The Cannon Fodder Widow of the 1960s

When Jiang Ning wakes up one morning, she finds herself transported into an old-era novel—and she has become a widow whose husband has just died. To make matters worse, she is pregnant with her deceased husband’s child. The book mentions that the original owner’s husband died while carrying out a mission after taking a bullet meant for the male lead. Before dying, he entrusted his pregnant wife to the male lead’s care. By the time the male lead found the original owner, she had already been bullied to death by her second uncle’s family. Jiang Ning arrives just as the male lead comes to take her away. The man is dressed in a military uniform. He says to her, “Sister-in-law, Brother Zhou entrusted me with something before he died. I’ve come to take you to the army.” For Jiang Ning, who has arrived in this world with absolutely nothing, his arrival is nothing short of a lifesaver. . He Zheng owes Zhou Du his life, and the two men share a bond forged through life and death. Following Brother Zhou’s dying wish, he takes his sister-in-law to the military family compound to look after her. As the months of his sister-in-law’s pregnancy progress and her body becomes increasingly heavy and uncomfortable, He Zheng has no choice but to massage her legs to ease her discomfort. For He Zheng, who spends all year in the army surrounded by a bunch of rough, burly men, his sister-in-law’s body is far too soft and delicate. Every time he massages her calves, watching the soft, pale flesh spill between his fingers, and hearing her let out a faint, uncomfortable hum because of the pressure of his massage, it is torture for him. In He Zheng’s heart, Jiang Ning is Brother Zhou’s widow—his sister-in-law. He should respect her and maintain the proper boundaries between them. Yet every time, he is the one who first tears down the moral boundary separating them with his own hands. In public, he is courteous and keeps a proper distance from his sister-in-law. In private, he shamefully desires her, wanting to make her his. Every time he returns from training and sees the woman walking back and forth around the courtyard, the scent of milk lingering around her makes a despicable, shameful thought arise in his mind. —He wants to openly breathe in her scent. He wants to possess her completely. Later, when He Zheng learns that the man his sister-in-law had once mutually liked before her marriage has been transferred to their military unit and wants to take her and her child away so he can care for them, He Zheng tells the biggest lie of his life. He secretly alters the letter Zhou had entrusted to him before his death. He says, “Sister-in-law, Brother Zhou entrusted me with one more thing before he died.” Jiang Ning: “What is it?” He Zheng: “Brother Zhou said that after he died, he wanted me to marry you and take care of you and the child.” Jiang Ning: “???” ୨୧ ┈┈┈┈┈ ୨୧ ✦ ୨୧ ┈┈┈┈┈ ୨୧ Schedule :1/2 Chapters unlocked Every Friday ୨୧ ┈┈┈┈┈ ୨୧ ✦ ୨୧ ┈┈┈┈┈ ୨୧ — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Cannon Fodder Widow of the 1960s — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
