Happily Settling Down in a Military Marriage Novel [1970s]

After crossing into an era novel, Xu Xia became the cannon-fodder female supporting character.

The original host had fair skin and beautiful features with a graceful figure – the prettiest girl in the Compound. But she was arrogant and insisted on stealing her cousin’s military officer husband, only to be utterly crushed by her cousin.

Xu Xia didn’t want to end up as cannon fodder – she just wanted to lie back and live comfortably.

Faced with the choice between marriage or being sent to the countryside, she decisively packed her bags to marry her Childhood Sweetheart.

Just off the train, seeing the tall, handsome man who looked exactly like the photo, Xu Xia shyly approached him. “Comrade, you must be my Childhood Sweetheart, right?”

~~

After his nephew fled from the arranged marriage, Zhao Hui was forced to take his place.

Only when he saw the photo in the young woman’s hand did he realize his nephew had intentionally sent the wrong photo, making her mistake him for someone else.

The young woman’s skin was whiter than snow, her soft tone utterly captivating. Almost against his will, Zhao Hui replied, “Yes.”

After marriage, Xu Xia truly lived a life of leisure. Zhao Hui handled all the household chores, handed over his entire salary, and would carry her if she had to walk more than a few steps.

The man was perfect in every way – except at night, when he seemed to have boundless energy.

On the day their twins turned one month old, Zhao Hui’s nephew returned to offer congratulations. But when he saw Xu Xia, he suddenly broke down crying, “This isn’t right, Grandma! Didn’t you say Uncle Xu was dark and sturdy, so his daughter must be… waaah…”

Watching his nephew being dragged away with a hand over his mouth, Xu Xia felt a warm, large hand rest on her shoulder. Zhao Hui’s eyes held infinite tenderness. “Xia Xia, the babies are hungry.”
