Episode 1: I Like Snowy Days, But I Like You More. I Agree to the Divorce. The frontier is harsh and cold—I never wanted you to go in the first place. Take this money for yourself.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
Divorce?
Huh? She didn’t even have a boyfriend—what kind of divorce was this supposed to be?
Looking at the man before her—sharp brows and bright eyes, a straight nose, broad shoulders and narrow waist, exuding overwhelming charm—Jiang Ning’s eyes sparkled even brighter than the stars in the night sky.
Had she transmigrated?
Everything this male lead said… was exactly the same as the lines from that period novel she remembered.
Most importantly, He Linzhou himself was outrageously handsome—far more attractive than those top idols from her previous life.
“Don’t catch a cold. Cover yourself well when you sleep, eat on time. When I’m not by your side in the future, you must take good care of yourself.”
He Linzhou’s gaze dimmed slightly as he carefully gave her every instruction.
Jiang Ning laughed, her eyes curving beautifully, carefree and bold.
“Hmph, if you’re not by my side, how am I supposed to take care of myself?”
He Linzhou suddenly looked up, flustered and unsure. His voice turned low and heavy.
“And… don’t talk to strangers.”
Jiang Ning burst out laughing.
“So you really want a divorce that badly?”
Caught off guard, He Linzhou stammered in panic.
“I- it was you who brought up the divorce! I… I could never bear to!”
At that moment, both of them blushed deeply.
Especially Jiang Ning, who had just transmigrated—she was completely shaken by the male lead’s overflowing affection.
In the original story, the heroine was a capitalist heiress who grew up pampered, outspoken, and emotionally intense.
He Linzhou, her childhood sweetheart, had loved her deeply for years. After finally marrying her, they hadn’t even consummated the marriage before two blows struck: his infertility and his deployment to the border.
The original Jiang Ning had never suffered a single hardship in her life. So before leaving for the border, she cried, made a scene, and even threatened suicide, relying on He Linzhou’s boundless affection to force a divorce.
He Linzhou, injured in service and unable to have children, had a medical report confirming it in black and white—giving her what seemed like a “valid” reason to leave. The harsh border conditions gave her another.
Any single reason alone was enough for him to never let her suffer.
After the divorce, without He Linzhou’s protection, the stepmother revealed her true colors, schemed against her, and ultimately pushed her into the freezing moat where she drowned.
The stepmother and scummy father, having already seized the Jiang family fortune, fled abroad before the storm of investigation hit, living comfortably and luxuriously.
When He Linzhou learned of her death, he rushed back overnight, took her ashes away, and eventually dedicated his life to the country—dying alone, never remarrying.
Recalling all this, Jiang Ning smiled sweetly and grabbed He Linzhou’s hand.
“I’ll be going with you to the border anyway. It’s a long journey by car—you don’t want me staying behind, do you?”
He Linzhou froze.
Lowering his gaze, he said hoarsely, “Even if I can’t bear it… I have to. I can’t drag you down.”
“Tch, such a handsome man saying such sweet words so easily,” Jiang Ning thought.
Silence fell again.
“Going with you?” she suddenly asked. “What do you mean by that?”
He Linzhou finally reacted.
“You… you’re saying you’ll follow me to the border?”
Jiang Ning raised a brow and nodded.
“But my medical report…”
He Linzhou’s expression darkened. As a man, he felt unworthy—he couldn’t give her a complete family.
“That report might not be accurate,” Jiang Ning said casually.
In the novel, one of the doctors in the examination team had been the stepmother’s nephew. There was definitely something suspicious.
“Maybe they tampered with it.”
“Jiang Ning… you still think I’m fine?” His deep eyes locked onto hers, filled with uncertainty.
Jiang Ning met his gaze and smiled.
“You are the man I’ve chosen. So what if you can’t have children? As long as you’re with me, that’s enough.”
She knew very well she was just a supporting character in the story. Without the protection of fate, surviving meant clinging to the male lead.
Besides… He Linzhou was just too handsome. He was practically carved into her ideal type.
And as for the border?
It wasn’t winter all year round. There would be sunny days too. With him taking care of her, how hard could it really be?
He Linzhou was stunned for a long time.
He had spent days convincing himself to let go of her hand and give her freedom.
Yet now, the woman he loved was saying she wanted to follow him to the frontier.
Overwhelmed with shock and joy, he asked again, “Are you sure you’re coming with me?”
“Absolutely sure.”
Jiang Ning stared at his face, practically enchanted.
“And what about your uncle and the others? Will they agree?”
He Linzhou was always considerate and respectful, especially toward her family. If he was going to take the Jiang family’s daughter to such a harsh place, he needed their approval.
At the mention of “uncle,” Jiang Ning sneered.
“He doesn’t deserve that title. My only family is my late grandmother, grandfather, and mother.”
The original Jiang Ning’s memories surfaced, and anger flared in her chest.
If she was now wearing this body, then she had every responsibility to clean house.
There were still half a month before departure—enough time to deal with everything.
“I support whatever you decide,” He Linzhou said softly, “I just worry you won’t adapt there.”
The northeast border was bitterly cold in winter, snow piling up to the knees, and supplies were scarce.
“I like snowy days,” Jiang Ning said softly, smiling, “and I like you even more.”
He Linzhou’s heart softened instantly.
Seeing her resolve, he pulled her into his arms.
“I can’t promise I have… that ability, but at least in that aspect, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
They had been married, but never consummated the marriage—partly because of his condition, partly because she refused to follow him.
Now, both of them turned red instantly.
“…So that means you’re not sure?” Jiang Ning teased.
She suddenly felt mischievous.
The usually obedient man before her suddenly smirked, lifting her chin with a bold, almost rogue expression.
“Wife… we won’t know until we try.”
