A Hero Rescues a Beauty in the 1960s

Xie Zhi transmigrates into a period novel she had only heard briefly summarized.

Her luck with transmigration is both good and bad.

The good: she has become the commander's youngest daughter. The bad: Jiang Tianming, the man she is about to marry, is a spy from across the strait.

In the book, not long after Xie Zhi gets married, her husband's identity as a spy is exposed and her father is placed under investigation. Devastated, she suffers a mental breakdown and eventually throws herself into a river.

The two became acquainted when Jiang Tianming and his comrade-in-arms, He Hanzhang, rescued Xie Zhi from a landslide.

Jiang Tianming is handsome, smooth-talking, gentle, and considerate. With the added glow of a "hero," Xie Zhi inevitably falls for him.

When she transmigrates into the story, Xie Zhi is about to meet him and accept his marriage proposal.

When they meet, Xie Zhi cuts him off and asks shyly, "Comrade He Hanzhang, are you engaged? Could you tell me about him...?"

He Hanzhang is handsome and accomplished in both military and scholarly pursuits, a talent cherished by his superiors.

But as famous as his abilities is his aversion to marriage.

After dodging another matchmaking attempt by going on a mission, he returns to find his superior teasing him, saying the commander's daughter has set her sights on him!

He Hanzhang assumes it's just a silly rumor and pays it no mind.

Who could have guessed that, just after he finishes reporting to his superior, he would step outside and see a smiling young woman in an army-green dress, bathed in warm orange light, say to him, "Comrade He Hanzhang, can we talk?"

He Hanzhang, the military district's most eligible bachelor, is going to marry Xie Zhi, the notorious princess of the military compound!

The military families' compound is abuzz, and naturally, people start gossiping.

Those who previously wanted to set He Hanzhang up with someone, and those who wanted to bring Xie Zhi into their own family, gather to trade sour remarks: "One's as hard as a rock, the other's as spoiled as a crybaby. There's no way those two will get along."

But what leaves everyone stunned is that after they marry, the man of steel, He Hanzhang, becomes tender as silk. No man in the entire military district dotes on his wife more.

That only brings out more jealous remarks: "If he wants to curry favor with his father-in-law, he'd better start by sweet-talking his wife."

The man does get better and better at coaxing her. After he once again leans close with a serious expression and huskily persuades her to give in one last time, Xie Zhi can only think:

If he keeps sweet-talking her like this, she'll have no choice but to kick him out!

But after sleeping soundly, before she can punish the man, a thunderbolt from a clear sky leaves her reeling:

He Hanzhang is actually the real grandson of a powerful figure in the capital, switched at birth!
