The 1980S: After Reporting My Scumbag Husband, the Cold-Faced Commander Spoils Me Rotten

At her parents’ funeral, Xu Shuran discovered that her husband was having an affair. Six years of marriage had been nothing but a lie. He had married her to climb the social ladder, then moved in with his cousin and had a child with her the day after the wedding. He lied to Xu Shuran, claiming he was stationed on the border. She quit her job, cared for her in-laws, and waited foolishly for six years, only to become a laughingstock. Xu Shuran didn’t cry. Two letters of accusation were enough to destroy his career and ruin his reputation. She didn’t look back. She turned and boarded the train to the provincial capital. The transfer order was just a cover. What truly awaited her was a teaching post at the military district’s school for the children of service members. At the far end of the platform, a straight-backed officer took her luggage. “My name is Gu Shen. I’ve been ordered to meet you.” His deep voice brushed past her ear, and the cuff of his uniform grazed her fingertips. Xu Shuran had no idea that with this one turn, the abyss was already behind her. And the tenderness in that cold-faced commander’s eyes was only just beginning to show.
