On the Day I Broke Off the Engagement, I Married a Cool, Handsome Officer and Became His Sister-in-Law

Newlywed Romance + Military Marriage + Secret Crush

The Qiao family went bankrupt. The fiance whom Qiao Zhiwei had personally chosen in public and painstakingly groomed into a celebrated achiever called off their engagement on the spot. He advised her, "Be realistic. Your family could never repay this debt, not even in your next life. No one in the capital would dare marry you."

Qiao Zhiwei had chosen him for practical reasons back then, and now he was teaching her to be practical.

When Old Master Huo had asked her to choose, she had wisely avoided his dazzling older brother, Huo Jingnian, and picked the "gentle and obedient" Huo Jingchen instead.

Now, it seemed she had still been far too naive.

She decided to withdraw all the financial support she had once given him and start over in the 1980s, a decade when everything was waiting to be rebuilt. She knew that if she seized the right opportunities again, she would soon be able to repay the debt and get back on the road to prosperity.

Just as she was negotiating with the Huo family, Huo Jingnian returned. Standing at the door in his crisp military uniform, he said in a steady voice, "Now that he doesn't want you, you can choose me."
