70s’ Island Couple

Meng Yan was born a beautiful woman in a large courtyard, with eyes like autumn water and brows like crescent moons. Her appearance was as charming as a peach blossom, capable of captivating hearts with every smile or furrow of her brow. However, born as a daughter of a poor family, her beauty became a curse. At the age of eighteen, Meng Yan was relentlessly pursued by a paranoid man who threatened to ruin her if she refused him. To escape, Meng Yan volunteered for rural work, but the madman followed her! In desperation, Meng Yan’s father sought help from an influential friend to find a capable man to marry his daughter, hoping to end the relentless pursuit of the paranoid man. Coincidentally, the son of the influential figure’s friend, stationed on a remote island as a young and promising military officer, was of marriageable age. Though the island conditions were harsh, he was honest and handsome. The question remained whether a delicate girl like Meng Yan could endure… “I can! I’m willing!” Harsh conditions were nothing compared to escaping the paranoid man! +++ Jiang Shaoyu, a young talent, show no interest in others but the island life. After seven years on the island, he had served his country and organization well but had disappointed his parents. Despite their efforts to introduce him to several potential partners, he rejected them all. Then he received a letter with a photo of a girl. “Here’s a potential match for you, a lovely and gentle girl.” Indeed, she was beautiful and gentle, stirring Jiang Shaoyu’s heart after twenty-six years of solitude. Yet, remembering the harsh island life, he firmly declined. But before he could send the rejection letter, the girl arranged for by his family had already arrived on the island with his subordinates, who jokingly called her “sister-in-law.” His mother was right; the girl was indeed beautiful — with skin like jade and eyes that sparkled. “Hello, Comrade Jiang Shaoyu.” … Dressed sharply in military uniform with cold and resolute features, he looked at her with polite rejection. “Comrade Meng Yan, you still have a chance to change your mind. If you can’t bear the island’s conditions, I’ll have my subordinates send you home.” Meng Yan looked at the vast blue sea behind him and the desolate land, clenched her fists, and declared firmly: “No regrets. Comrade Jiang Shaoyu, I’ve made up my mind to be with you!” +++ Meng Yan transmigrated into a cannon fodder supporting character in a period novel. In the subsequent plot, Meng Yan was supposed to marry the paranoid supporting male character and endure a repressive and violent marriage. Meng Yan wasn’t a masochist. So, after transmigrating, she decisively changed the novel’s plot, choosing a certain island officer as her future spouse. She decided to dedicate the latter half of her life to the island. Honestly, that officer had a good personality and was quite handsome. No regrets there. Little did she know, after landing on the island, she discovered it was nothing like the barren and desolate place she imagined! Coconuts, mangoes, guavas, occasional sightings of wild animals… Gathering clams, crabs, and small octopuses by the shore with her partner… Barren land? Scarce freshwater? No vegetables to eat? Then let’s cultivate the land together and build a beautiful island!
