Back to the 1970S: Divorce and Raise a Child

In her previous life, when Qiao Fangning and Lu Yongsheng divorced, Lu Yongsheng said, "I'm sorry, Fangning. I love you, but you can't have children, and she has already had one for me, so..." She died of grief. Time goes back to 1975, to the wedding night of Qiao Fangning and Lu Yongsheng. Still fully dressed, Qiao Fangning kicks him right off the bed... Luckily, there's still time to change everything. No one understands why Qiao Fangning wants a divorce right after getting married. On the day they go to file the divorce papers, someone sees Lu Yongsheng arguing with Han Xuemei outside the marriage registration office. Han Yuanzheng is there too. Qiao Fangning is surprised. "Han Yuanzheng? What are you doing here?" Han Yuanzheng, home on leave to visit his family, points toward Han Xuemei in the distance. "I'm her uncle." Qiao Fangning remembers. Han Xuemei has an impressive uncle, apparently a great scientist and a forward-thinking bachelor who never wants to marry. A few days later, a daring idea takes shape in Qiao Fangning's mind. She blocks Han Yuanzheng at the entrance to an alley and asks him, "Han Yuanzheng, would you be willing to be the father of my child?" After a silence and two seconds of eye contact, Han Yuanzheng discreetly glances at her stomach and nods. "All right. I have a two-year-old son. Would that bother you?" Qiao Fangning smiles and shakes her head. "Not at all." The thing she wants most in this life is to raise a child. - On the island, at the research base, a certain leader slams the desk in anger after seeing their marriage application. "No! I won't approve this marriage. You're talented and have a bright future. Why on earth would you marry a divorcee?" Han Yuanzheng's gaze is resolute. "Chief, if she weren't a divorcee, I'd never stand a chance. If you don't approve it, I'll just stay single for the rest of my life." The leader grabs whatever is at hand and hurls it at him. "You little rascal!" After a while, he asks, "Is she really that beautiful? More beautiful than my niece in the arts troupe?" The usually cold and aloof Han Yuanzheng lets the corner of his mouth lift for once and nods. "So beautiful she could make fish sink and flowers blush, the moon hide and the stars retreat. She's the only one for me." The next day, everyone at the institute knows that Engineer Han went home on leave to visit his family and got bewitched by a divorcee, and that he won't marry anyone else. Everyone is curious about just how alluring this "seductress" must be to enchant Engineer Han, that eternal ice sculpture. When Qiao Fangning, delicate as a willow in the breeze and so lovely that anyone would feel for her, appears in the staff housing compound, everyone is stunned. What kind of seductress is this? She looks like a sickly beauty! Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine is not pregnant. The hero misunderstands, and the son isn't his biological child. The heroine misunderstands too. 2.
