After I Forcefully Married the Beauty of the Compound

[Blurb One]

In her previous life, Su Liu fled in the middle of the night on the very day Pei Zhiheng insisted they marry.

She didn't know then that this choice would bring nearly thirty years of twists and turns.

Nor did she know that Pei Zhiheng would give and sacrifice without condition, all the way to the end of a long life cut short.

Given another chance, Su Liu would never repeat her mistakes.

If her scumbag father, stepmother, and stepsister refuse to act like decent people, then they don't deserve a decent life.

If someone insists that she marry their foolish son, they can hardly blame her for taking every opportunity to strike back.

As for Pei Zhiheng, Su Liu wastes no time getting a marriage certificate with him.

Since the man said in her previous life, "I don't have the time or the inclination to get married," she agrees with him that they'll be married in name only.

After the wedding, Su Liu works tirelessly to stockpile supplies, making sure she, her fake husband, and their loved ones can get through the hard times safely.

Fortunately, she has a storage space, so she'll have no shortage of food and can fit plenty of other supplies too.

Pei Zhiheng doesn't understand. It doesn't matter. There'll be plenty of chances to prove him wrong.

[Blurb Two]

After leaving the military, Pei Zhiheng turns down the job arranged for him by the army and passes the entrance exam for a machinery factory, becoming one of the rarest Grade Eight machinists, all so he can live in the same compound as Su Liu.

Looking after her was a promise to her closest family.

Su Liu is a true force of nature, a short-tempered firecracker who can explode at any moment.

Looking after her is exhausting, and the way her mind works can be maddening.

With no other choice, Pei Zhiheng threatens her into marrying him. He expects her to agree outwardly while resisting inwardly, and prepares himself for the trouble she'll cause at every turn.

But it turns out quite differently. The little firecracker divides up the housework neatly and never shirks her share. They bicker and trade barbs all the time, but always make up on the spot.

Most of the time, she's pretty well-behaved.

Gradually, Pei Zhiheng can no longer think of her as a tomboy or a little firecracker.

When she smiles like a flower or mutters complaints at him, it's as if a cat's paw has brushed his heartstrings, leaving them tingling and ticklish.

When she occasionally dresses a little more lightly, her fair shoulders and arms, and her long, straight legs, firm with youthful bounce, set his imagination running wild.

When she gets into a conflict with someone again, he still protects her without question. But now he does it not just to keep his promise, but out of instinctive protectiveness.
