Alice Reeves had a face so sweet it should be illegal—even without smiling, she looked like she was dipped in honey.
But no one knew that beneath that sugary exterior beat the heart of an extreme sports enthusiast.
The day she earned her advanced diving certification, she eagerly set off for adventure—only to be caught in a plane crash.
When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into a melodramatic period novel, becoming the tragic heroine who was tricked by relatives into marrying an abusive man and suffering a lifetime of misery.
Staring at her reflection—a face even more stunning than the original novel's description—Alice decisively tore up the script.
Screw self-sacrifice. This big sister just wants to live a sweet, happy life!
So when her elder sister suggested, "How about... you go to the Great Northern Wilderness as a military wife? I know an officer—he's very reliable."
Alice's eyes lit up. "Deal! When do we leave?"
At 29, William Carter was the entire military district's "hopeless case."
With looks and skills that outshone everyone, he had zero interest in marriage, frustrating his superiors so much they were ready to arrange blind dates for him themselves.
That was until Comrade Ruan, the political commissar's wife, vouched with absolute confidence:
"My younger sister! She looks just like me—simple and hardworking!"
Though everyone was disappointed she wasn't a beauty, they understood—when it came to marriage, practicality mattered most.
Two weeks later...
When the stern and aloof William Carter appeared, leading a fair-skinned, stunningly beautiful girl who was as sweet as a ripe peach, the entire military base fell silent.
Watching the delicate beauty stand on her tiptoes to wipe sweat from William Carter's brow, the single officers collectively felt their hearts shatter:
"Big Sister Ruan!! You said she was just like you?!"
"Isn't this a bit too far off?!"
"Is it too late to sign up for the blind date now?!"
William Carter pulled the girl closer to his side and shot them a cold glare. "What are you looking at? My wife."
The entire base was even more stunned: Since when did the icy-faced officer become so possessive?!
