Awakening in the 1970s: I Dumped My Jerk Boyfriend and Married an Officer

[Historical era + family life + face-slapping + second male lead wins + military marriage]

Lu Zhizhi had been engaged to Lu Chengli for four years, and she had waited for him all that time.

For his sake, Lu Zhizhi gave up her dreams, supported his ailing mother, and cared for his bedridden grandmother, all so he could pursue his literary ambitions.

But after four years of waiting, all she got in return was his betrayal and the contempt of her future mother-in-law.

Lu Chengli looked down on her for being uneducated, and his future mother-in-law thought she wasn’t good enough for her son.

Once she came to her senses, Lu Zhizhi decided to kick the scumbag to the curb and run!

They looked down on her for being illiterate?!

Too bad for them, she’d already received her admission letter from Kyoto University.

They said that since her engagement was broken, she’d never find a husband?

Too bad for them, she’d already remarried a military officer!

Lu Zhizhi had assumed Shen Xiuchi didn’t want to marry her.

Once they got to Kyoto, she planned to leave him and go live her own life.

But only after she married Shen Xiuchi did she gradually realize how deeply he loved her.

What she had thought were coincidences had all been part of his long-laid plans...
