Where Did Mom Go? [Period]

Xie Heng married a kind, intelligent, and capable wife. At home, she cared for her husband and raised their children. Outside, she worked hard and got things done. With her around, he never had to lift a finger for household chores.

Then one day, this wonderful wife and mother suddenly left her husband and children behind and ran away.

Ran Wenshuang had no idea that after she left, people called her a "heartless" and "pretentious" woman. Nor did she know that the kindhearted wives in the compound were busy finding her husband a new wife and her children a stepmother.

After finishing what she had to do, Ran Wenshuang returned to the military base to visit her husband and children. She heard that quite a few people had tried to introduce marriage prospects to her husband, but he had turned them all down.

She wasn't angry when she found out. Instead, she seriously discussed things with him.

He used to be away from home on missions, and in the future she'd be busy with her own work and wouldn't have much time to take care of him or the children. They really ought to consider getting divorced.

Fortunately, he had food and clothes at the base, and the children were already old enough to go to school. They didn't need her to be with them all day.

As long as he agreed, a military marriage wouldn't be difficult to end.

Once she was settled, she'd bring the children to live with her. That wouldn't keep him from marrying again.

Xie Heng refused and told her not to bring up divorce again.

They had shared a life as husband and wife for ten years, and he had never forgotten his promise from before they married.

He wouldn't become an obstacle in her way.

[Blurb]

Reborn eighteen years in the past, Zhou Qin decides to stay away from the husband who nearly made her lose her mind.

She doesn't want to love him anymore.

Going from a life where she never lacked food or clothing back to an era of scarcity is bound to be a shock. But since she has a chance to start over, she intends to live a different life.

He Liangzhen met Zhou Qin when she was twenty-five. She stood up for his mother and younger sister when she saw them being bullied, and his mother wanted to set the two of them up.

She wasn't his type.

After she pursued him passionately and his mother did everything she could to bring them together, the two married.

After a long time adjusting to married life, he finally got used to her enthusiasm.

One day, he returned to eighteen years earlier. He was twenty-two, and Zhou Qin was seventeen, still underage. He decided to focus on his studies and career first.

Before she came of age, he saw her chatting and laughing with a boy.

He went over to talk to her, only to get a frown and a curt, "Old man, who are you?"

He Liangzhen kept a straight face, but privately found it hard to believe. "I'm only five years older than you."

She said something even more outrageous. "How do you know how old I am? If you're five years older than me, then when you were in high school I was still in elementary school. Move along, mister. You're in my way."

Zhou Qin rejected He Liangzhen.

Zhou Qin thought she was unbelievably strong.

Just when she thought she would never have anything to do with He Liangzhen again in this life, the wily old man realized that she was impervious to his advances and switched to winning over her parents.

Dad! Mom! Get a grip!

This old man isn't as great as you think!
