An Innocent Girl Seeking a Husband Was Deceived and Married a Childless Officer, Crying with Emotion

1970s Setting + Southern Good Girl + Northern Rugged, Protective Officer + Height/Size Difference + 11-Year Age Gap + Army Base Sweet Romance

Qiao Lanshu was born into a dual-income family in a southern provincial capital.

Quiet, well-behaved, and lovely, her family couldn't bear to send her to the countryside for re-education.

Instead, with a marriage certificate in hand, her parents put her on a train, sending her thousands of miles north to find her husband-to-be.

Her fiancé was supposedly a military officer, meaning she could live on the army base.

The moment she stepped off the train, the bitter cold knocked her out.

But an even bigger shock awaited her: she had been swindled into a fraudulent engagement.

Her "fiancé" was never in the army. He had been using a soldier's identity to scam her family for financial support, leaching off them like a parasite.

Feeling sympathy for her, the army unit's leader said, "Comrade Qiao is a good girl. Don't worry, we'll certainly arrange a proper officer husband for you."

And so, every unmarried officer below the regimental level lined up for matchmaking sessions with her.

Qiao Lanshu wasn't interested in any of them.

The unit leader, looking at her fair, delicate, and pretty face, asked gently, "Why not? What kind of man are you looking for?"

Blushing, Qiao Lanshu looked at the leader and said, "I... I like someone like you. Aren't you unmarried?"

The unit leader: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng was nearly thirty, unmarried, because a medical exam indicated he was infertile.

He had planned to dedicate his whole life to his country and remain single forever.

That was, until one late night, he found a delicate southern girl who had been left helpless.

The girl even said she liked him and wanted to be with him.

Qin Yuanzheng refused.

But after returning home, he tossed and turned every night.

After all, he was the one who found her. He truly couldn't rest easy entrusting her to anyone else.
