“Ji Nanxi! Have you had enough of this?”
“If you want a divorce, fine. I’ll go submit the application right now.”
Lu Zhiyan’s face was icy as he looked at the woman before him, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart.
A month ago, following his grandfather’s arrangement, he had married the wealthy heiress Ji Nanxi in place of his older brother, who was secluded in a research institute and out of contact.
All because Old Master Ji had once generously supported the nation’s military campaigns in its time of need.
Grateful for Old Master Ji’s noble act, his grandfather had promised his grandson’s hand in marriage, leading to this marriage certificate.
After Ji Nanxi and he registered their marriage, Lu Zhiyan had to return to the military base that same day. He was then urgently dispatched on a mission for half a month, so the couple never consummated their marriage that day.
When Lu Zhiyan returned half a month later, he never expected Ji Nanxi to cause trouble every single day.
In the half month they spent together, the couple quarreled over minor issues every other day and had major fights every three days, turning their lives into utter chaos.
He truly couldn’t understand Ji Nanxi’s mindset—she would pick fights with him over the smallest, most trivial matters!
And so, even after marriage, Lu Zhiyan remained a pure and untouched young man.
This time, he received a military transfer order to go to Qiongzhou and serve as a garrison soldier on the island.
The transfer order came from his superiors, and Lu Zhiyan had no choice but to obey.
He genuinely wanted to discuss the matter calmly with Ji Nanxi, but as soon as he finished speaking, she unreasonably threw a tantrum, demanding a divorce.
Every time they argued, Ji Nanxi would threaten divorce—this wasn’t the first time.
Lu Zhiyan felt utterly exhausted. The half month he spent with Ji Nanxi was more mentally and physically draining than the intense training he underwent in the military.
Ugh…
So noisy!
Divorce?
She, a long-time single loner, what divorce was she talking about!
Ji Nanxi suddenly opened her eyes and took in the tall, stern man before her.
He had short, naturally curly black hair, eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, and a faint scar at the corner of his left eye.
Dressed in a fitted military uniform, his broad shoulders and narrow waist accentuated his tall stature and long legs!
Judging by his appearance, he was about 190 cm tall. Standing before him, Ji Nanxi looked petite and delicate, even a full head shorter than him!
Memories suddenly flooded her mind—this was the original host’s husband, Lu Zhiyan.
She was now in 1970s China, in a military family compound in Guangdong Province!
Ji Nanxi took a sharp breath—this was a military marriage!
If they really divorced, the original host’s fate probably wouldn’t be much better!
The next second, Ji Nanxi seemed like a completely different person. She threw herself at Lu Zhiyan, wrapped her arms around his strong waist, and cried out, “No, I don’t want a divorce!”
“Husband, I was wrong!”
“I’ll go to the island with you!”
Lu Zhiyan stared blankly: “…”
Was she putting on a Sichuan opera face-changing act for him?
Lu Zhiyan sighed. “Ji Nanxi, what trick are you playing now?”
Ji Nanxi flashed him a smile, tugged at the sleeve of his military uniform, and softened her voice. “Husband, I’ll go pack my things and leave with you right away!”
“The island is great—fresh air, and we can even go beachcombing!”
Lu Zhiyan frowned and pulled his sleeve back, his gaze scrutinizing. “Ji Nanxi, every time we argue, you always bring up divorce.”
“I’m asking you sincerely—do you actually want this divorce or not?”
The original host was asking for trouble!
Truly a drama queen!
How could she casually threaten divorce over something so serious?
Wasn’t she afraid of losing everything and ending up with nothing?
Ji Nanxi suppressed her inner shock and replied with a pitiful tone, “I won’t divorce, and I’ll never divorce!”
“Husband, when a woman says she wants a divorce, she’s really just hoping for some comfort from her man!”
“After we got married, have you ever comforted me even once?”
“You’re always scolding me loudly, saying I’m wrong here, wrong there.”
“I’m not one of your soldiers, so why are you so harsh and strict with me?”
Lu Zhiyan twitched the corner of his mouth, “…”
Comfort her?
Did he ever have the chance?
She would start causing trouble before he even finished three sentences—how could he comfort her?
But…
Come to think of it, his usual attitude toward her wasn’t exactly friendly, as distant and cold as he was with his subordinates.
She was right—Ji Nanxi was indeed not one of his soldiers.
Because the one engaged to Ji Nanxi was his elder brother, not him.
His grandfather said the situation was urgent, forcing him to step in and marry her.
Only this way could Ji Nanxi’s life be saved.
Lu Zhiyan couldn’t defy his grandfather, so he reluctantly married her.
Lost in self-reflection, Lu Zhiyan didn’t know how to explain this to Ji Nanxi.
He had no idea that Ji Nanxi was afraid he would harden his heart and insist on divorcing her no matter what.
So she resorted to making a fuss, turning the tables on him first!
Seeing that Lu Zhiyan remained silent, Ji Nanxi immediately said, “Husband, I’ll go pack my things and leave with you right away!”
With that, Ji Nanxi turned and went back into the room, rummaging through the wardrobe and stuffing clothes into a bundle.
Watching her retreating figure, Lu Zhiyan paused as his fingertips brushed against the folded divorce report in his trouser pocket.
Ji Nanxi… perhaps she really didn’t want a divorce?
He knew he wasn’t likable to girls, always wearing a cold expression. It was normal for Ji Nanxi not to like him.
Lu Zhiyan hesitated, but his voice remained indifferent as he spoke to Ji Nanxi in the room, “We leave at five tomorrow morning for the ferry at the dock.”
“Got it!”
Ji Nanxi replied without turning her head.
Seeing this, Lu Zhiyan turned and left to report to the political commissar that his family member had agreed to the transfer to the coastal post.
…
Inside the room, Ji Nanxi, while packing her belongings, inwardly sighed in relief.
Oh my goodness!
What kind of situation is this?
Waking up to a divorce battlefield right away!
Such a tall and handsome husband, and the original owner still managed to cause so much trouble!
[Congratulations, you guessed correctly!]
[The reason you’re alive in this timeline is because this system used Time Retracing.]
[In the book, the troublemaker Ji Nanxi got her wish and divorced. Later, during a secret mission, Lu Zhiyan was betrayed and died in battle.]
[Without the Lu family’s protection, the original owner eventually starved to death on the streets.]
[Detecting stable vital signs in the host, Interstellar Spacetime Mall System No. 110 is beginning binding…]
[Binding progress: 10%… 30%… 70%…]
[Binding successful!]
[Host: Ji Nanxi, 18 years old.]
[Current timeline: Blue Star, Gregorian calendar year 1976.]
[Location coordinates: Huaxia Country, Southern Yue Province, military family compound.]
[Newcomer gift package has been issued. Open immediately?]
Ji Nanxi’s pupils contracted sharply. The system’s notification sounded like a thunderclap, shattering all her understanding.
She was originally from 22nd-century Zhonghua Country. After dying, she transmigrated to the interstellar era, living a life of daily nutrient packs.
To fill her stomach and survive, she had no choice but to enlist in the military.
Only three years after enlisting, she sacrificed her life for her country.
When she opened her eyes again, she realized she had transmigrated into a novel!
And she had become the troublemaker with the same name?
Huaxia? Could it be a parallel version of Zhonghua?
Ji Nanxi took a deep breath and softly replied, “Activate the novice gift pack.”
