The Ice Commander Melts

Mia wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the role of the villainous ex-wife in a period novel. According to the original plot, she is caught attempting to elope, suffers assault, and is promptly divorced by her husband, Shen Yanchen—who later clears his name and rises to power in the capital, while she meets a tragic end. Determined to change her fate, Mia decides to feign devotion to save her marriage, planning to divorce Ethan Shenamicably after his rehabilitation. She cleverly avoids the assault crisis and wins Shen Yanchen’s grudging respect with her acting skills. However, he remains deeply wary of her, even insisting on using separate utensils, while the neighbors in the military compound mock her relentlessly. Undeterred, Mia uses her wits to outmaneuver the snobbish neighbors, starts a lucrative braised food business to gain financial independence, and even reclaims her bride price from her greedy family, earning Shen Yanchen’s admiration. Their relationship slowly warms through shared trials. When Mia is kidnapped by traffickers, Ethan Shendefies military orders to rescue her. When his relatives try to seize their home while he lies critically injured, she stands her ground—even pretending to be pregnant to scare them off. Unexpectedly, she later actually conceives twins, and Ethan Shenwakes up, spurred by her presence. The two finally open their hearts to each other. In the end, Mia gives birth, Ethan Shenis promoted to a high-ranking position in the capital’s military region, and the family of four thrives.
