After I Transmigrated into a Book Set in the 1960s: My Mistakenly Chosen Husband Is a Wheelchair-Bound Tycoon from a Period Novel

Ning He woke up to find herself in a novel set in the 1960s, where she'd become the daughter of a capitalist family?

In the book, her stepsister stole her fiancé, but because she'd accepted the betrothal gifts from the original fiancé, she had to make Ning He marry him in her place?

Ning He: &%$#@#@…

Her fiancé was sickly, breathing in more than he breathed out as he lay in bed. He'd die soon after she married him.

If she didn't marry him, she'd be sent to the countryside for reeducation.

Ning He steeled herself and gritted her teeth. Fine, she'd marry him. It wouldn't be long before she could eat at his funeral banquet anyway.

Being a widow was still better than going to the countryside and following the cannon-fodder plot.

An astonishing piece of news spread through the military compound in Beicheng.

Regiment Commander Lu, who had risen through the ranks in quick succession and was known for his cold temperament, had been seriously injured and would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. His former fiancée, who had already agreed to marry him, broke off the engagement overnight. Afraid their son would be lonely for the rest of his life, the Lu family panicked and began arranging blind dates for him everywhere.

Although Lu Zhengxu disagreed with his family's approach, he wasn't in a hurry.

Given his current circumstances, no decent family's daughter would agree to marry him.

Until a lovely young woman came walking through a blizzard to stand in front of him. Snow swirled through the air. She wore a red scarf, flakes of snow resting on her glossy black hair, and the cold had turned her fair cheeks pink. Her clear, almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile.

"Excuse me, are you Comrade Lu?"

"My name is Ning He. I'm the woman you're supposed to marry."

Sitting upright in his wheelchair, he narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed softly. "I am."

Hadn't she already called off the engagement? She certainly had some nerve.

-

After getting married, Ning He waited to become a widow, but she found that their life together was getting stranger by the day.

Wasn't he supposed to die young? Why did he seem to get healthier and healthier?

Only then did Ning He remember that the novel had another big shot in it.

The book described him this way:

The big shot was powerful and influential, and remained unmarried his whole life. Rumor had it that he was not only cold by nature and a confirmed bachelor, but also infertile.

Ning He was horrified.

She'd married the wrong man!

A confirmed bachelor would definitely get divorced after getting married.

And infertility was perfect. She wouldn't have to worry about a baby ruining her quality of life.

In the days that followed, Ning He waited for Comrade Lu to ask for a divorce, until the bed at home collapsed from all their vigorous activity.

Wasn't he supposed to be cold and indifferent? Ning He got up, rubbing her aching waist with a wronged expression. Her back was about to break, and he still hadn't stopped.

Wasn't he supposed to be a confirmed bachelor? She'd been waiting to get divorced and run off to a life of freedom, but even after she got pregnant, he still hadn't brought it up.

Bonus Scene:

The man sat in his wheelchair, holding a bowl of dark herbal medicine in his long-fingered hand. He lowered his eyes, his handsome face stern.

A fellow soldier teased him, "Since your legs are only pretending to be injured for the mission, why not skip the medicine if it's so bitter?"

Lu Zhengxu acted as if he hadn't heard. He downed the bitter, black medicine in one go. "My wife spent half an hour making it."

"I can't bear to waste it."
