A Beauty in the 1970s Remarries Her Military Officer Uncle

[Completed. New novel, The Seven Zeroes Guide to Cherishing Your Wife, is now underway.]

After transmigrating into a novel set in the 1970s, Lin Wanxing discovered that she had become the unlucky, overworked first wife.

Her fiance, Gu Jianbin, had faked his death and stayed at the border to take care of his fallen comrade's widow.

Just to give his "dear sister-in-law" a good life, he would rather stay away from home and let his whole family cry their eyes out over him.

Lin Wanxing was so furious she laughed.

In her previous life, after Gu Jianbin died before they could marry, the original owner was forced to remain a widow-to-be. Out of respect for a fallen martyr, no one dared marry her.

She could only move in with the Gu family and slave away caring for the whole household, following every rule of wifely virtue. After waiting in vain for thirty years, she became an old widow, only for Gu Jianbin to return in glory with his comrade's widow, saying they had been together for years and were now married, and asking Lin Wanxing to give her blessing.

Give you my blessing? You should be grateful if I don't turn your whole family upside down!

Lin Wanxing arrived in the middle of a funeral.

Looking at Gu Jianbin's black-and-white portrait, she slammed the frame to the floor. As everyone stared in shock, she cried herself unconscious in the mourning hall. "I don't believe it! Jianbin said... sob... he'd definitely come back... If he couldn't, he said I shouldn't wait for him, even if he died!"

"If he died in battle, I'd have to find a capable, reliable, high-earning man and marry him right away! Then he could die in peace! Sob... Where am I supposed to find someone like that? Would anyone even marry me?"

Unexpectedly, after a long silence, a tall figure in a crisp military uniform stepped out from the crowd.

Gu Jianfeng, his broad-shouldered, handsome, honest younger brother, silently wiped her tears, seemingly resolved. Then he kowtowed and made a solemn vow. "Brother, I'll repay what you owe your wife."

He raised his head, his eyes dark. "Sister-in-law, I'm capable and reliable, and I earn a good salary. I'll give it all to you. Will you marry me?"

Lin Wanxing was stunned.

Wasn't this Gu Jianbin's younger brother, Gu Jianfeng, who'd risen to a high rank at a young age and outshone even the male lead?!

This... marry the younger brother?

It wasn't out of the question!

-

Gu Jianfeng struggled to decide to marry both branches of the family, but he swore he'd shoulder his elder brother's responsibilities for the rest of his life and treat his sister-in-law right.

He washed Lin Wanxing's feet at night and made her steamed eggs in the morning. He handed over every cent of his salary and came home drenched in sweat to massage her feet and ease her aches.

He'd meant for them to treat each other with respect, but Lin Wanxing rested her feet against his firm chest and wrapped her arms around his lean waist. The bed that had been cold for years was finally warmed by her soft, fragrant presence...

At first, Gu Jianfeng's bronze-colored face would flush with embarrassment.

Later, he grew addicted to the taste, coaxing her every night of his own accord. "Wanxing, one more time..."

**

Gu Jianbin had been faking his death for a long time when an accident left him injured and in a terrible state. Unable to bear having his comrade's widow, his "dear sister-in-law," take care of him, he decided to return home and marry her.

He brought his sister-in-law home, only to see Gu Jianfeng, whose shoulder boards bore more stripes than his own, supporting a visibly pregnant Lin Wanxing with the utmost care, terrified she might bump or hurt herself.

Gu Jianbin looked at the stunning beauty, her face flushed and charming, her skin still smooth as jade, and felt his eyes redden until they seemed ready to split! Nobody had told him Lin Wanxing was so beautiful!

Wasn't she his wife? Why had she married his younger brother?

-

Lin Wanxing: You have your dear sister-in-law. I'm someone else's dear sister-in-law too.

The new novel, The Seven Zeroes Guide to Cherishing Your Wife, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list

Everyone in the capital knew Third Master Yan as a cold-faced demon who had no interest in women.

Yan Tingxu thought so too.

Until he was forced to take in a young woman from the countryside.

Her name was Shen Qingyou. She was the orphan of his comrade, and when she was brought to him, she was as thin as a kitten.

Only her eyes were exceptionally beautiful. When she looked at him with that dewy gaze, she could melt his hardened heart.

He'd planned to raise her for a few years, then find her a good family to marry into.

But later

He returned from a late-night mission to find her curled up on his bed, napping, her thin blanket slipping down to reveal a stretch of slender, pale waist.

Yan Tingxu stood in the doorway and realized he'd raised a menace.

That night he stood in the cold wind for an entire night, but eventually couldn't resist. He carried her, blankets and all, into his arms.

Shen Qingyou opened her eyes groggily and called to him, "Third Uncle?"

He lowered his head and bit her ear, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. "Who's your third uncle?"

Later, everyone in the military district knew that Third Master Yan had spoiled a country girl rotten, treating her like royalty and nearly turning the world upside down for her.

Shen Qingyou had a secret: she was reborn.

In her previous life, she had lived cautiously under someone else's roof for three years, only to hear that Yan Tingxu had died in battle.

In this life, all she wanted was to repay him and keep him safe.

But as she kept protecting him

Why had the cold, distant man from her previous life suddenly locked her up, his gaze domineering and dark?

"You looked at him a few times just now. How many times should I punish you?"

At first, Yan Tingxu thought he was shameless for stealing his nephew's first love.

Later, he became shameless without the slightest reservation.

P.S. The heroine moves in with the hero at fifteen. Before she comes of age, their relationship is purely familial! Neither of them has absolutely, absolutely, absolutely any other intentions!

Theme: Have the courage to leave at any time.
