Don’t Be So Teasing, Mr. Abstinent Tycoon: This Seventies-Era Sweetheart Can’t Take It

After transmigrating into the body of a wicked female supporting character, Nan Ruan opens her eyes and bumps straight into a man's bare chest. He's destined to become the youngest and coldest military commander, a ruthless man with a fearsome reputation. But while he had amnesia, the original owner claimed to be his wife, tricked him into coming home, and bullied him in every way. Once the male lead regains his memories, the original owner ends up dead without a trace. Terrified, Nan Ruan quickly placates this formidable man, then looks for a chance to disappear. He's 1.9 meters tall; she's 1.58. When he carries a sack, she gives a little hop and helps push it along with a hearty “heave-ho.” When he chops wood, she squats nearby to offer him water and wipe away his sweat, then asks sweetly, “A Han, are you tired?” At night, their earthen bed is narrow, and he wraps his whole body around her with one arm. Curled against his chest, Nan Ruan doesn't dare move, her heart pounding as she plots her escape. She racks her brains to keep him happy. The man doesn't talk much, and his eyes are always dark and unreadable, so she chatters away to him every single day. Until one day, after saving up enough ration coupons, she sneaks off to the entrance of the village. Before she can even steady herself, the man comes after her with a hemp rope in hand, his gaze dark. “Why are you running?” Nan Ruan's legs go weak. “You remember everything now?” He says nothing, bends down, scoops her up, and carries her back over his shoulder. Several jeeps arrive in the village, and his comrades look at him with a mix of grief and indignation. “You've been stuck doing hard labor here. You must have suffered!” The man tucks the trembling little woman in his arms deeper into his military coat and replies coolly, “Suffered? Someone's been sweet-talking me every day.” His comrades' eyes nearly pop out. “Aren't you the one who hates being lied to most?” He looks down at Nan Ruan in his arms, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. “My Ruanruan is so timid. She must have worked really hard to deceive me.”
