family, but after a sudden upheaval, he and his parents were sent down to the countryside. Their old friends wanted nothing to do with them. After his parents died, he saw just how cold people could be, so he wasn’t surprised when his fiancée broke off their engagement. The only reason the Xu family foisted their wheezing, sickly daughter on him was to silence the gossip. Xiao Yan doesn’t blame her, but he won’t let them make a fool of him, either. He won’t accept this marriage and plans to send her away. Before he can even speak, the young woman’s peach-blossom eyes tremble as she warns him, “Under the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Minors, beating, tying up, abusing, or restricting the personal freedom of family members, as well as insulting or threatening them, are all illegal!” Xiao Yan: “…” He stares at the young woman’s beautiful, delicate face, and the words to send her away catch in his throat. - Eventually, Xu Jinru finally gets her urban household registration, but at a devastating cost. The educated youth who returned to the city has changed his mind. Pregnant and miserable in the hospital, she has no idea what to do. Then she looks back and sees Xiao Yan, the fiancé she abandoned, carefully supporting a young woman as they come out of the emergency room. The petite young woman has gauze wrapped around her hand and refuses to move from the corridor. “I told you not to learn to ride a bike!” “Fine.” Xiao Yan helplessly lifts her onto his back. “No more bikes. We’ll get a car instead.” The young woman twists his ear and grumbles something at him. Xu Jinru hurries after them. When the two turn around, she finally gets a good look at the woman Xiao Yan carries on his back as if she were his most precious treasure. It’s her sickly second sister! Theme: Love yourself before you love someone else.
