A Seventies Island Couple

The main story is complete: You protect the island, and I'll protect you

Meng Yan was a beautiful young woman born in a crowded compound, with eyes clear as autumn water, brows curved like the moon, and a face as lovely as a peach blossom. Every frown and smile captivated the heart.

But for a poor family's daughter, beauty alone was a curse.

When Meng Yan was eighteen, an obsessive man pursued her relentlessly, threatening to destroy her if he couldn't have her.

To escape him, Meng Yan volunteered for a rural relocation program. But the madman followed her there!

With no other choice, Meng Yan's father asked an old superior to find a capable man for his daughter to marry. It had to be better than letting the obsessive man continue to harass her.

As it happened, the old superior's good friend's son was of marriageable age. He was stationed with the military on a remote island and was a promising young officer.

He was upright and handsome, but life on the island was harsh. Would a young woman be able to endure it?

"I can! I will!" What did harsh conditions matter, as long as she could get away from the obsessive man?

Jiang Shaoyu was a talented young man, still single and entirely unfamiliar with love.

Other than the island, nothing interested him.

After guarding the island for seven years, he'd served his country and his organization well, but had let down his parents.

His parents worried themselves sick over him. They introduced him to one young woman after another, and he turned them all down.

Then he received a letter with a photograph of a young woman tucked inside.

"We've found you someone. She's a pretty, quiet girl, and very well-behaved."

She was indeed sweet and beautiful. Jiang Shaoyu's heart, which had stayed still for twenty-six years, stirred for once.

But when he thought of the harsh life on the island, he firmly refused.

As soon as he finished writing his letter of refusal, the young woman his family had found for him had already landed, escorted by his subordinates.

Everyone teased her, calling her "sister-in-law."

His mother hadn't been wrong. The girl really was beautiful: skin like jade, hands soft as silk, and shining eyes that seemed to speak whenever she looked at him.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Shaoyu."

The man wore a crisp military uniform. His features were sharp and his bearing stern. The look he gave her clearly conveyed his refusal.

"Comrade Meng Yan, you can still change your mind. If you can't stand the conditions on the island, I'll have my men escort you home."

Meng Yan looked past him at the blue sea and the barren land. Clenching her fist, she answered firmly:

"I don't regret it. Comrade Jiang Shaoyu, I'm sticking with you!"

Meng Yan had transmigrated into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder female character who served as a foil in a period novel.

In the original story, Meng Yan would marry the obsessive male supporting character and endure an oppressive, violent marriage.

Meng Yan wasn't a masochist. After she transmigrated, she decisively changed the plot and chose an officer stationed on an island as her future partner. She decided to devote the rest of her life to the island.

And honestly, the officer was kind and handsome. It was a pretty good deal.

Who knew that after she landed, she'd discover that the island was nothing like the barren wasteland she'd imagined!

Coconuts, mangoes, guavas, and the occasional wild animal...

She could grab a bucket and go beachcombing with her partner: clams, crabs, little octopuses...

The land is barren and fresh water is scarce. There's no fresh produce to eat?

Then they'll reclaim the wasteland together and build a beautiful island!

* One-on-one romance, both leads' first relationship

* Cozy married life, family affairs, and farming

[Spitfire factory beauty x gentle, devoted golden retriever]

Zhou Mingtian, a master's graduate in physics and mechanical engineering and the youngest promising senior engineer in the whole machinery factory, actually fell for the factory's most fiery beauty!

He Li was a famously fiery beauty at the machinery factory, with eyes clear as autumn water, brows curved like the moon, and a face as lovely as a peach blossom. Every frown and smile captivated the heart.

Too bad she had such a temper that even the men were afraid of her!

Rumor had it that He Li had shamelessly chased after Zhou Mingtian, pestering him until she finally won the aloof beauty over.

He Li: "...Sorry, he was the one who pursued me."

Rumor had it that Zhou Mingtian was supposed to go abroad on a government-sponsored program, but He Li stopped him!

He Li: "...Sorry, I told him to go, but he refused."

No one believed it, until one day...

"He Li, this is my promise. I promise I won't be mean to you or scold you after we start dating, and I won't act like I'm superior just because I'm a man. I'll cherish you and spoil you, treat you well, treat your whole family well, and buy you food, clothes, and Snow Flower Cream. So..." Engineer Zhou wiped his sweaty palms nervously. "Comrade He Li, will you accept my pursuit now?"

Glancing at the coworkers around them, their jaws practically on the floor, He Li casually tossed her hair. "Hmm, I suppose you just barely pass muster."

Zhou Mingtian, the aloof beauty who'd won the girl of his dreams, was grinning like an idiot...

Everyone: "???"

Reborn at twenty-five, the first thing Zhou Mingtian did after waking up was find the woman who'd been his wife in his previous life and stop her from marrying her first husband!

In his previous life, He Li had married an abusive scumbag after trusting the wrong man. She was poor, sick, and miserable. There was no word for how tragic her life had been.

By middle age, after fighting through countless hardships, they finally found each other, but they'd missed the best years of their lives.

Given another chance at life, Zhou Mingtian decided to skip all the side routes and get straight to the point!

There were three things He Li had never figured out in her twenty years of life:

Why did Zhou Mingtian, the aloof beauty, cry the first time he saw her?

Why did he suddenly fall for her?

Why... was he so determined to treat her well?
