Burning hot!
Passionate!
Pain!
A wave of pain surged through her…
But something wasn’t quite right…
Hadn’t she been in a car accident? Why did it hurt down there?
She opened her eyes and found herself completely naked, with a dark-skinned, muscular man lying beside her.
Wait…
Where was this?
How did she get here?
The next moment, memories flooded into her mind.
She had actually transmigrated into a book—the very novel she’d been reading before her car accident—becoming Su Qiangqiang, the capitalist’s eldest daughter from a 1970s-era novel, who shared her exact name?
And the man lying beside her was…
Lu Yunzheng, a regimental commander in a military region in the Great Northwest!
This was the very night when the original owner’s parents, having secretly reunited with their real daughter, deliberately drugged the original owner—the fake daughter—and Lu Yunzheng so they would sleep together. Their goal was to force Lu Yunzheng to marry her, thereby securing his protection for the Su family during the political movement!
In the original book, Lu Yunzheng deeply despised the original owner after their marriage—after all, her family had ruined his career prospects, leaving him permanently stuck as a regimental commander. The original owner herself didn’t fare well after accompanying the army to the Great Northwest, and in the end, she even died in a sandstorm after getting lost while trying to escape!
Until her death, the original owner never knew she was the fake heiress!
Meanwhile, the original owner’s parents and the real heiress thrived, living comfortably under the protection that came with being related to Lu Yunzheng!
Having recalled the plot, Su Qiangqiang was furious.
Why did she have to transmigrate at this exact awkward moment? It would have been fine if nothing had happened between them, but of all things…
She turned her gaze to the man sleeping soundly beside her.
Well, he was actually quite handsome.
A high-bridged nose, sharply chiseled features, and a body of lean, solid muscle—a true rugged, macho type.
But just as she was staring, lost in thought, she suddenly found herself locked in a pair of sinister, hawk-like eyes.
Lu Yunzheng was awake!
Their eyes met, and Su Qiangqiang felt like she could barely breathe.
Her mind went completely blank.
Before she could say a word, someone suddenly began pounding on the front door!
Su Qiangqiang froze, then realized it must be the original owner’s parents.
According to the original plot, the two of them were here to force Lu Yunzheng to marry her, using his status to shield the Su family from the imminent political movement!
And this marriage would be good for neither Lu Yunzheng nor herself. One would lose his future, the other would lose nearly everything. The only beneficiaries would be the original owner’s parents and that real heiress hiding in the shadows!
The only way to break this deadlock right now was—
To stop the original owner’s parents from forcing the marriage!
So she quickly said to Lu Yunzheng, “Quick! Put your clothes on!”
At Su Qiangqiang’s words, a flash of surprise crossed Lu Yunzheng’s gloomy face, but his hands moved swiftly, and he quickly pulled on his clothes.
Just as the two of them finished dressing and were about to get out of bed, the door to the room was slammed open.
The original owner’s parents stormed in!
The moment they entered, they began wailing:
“Qiangqiang! My poor child, you—how could you let this man take advantage of you!”
“That’s right, Qiangqiang. Our Su family is a respectable household. How will you ever marry after this? Your whole life is ruined!”
Hearing this, Su Qiangqiang stole a glance at Lu Yunzheng to see his reaction. Sure enough, his face was so dark it looked as though ink might drip from it.
Seeing him like this, she became even more determined that she could not marry this man!
He was too terrifying!
“Mom, Dad, what are you talking about? Nothing happened between me and Regimental Commander Lu!”
Su Qiangqiang put on an innocent, naive expression.
The moment those words came out, the original owner’s parents froze.
“Nothing happened?!”
The two of them couldn’t believe it.
Everything had been arranged yesterday, and to keep their daughter from backing out, they had even doubled the dose of aphrodisiac given to both of them—how could nothing have happened?
“That’s right, I got drunk and walked into the wrong room. Regimental Commander Lu, being a man of noble character, just stayed by my side and watched over me all night!”
Su Qiangqiang lied through her teeth, then shot Lu Yunzheng a meaningful glance.
But Lu Yunzheng only frowned as he looked at the three of them.
Last night, he had gone to pay his respects to the parents of a fallen comrade. This family had been there too, saying they pitied the elderly couple for losing their child. They had brought over some food, then dragged him into eating and drinking with them. After that…
He remembered what had happened between them the night before, and a flash of awkwardness crossed his eyes, though it quickly faded.
The moment he woke up, he had already understood—this was a trap set specifically for him.
But never had he imagined that this woman would actually try to cover for him?
Lu Yunzheng said nothing. He stayed silent.
He couldn’t yet tell whether this woman truly wanted to cover for him, or whether she was putting on an act together with her parents.
As for Father Su and Mother Su, they were nearly dying of anger. Why was their normally obedient daughter refusing to listen to a single word they said now?
The flames of the political movement would soon reach the Su family. They had gone to such lengths to set up this scheme, counting on Lu Yunzheng’s protection from then on!
Mother Su gritted her teeth and suddenly threw her arms around her daughter.
“My poor daughter, did they frighten you? Last night was your father’s and my fault—we didn’t keep an eye on you. Now that something like this has happened, don’t be afraid. Your father and I will definitely get you justice!”
With that, Mother Su clapped a hand right over Su Qiangqiang’s mouth.
As long as Su Qiangqiang couldn’t speak, she and her husband could force Lu Yunzheng into marrying her whether he wanted to or not!
Once that happened, with Lu Yunzheng’s protection, the Su family would no longer have to live in fear!
As for Lu Yunzheng and Su Qiangqiang themselves?
Who cared what became of them!
Su Qiangqiang especially—she wasn’t their real daughter anyway. After raising her all these years, she owed them, and it was time for her to repay the Su family!
“Regimental Commander Lu, we know you’re absolutely not the kind of man who shirks responsibility. Qiangqiang is only eighteen, an unmarried girl. Now that something like this has happened, if you don’t marry her, her whole life will be ruined!”
As Mother Su spoke, tears began to fall.
Father Su quickly chimed in: “That’s right, Regimental Commander Lu. No one wanted this to happen. If we weren’t left with no other choice, we wouldn’t force you to marry our daughter!”
The two of them, talking over each other, backed Lu Yunzheng into a corner.
If he refused, he would be irresponsible! He would have ruined a woman’s entire life!
Lu Yunzheng remained silent, the darkness in his eyes deepening.
He glanced around at the room’s furnishings—lavish and extravagant. This family must be capitalists. Setting aside the fact that he’d been trapped and had no desire to marry, simply becoming related by marriage to a capitalist family would be a devastating blow to his career…
Seeing that he was unmoved, Father Su and Mother Su exchanged a glance, and their faces darkened.
“Regimental Commander Lu, you should understand that as a soldier, if word got out that you had taken advantage of a woman…”
They let the sentence hang, saying nothing more.
The implication couldn’t have been clearer to everyone—it wouldn’t just affect his career prospects; Lu Yunzheng might even be dismissed from service and investigated!
The two of them hadn’t originally wanted to put it so bluntly, but who told Su Qiangqiang to suddenly side with an outsider?
Their true intentions were finally laid bare!
Lu Yunzheng’s eyes were fixed tightly on the two of them.
But right at that moment, Su Qiangqiang suddenly opened her mouth and bit Mother Su!
