A Blended Family on the 1960s Frontier

Lu Qinghe transmigrates into a period novel as the male lead's country wife, who dies young.

After years of living as a wife in name only, the original owner was abandoned. Only before her death did she learn that Wu Xingliang had been cheating on her for a long time. She watched as the husband who had deceived her her whole life took their two children away because she could no longer have children, then started a new life with someone else.

Live as a wife in name only? And give a man children for nothing?

While Wu Xingliang is still away, Lu Qinghe starts meeting potential husbands and decides to remarry in a hurry, taking both children with her.

After considering one man after another, Lu Qinghe picks someone practical.

Zhao Zhanming has a good salary, is educated, and has a steady temperament. He's a good choice in every way, except that he's been divorced for three years and has two children. Supposedly, life with the army is tough, and most importantly, rumors say his divorce was because he's not very capable in bed.

But no matter how tough it is, it can't be worse than being worked like an ox at her in-laws' home. And if he's not capable in bed, at least she'll get some peace and quiet.

Besides, she can't stand another day in these mountains. For the sake of a city household registration for herself and the children, Lu Qinghe agrees on the spot, then quickly boards a train with the kids to join him in the provincial capital.

Life with the army after marriage isn't at all what Lu Qinghe expected.

The borderlands may be cold, but their home is warm. The man she thought was cold and hard-hearted is increasingly considerate and attentive.

And she must make one thing perfectly clear: Rumors are risky, so don't believe a word of them. The man who was supposedly incapable is extremely capable, both in daily life and in married life (.)

Xia Yunwan transmigrates into a period novel as the female lead's younger sister, and as the first love who spends half her life entangled with the male lead.

The Xia family is a blended family. Their parents had arranged a childhood betrothal, and the other family has since risen in status, with the man now an officer. Naturally, Father Xia intends to reserve such an advantageous match for his biological daughter, Xia Yunduo.

But with the wedding approaching, Xia Yunduo suddenly calls it off. In desperation, the Xia family turns its attention to her younger sister, Xia Yunwan.

Joining the army on an island is still better than working as a coal washer here. She's taught plenty of students before, so she won't be afraid of becoming a mother to two little burdens.

And then there's the man. Lu Linchuan is said to have a cold, hard temperament, but if they sleep in separate beds after marriage, his coldness won't bother her.

Once she's made up her mind, Xia Yunwan sets off for the island, carrying the name of the Xia family's old master's biological granddaughter.

Lu Linchuan is cold on the outside and hard-hearted within, famous in the 115th Regiment for his lack of human feeling.

His family-arranged fiancée hasn't even arrived yet, and he's already announced that he won't accept an arranged marriage and will send her away.

But as he keeps seeing her off, he ends up bringing her into his room.

Once they've signed the marriage papers, she's his. No matter how much he dotes on her and cherishes her, it never feels like enough.

"That's enough..."

Moonlight filters through the window. The loose strands of hair at Xia Yunwan's temple are already damp.

She never imagined that this man would be cold on the outside but burning hot within. Once he heats up, he's impossible to handle.
