My Scumbag Ex Climbs the Social Ladder? I'll Marry the Stoic Military Officer and Be Spoiled Rotten

[A cold, proud colonel who says one thing but means another VS a laid-back, elegant beauty who keeps her head down and tinkers with technology]

Love after marriage + making money + getting even with every enemy

Her fiance cheated with his superior's daughter. To get rid of his troublesome fiancee, he sent her to another man's bed.

He never expected that this would make her the wife of a commanding officer and a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

…

In the dead of winter, a piece of news set the military compound ablaze!

Word was that Chu Junbai, a handsome, aristocratic man as cold as winter and famously uninterested in women, was getting married. But he wasn't marrying his childhood sweetheart, a girl from an equally matched family. Instead, he was marrying an illiterate country bumpkin who was ugly, dowdy, and a shrew.

The truth: she was fair-skinned and beautiful, poised and well-mannered, and well-read!

She was also remarkably talented.

Other families were always losing power, but the Chu household was always brightly lit.

Chu Junbai's mother-in-law declared proudly, “It's all thanks to my Junbai's wife!”

Chu Junbai believed someone had schemed to force this marriage on him, so he treated Mu Xiaowan with the utmost disdain. But then he discovered that things weren't quite as he had imagined...

…

“Captain, there's a particularly beautiful young woman here at the unit.”

The unit had obtained a batch of noise-canceling headphones through a secret channel. To his surprise, the person demonstrating the product was none other than his seemingly useless wife. When she saw his astonished expression, she simply smiled. “Captain Chu, how do you like my product?”

Chu Junbai's gaze darkened, and he swept her up in front of everyone and carried her away.

Mu Xiaowan was pinned against the back of the office door.

Chu Junbai's eyes were deep, his voice full of reproach. “Madam Chu, how do you explain what happened today?”
