Chapter 1 A Demoness Transmigrates as a "Drama Queen" Military Wife
"Wuwu, have you packed everything? I've got the boat tickets. After tonight, we'll head to Xiangcheng, and no one will be able to stop us then!"
A slick male voice rang in my ears, carrying an unsettling urgency.
Jiang Wu's consciousness was pulled back from the chaotic flashes of lightning. Before the stinging pain in her soul had subsided, this voice drilled into her mind.
She opened her eyes.
What comes into view is a mottled, peeling, earthen-yellow wall, with a faded poster on it that reads "Be vigilant and defend the motherland."
The air was filled with the salty smell of the sea breeze, mixed with the musty smell of old wooden furniture.
Where is this?
Isn't she undergoing the ninth tribulation of ascension?
How could she have ended up in a place where the purple-gold lightning had destroyed her soul?
A memory that didn't belong to her flooded in.
Jiang Wu, nineteen years old, married Qin Lie, the regimental commander of the troops stationed on the island, a year ago.
Because of her good looks, she was spoiled by her family from a young age, which led to her developing a lot of "drama queen" traits.
After getting married, she couldn't stand the austerity and monotony of the island, and she also disliked her husband Qin Lie for being an unromantic and cold-hearted man who only knew about the military all day long.
So, under the sweet-talking offensive of Zhou Mingyuan, an officer in the cultural troupe, she impulsively agreed to elope with him.
Tonight is the agreed-upon day.
The suitcase was placed next to the bed, containing all the valuables in the house—a few polyester shirts, two watches, and Qin Lie's allowance that he had just received this month.
After digesting all this information, Jiang Wu almost couldn't catch her breath.
She, the most talented demoness of the Hehuan Sect, had cultivated for a thousand years and was about to ascend to immortality, but at the last moment she was struck by heavenly lightning and entered the body of such a love-struck person.
They even eloped?
With a slick-haired, pretty-boy?
Abandoning a... military officer husband?
Jiang Wu sat up and looked at her new body.
The person in the mirror had skin as white as snow, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, and long, jet-black hair that cascaded over their shoulders like seaweed.
She was a natural beauty, but the spoiled and impatient air about her ruined her overall beauty.
But it doesn't matter, the foundation is excellent.
Jiang Wu revealed a satisfied smile.
She looked again at the open suitcase, which contained very little.
The original owner was such a fool. For such a small thing, she wanted to run away with a wild man. She really disgraced her fellow "Jiang Wu".
She slowly stood up, walked to the trunk, took out the clothes one by one, and put them back in the wardrobe.
She took out the few brand-new bills and tucked them into a red-covered booklet.
Just as I finished doing all this, the door creaked open from the outside.
A tall, imposing figure walked in against the light, completely blocking the doorway.
The man was dressed in a crisp green military uniform, the epaulets reflecting a cold, hard light in the dim light.
He had a pine-like figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his long legs were encased in military trousers, outlining a powerful silhouette.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone from behind him, casting a golden outline around him, but it did nothing to diminish his imposing and piercing aura.
His features are as if they were meticulously sculpted with the sharpest knife, each one perfectly handsome.
His jawline was taut, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
When his gaze fell upon her, Jiang Wu felt the temperature in the entire room drop several degrees.
This is her husband, Qin Lie.
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up.
This...this is simply...
A true gem!
That strong, powerful waist, that physique brimming with masculine vigor, that powerful will and vitality emanating from its very bones…
This was clearly the most advanced "furnace" she had ever seen in her thousands of years of cultivation!
As long as I can cultivate with him, not only will I be able to return to my peak, but I might even be able to ascend to immortality in broad daylight!
The original owner was such an idiot, how could she give up such a perfect guy and run away with that greasy guy outside who was full of bad intentions?
It's like the sea breeze has blown their brains out!
Qin Lie's gaze swept around the room, finally landing on the suitcase beside the bed that had been opened and emptied. His dark eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.
He had just returned from the training ground when he heard the rumors circulating in the camp.
He said his new wife was throwing a tantrum again, complaining that he didn't have time for her and insisting on going back to her parents' home.
He thought she was just throwing a tantrum like usual, but he didn't expect that she had even packed her luggage.
Is he really planning to leave?
"Jiang Wu".
He spoke, his voice as cold and hard as he was, like two stones rubbing against each other.
What are you doing now?
His tone was filled with suppressed anger and deep weariness.
Over the past year, he has dealt with too many troubles she caused and dealt with too many of her unreasonable demands.
He is a soldier, and protecting his country is his duty.
He doesn't have the time or energy to deal with a wife who is never satisfied and is always making a fuss.
If it were in the past, the original owner would have jumped up and started throwing a tantrum long ago if he had heard his questioning tone.
They would either point at his nose and scold him for being unromantic, or they would wail and complain about their miserable lives.
But today, the hysteria I had anticipated did not occur.
The woman opposite him simply looked at him quietly. In those beautiful eyes that were always filled with impatience and criticism, there was now a kind of hook-like light that he had never seen before.
That gaze was as if assessing a rare treasure, moving from his brow bone to the bridge of his nose, then to his tightly pursed thin lips, and finally settling on his meticulously buttoned collar.
Qin Lie felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze.
In his twenty-six years of life, this was the first time a woman had looked at him with such blatant and undisguised eyes.
This gave him the illusion that he was the prey.
"Have you seen enough?" He frowned, his voice growing even colder.
Instead of restraining herself, Jiang Wu walked towards him.
She wore a slightly worn cloth dress, yet she walked with a graceful and charming demeanor.
She walked up to him, tilted her delicate face up, and her eyes glistened with tears, as if they were filled with spring water.
"Honey, you're back."
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a natural charm, like a feather gently brushing against one's heart.
Qin Lie tensed up completely.
He had never heard Jiang Wu speak to him in such a tone before.
Previously, she would either call him by his full name "Qin Lie" or simply use "Hey" instead.
The word "husband" coming from her mouth made him feel both unfamiliar and dangerous.
He instinctively took half a step back, trying to create some distance.
But Jiang Wu followed, her slender fingers gently grasping his sleeve.
Her fingertips were warm, and through the thin fabric of her military uniform, the warmth seemed to be branding his skin.
"You..." Qin Lie's words caught in his throat.
He saw Jiang Wu reach under her pillow and pull out a folded piece of paper.
It was the divorce report that he had already signed.
He had long been fed up with this exhausting marriage. As long as she signed the papers, they would part ways and go their separate ways.
He thought that when she took it out, it meant she had finally made up her mind to sign.
This can be considered a kind of relief.
But the next second, Jiang Wu's actions completely stunned him.
In front of him, she used her delicate hands to tear the divorce report into pieces, bit by bit.
Paper scraps drifted down from her fair fingers like snowflakes.
"This kind of thing is too unlucky."
As she spoke, as if that wasn't enough, she gathered the fragments together, walked to the window, and scattered them with a flick of her wrist.
White pieces of paper fluttered in the sea breeze and scattered into the grass in the yard.
After doing all this, she turned around and gave Qin Lie, who was dumbfounded, a smile that could captivate anyone.
"Honey, let's live a good life together from now on, okay?"
That smile was like a night-blooming cereus quietly blooming in the darkness, breathtakingly beautiful, yet also carrying an indescribable eeriness.
As Qin Lie looked at her, a strong, uncontrollable sense of unfamiliarity welled up in his heart for the first time.
Is the woman in front of him still his wife Jiang Wu, who only knows how to throw tantrums and cry?
