[Transmigration + Arranged Marriage + Sweet Romance + Age Gap + Fake to Real Couple + Mutual Healing]

Xu Ning thought she’d catch a break after transmigrating into a book—until she realized she was the early-dead village bride of a cold, nearly deaf ex-soldier.

The original Xu Ning hated her husband’s disability. He thought she was vulgar and backwards. The marriage was a mess from the start.

But running back to the village? Not an option.
So she decided to lay low, stash some secret savings, and wait for the 80s to come—then divorce and start her own business.

What she didn’t expect was that the cold, gruff man with the hearing problem had a hidden tenderness… and that the fake marriage would become dangerously real.

She’s selfish, sharp-tongued, and a survivor.
He’s silent, scarred, and surprisingly sweet.
Together, they just might heal what’s broken—one slow-burning moment at a time.
