[Face-slapping and putting scumbags in their place, a sweet and delicate girl with a dark side VS a sharp-tongued officer]
Regimental Commander Ji returned from the battlefield at a young age and quickly rose to a high position, but he suffered from severe PTSD and relied on medication and sweets to keep it under control.
One day, he rescued a woman from some thugs in a back alley.
She had large, bright eyes and dimples that seemed to hide honey when she smiled. To thank him, she offered to bring him some desserts.
Commander Ji should have refused, but somehow he found himself agreeing.
From then on, the decisive battlefield commander with a love of sweets seemed bewitched, sneaking over the wall every night to wait for a taste of her cooking.
It wasn't until one day that Commander Ji realized the woman was the very country girl he'd been avoiding: the wife his family had chosen for him in an arranged marriage!
Bei Mi woke up in 1983 as a cannon-fodder bride forced into a marriage in someone else's place.
Her worthless father wanted her to take the place of her spoiled stepsister and marry a cold-faced officer rumored to suffer from mania.
In her previous life, the original owner believed the rumors, mistook the officer for a madman, eloped, and died a tragic death.
Now, gazing at her own fair, beautiful reflection, she rolls up her sleeves and heads into the kitchen.
She can purify ingredients to make state-banquet desserts, and put troublesome relatives in their place. It's about time this life of good fortune came her way!
But...
Hey, hey, what's with you, cold-faced officer? Didn't you say you looked down on me, your substitute bride?
And where do you think those wandering hands are going?
A sweet girl has three tricks for winning a man's heart: dimples, desserts, and a slender waist.
A tough man has no limits when it comes to spoiling his wife: face-slapping, having her back, and dismantling every scheme.
