We’ve Been Married Two Years, So Why Won’t He Come Home? Married Life in the Army Brings Stolen Kisses Every Night

[An alternate-history era: a capitalist heiress versus an aloof big shot from a powerful family] Filled with apprehension, Wen Mingyao spent a day and a night on the train before traveling alone to Yuncheng, a thousand miles away, to join her husband in the military district. The moment she arrived at the gate, word spread through the entire family compound that Leader Zhou’s wife, a capitalist heiress, had come to join him. But everyone in the compound knew that Leader Zhou had married the heiress only because his elders had threatened to kill themselves if he refused. The woman he loved but could never have had always been the most dazzling beauty in the compound. There had been no courtship between Leader Zhou and his heiress wife, no foundation of affection, and certainly no wedding. The moment Wen Mingyao moved into the military district... Every man who saw her couldn’t help shaking his head and thinking to himself, “Is Zhou Zhuo blind? This heiress is a hundred thousand miles prettier than the woman he loves.” But most of the women who saw her said, “Being pretty doesn’t put food on the table. Look how delicate and frail this capitalist heiress is. She can’t carry anything heavy or lift a finger.” Only Wen Mingyao knew that she had waited five whole years for this day, ever since the first time she saw Zhou Zhuo. On the first day Wen Mingyao arrived... Zhou Zhuo told her, “Since we’re married, I’ll give you the respect you deserve in public. But the love you want is something I, Zhou Zhuo, can’t give you!” Later, her heart grew weary, and she finally decided to end the marriage and return alone to her hometown of Haicheng. On a night of torrential rain, the man stood beneath the small Western-style villa, letting the rain drench him. His eyes bloodshot, he stubbornly pleaded, “Yaoyao, can we please not get divorced?”
