The first time Xu Changxia met Jiang Yao in the main hall, the young girl’s skin was as white as snow, and her captivating, misty almond eyes were enough to steal anyone’s soul. The entire Jiang family gasped at her beauty. Only the man, clad in a crisp, sharp military uniform and radiating a stern aura, looked at her with a gaze that was flat, cold, and devoid of any emotion.
As a life-saving debt from the previous generation had to be repaid, and Jiang Yao was about to head to the battlefield with an uncertain future, the elders of both families urged them to get engaged and married as soon as possible. Xu Changxia nodded in agreement with shy reserve.
Their second meeting was on the night of their engagement. Xu Changxia waited for Jiang Yao under the lamp for a long time, but he did not enter the room. Just as she had finished tidying up and was drifting off to sleep, the man brought the cold night air inside and lay down beside her. “What exactly is going on between you and Jiang Chi?” Jiang Yao considered himself a man of integrity, yet he had inadvertently snatched away his future brother-in-law’s fiancé. At her request, he eventually allowed her to follow him to the military family compound on a small island.
Every time he returned home to the warmth of a lived-in house and saw her slender figure in light clothing, a sense of possessiveness gradually grew in Jiang Yao’s eyes. He wanted to claim her for himself, to make her his wife in every sense of the word!
However, Xu Changxia held a secret in her heart: she had been reborn. Knowing that Jiang Yao would die in battle in just a few months, she was determined to save him from that fate, no matter what.
