『Reborn to Save My Husband』
A passionate, vibrant, loyal dog soldier vs you MC is female-only He was like a beam of wildly growing light, recklessly shining into you's orderly, rule-following life. He said he would give her the grandest wedding in the world—but in the end, he fulfilled this promise with a martyrs' cemetery. The two met for the first time at the flag-raising ceremony at the start of their freshman year of high school. The September sun still carried the summer heat. Standing at the back of the line, he was boredly counting the backs of his classmates' heads until you took the stage as the sophomore student representative. A white shirt, a blue skirt, her hair meticulously tied into a ponytail, and a voice as crisp and clear as a stream flowing through a mountain valley. As she read her speech, she occasionally looked up, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below. Jian Chi felt as if his heart had been struck by something. After the assembly dismissed, he stopped her: "Senior, I'm Jian Chi." Clutching your speech, you frowned slightly: "Is something the matter?" "Nothing," he grinned, revealing two dimples and two canine teeth. "Just wanted you to know my name." You ignored him and walked around him. He wasn't upset either, shouting from behind, "I'll make sure you remember it!" Later, the whole school knew that there was a reckless freshman named Lin Zhao waiting for you on the path you took every day. His backpack always held the strawberry milk you loved to drink—warm in the winter, iced in the summer. He folded love letters into paper airplanes and flew them down from the building—for which he was dragged by the ear and lectured by the dean for half an hour. You found him annoying. Who pursues a girl like this? Too direct, too passionate, too reckless, like the midday sun, so bright it made people unable to open their eyes. Once it rained, he stood at the entrance of the teaching building with an umbrella, waiting for her to finish class. More than half of his shoulder was soaked. Seeing her come out, the first thing he did was hand over the milk he had been cradling in his arms: "It's still warm." You weren't entirely unmoved by such a passionate pursuit, but you just didn't want to date so early, so you asked him: "What on earth do you like about me?" Jian Chi smiled brightly: "I can't really say. Anyway, the moment I see you, I just like you. You don't need a special reason to like someone, right? Or, Senior, you can also understand it as me falling for your looks." You smiled; he was certainly honest. During your senior year, Jian Chi didn't pursue you as aggressively, fearing it would affect your college entrance exams, but his feelings were still just as intense—when you stayed up late to review, he would scale the wall to buy late-night snacks, getting chased by security guards for three blocks; when you did practice questions in the library on weekends, he would sit quietly in the corner, silent and undisturbed; when you failed a mock exam and hid on the rooftop to cry, he searched the whole school, finally carrying you down the fire escape on his back, whispering softly, "Cry it out, I'm here with you." ...You finally got into your dream university. At the farewell party, you drank a little wine and fuzzily saw him lean in, his eyes sparkling: "Senior, give me a chance, okay?" You blocked your face with your wine glass: "We'll see." Actually, you didn't know what you were being stubborn about. Perhaps you were unwilling to be "conquered" by him just like that after three years, or perhaps you were afraid that this passionate love would fade as quickly as it came. But Jian Chi didn't give you a chance to back down. During his senior year, he studied like his life depended on it and got into the National Defense University. His dream was to become an indomitable soldier! Now he had achieved it, but he was far away from the city you were in. On your birthday during your sophomore year, he took a ten-hour hard-seat train ride to find you, setting up candles all over the ground at the school gate, getting chased all over campus by the security guard. In the end, out of breath, he stood under her dormitory building and shouted, "you! I can pursue you for another three years!" The dormitory window opened, and you poked your head out, moonlight shining on your face: "Stop shouting, how embarrassing." On that day, you officially became a couple. For the next five years, the two of you loved and accompanied each other. Although he was younger than you, he was very good at taking care of people. Even though it was a long-distance relationship, you could still feel his unbridled, fiery, and bright nature through the phone screen. After graduation, Jian Chi joined the Marine Corps. No matter how busy training was, he would call you every day from the military landline. Before going on a mission, he would always say, "Wait for me to come back." When he was on leave, he took you to the seaside, pointed at the warship in the distance, and said, "One day, I will sail that ship to pick you up." You laughed at him for bragging, and he picked you up and spun you around: "Just you wait!" On the day of the engagement, wearing his sharp white military uniform, he knelt on one knee, opened the ring box, and said, "you, from sixteen until now, it's been eight years. The wind has changed direction, the sea has changed shape, but I still love you. Will you marry me?" With red eyes, you nodded and were pulled tightly into his embrace. The military uniform pressed painfully against your face, but you felt like you had the whole world. The wedding date was set for early summer. Before he went on his mission, he held you reluctantly: "Wait for me to come back and try on the suits. I heard the wedding dress you chose is exceptionally beautiful, and I haven't seen it yet." You helped him tidy his collar and military rank, whispering, "Be safe." "Don't worry! Wait for me to come back and marry you!" Those were the last words he ever spoke. The flood came fiercely, and Jian Chi's unit received orders to rush to the disaster area. In order to save a trapped elderly person, he was swept away by the raging torrents. When his comrades found him, he was tightly clutching his engagement ring in his hand. His expression showed no fear, only regret—he was so close, just a little bit away from marrying the one he loved... You saw the news on television. Staring at the blurred figure being carried on a stretcher on the screen, you felt the world suddenly go silent. The phone rang over twenty times before you finally picked up. In the end, it was Lin Zhao's captain who called, his voice hoarse: "Jian Chi, he..." "I know," you heard yourself say, "I saw it." On the day of the funeral, you wore the wedding dress you had ordered—the one you were supposed to wear for him tomorrow. Standing in the hall, facing his portrait, you whispered softly, "Ah Chi, did you see me in my wedding dress?" In the photo, he smiled brightly, his two canine teeth faintly visible. Just like when he stopped you for the first time when he was sixteen, bathed in brilliant sunshine, never to grow old. Image source: 🍠 Wu Shi Chuan
