My Husband in This Period Novel Is a Doomsday Big Shot

Blurb: Lin Cui suspects her new husband isn't human.

After being born into the story and awakening her memories, Lin Cui learns in advance of her tragic fate: she'll be rejected by her fiancé. Determined to stay away from the male and female leads and escape her cannon-fodder fate, she picks herself a tall, handsome man to marry. After all, he's much taller and more handsome than her former fiancé, can do the work of two people by himself, and can make sure she gets to eat meat. She's quite satisfied with her choice.

But after the wedding, Lin Cui gradually realizes something is off. Her new husband is far too tall and strong. He can break a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with one punch and easily subdue a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds. Worst of all, he can accidentally break the bed in the middle of the night.

Looking at the fifth broken bed in their home, Lin Cui suspects her husband isn't human.

Wan Feng awakens supernatural powers. His body is as strong as steel, he has incredible strength, and he can tear zombies apart with his bare hands or knock down a tree with one punch. He survives alone in the apocalypse for hundreds of years. The only price is that he has completely lost his human emotions, becoming like a powerful, precise machine.

One day, he transmigrates to China in the 1970s, only to have his marriage arranged by his scheming relatives.

Wan Feng, who has no interest in women: ?

Wan Feng marries Lin Cui, the gentlest and most educated woman in the village.

At first, he's quite satisfied with his shy, well-behaved wife. She doesn't pester him to fulfill his marital duties, and they sleep on opposite sides of the bed at night, each leaving the other in peace.

Later, Wan Feng becomes less pleased with how shy his wife is. As the temperature rises at night, she bites his shoulder and pounds on him, telling him to hurry up and finish.

Wan Feng knows his wife doesn't mean what she says. She clearly loves it, and everything she says is the opposite of what she really thinks.

It doesn't matter if the bed breaks. He has plenty of strength to hold his wife.

Shen Lizhen transmigrates into a period novel as the only daughter of a wealthy merchant, with a little mansion of her own. But she barely gets to enjoy her good fortune for two days before her parents are branded capitalists. They donate their money and house to save themselves, only to be sent to a farm for reeducation.

Shen Lizhen: “...”

To protect their daughter, her parents entrust Shen Lizhen to the son of a military district leader who had once owed them a favor, arranging a marriage to shield her from the consequences of her class background.

Shen Lizhen carefully recalls the story. This officer is an important character with a bright future. She won't suffer if she marries him, and he'll be able to protect her. This is a marriage worth making! She can cling to this powerful backer!

After taking a week-long train journey to marry her fiancé, Shen Lizhen discovers that the man before her has sharp brows and bright eyes, and wears his uniform impeccably. He's even more handsome than she'd imagined. What a bargain.

The Shen family once did the Xue family a favor. Now that the Shens have been branded capitalists, Father Xue forcefully arranges for his son, Zhao Huatao, who is the same age as Shen Lizhen, to marry her and protect her.

But Zhao Huatao has heard that the capitalist's daughter is spoiled, willful, and ugly, and he's not keen on the marriage. He vacillates between obeying his parents and resisting an arranged marriage.

When his fiancée first arrives at the military district, Zhao Huatao even volunteers for a mission to avoid her, asking his comrade-in-arms and close friend Liang Shaojun to receive her instead.

After Zhao Huatao returns to his unit from the mission, he hears Liang Shaojun describe his fiancée, Shen Lizhen, as just like the rumors. He's immediately disheartened. Especially when his close friend, who has been through life and death with him, encourages him to bravely oppose the arranged marriage and pursue freedom of love, Zhao Huatao finally makes up his mind: he'll break off the engagement!

Zhao Huatao never expected that not long after he broke off the engagement, Liang Shaojun, who had always been uninterested in romance, would get married in a flash.

Liang Shaojun has earned a great many military honors. At just twenty-eight, he's become the youngest regiment commander in the military district. He's tough as nails, but still unmarried at an age when most men have settled down. The leaders and families in the military compound keep trying to snap him up for their own daughters.

Until he steps in to greet his comrade's fiancée, Shen Lizhen, who has traveled thousands of miles to meet him. She's breathtakingly beautiful and graceful, and Liang Shaojun falls in love at first sight.

The only problem is how to get his close friend, who's been through life and death with him, to break off the engagement himself.

Later, Zhao Huatao sees the stunning beauty by Liang Shaojun's side and shamefully feels his heart stir. Then he hears someone say Shen Lizhen's name, and it dawns on him: she's the fiancée he broke off his engagement with!

Zhao Huatao demands angrily, “How could you call me your friend and tell me to bravely resist an arranged marriage? You were plotting this all along!”

Liang Shaojun replies matter-of-factly, “A good friend takes the pain of an arranged marriage off your hands. You should be thanking me.”

Zhao Huatao: ?

You spend all day hanging around Shen Lizhen, and you call that taking pain off my hands?
