A Thousand Li to Reach You: A Marriage Contract on the Gobi

(Period setting · Army marriage · Marriage first, love later · Childhood betrothal · Age gap · No cheat ability)

A three-thousand-kilometer road across the Gobi, and a marriage contract that sends her far away.

On their wedding night, he said, "It was our parents' order."

She said, "I know."

Later, he built her a toilet, put up a bathroom, and bought her a sewing machine.

She mended his socks, patched his military uniform, and waited for him to come home.

When he was injured, she guarded him for three days and three nights with a swollen belly.

When she took the college entrance exam, he held the baby in one arm and handed her water with the other.

From the Gobi to Beijing, from strangers to people who cannot live without each other.

He said, "Lin Xiaoman, this marriage is no longer just our parents' order."

A journey of a thousand miles is you; a journey home of ten thousand miles is family.
