The Island Garrison
Sophia Carmichael had it all—beauty, wealth, and a charmed life for her first twenty years. That is, until her cousin got transmigrated and ruined everything.
Accused of being a capitalist, her entire family was sent to the countryside for "re-education." Just when she thought she could escape by marrying into a military family, her fiancé was stolen by that very same cousin.
Prideful and heartbroken, Sophia couldn't take the humiliation. In a fit of despair, she smashed her head against the wall—only to wake up years later, having glimpsed the future as a wandering spirit.
Well, guess what? She wasn't dead.
Her parents and eldest brother were being sent to the countryside? Fine. But if they had to suffer, so would her uncle's family—misery loves company.
Her fiancé called off the engagement? No problem. She dialed a number and married a high-ranking officer instead, securing her place in the military.
Her cousin, with her holier-than-thou act, tried to trample her into the dirt?
Too bad. Because John Caldwell made one thing clear: All she had to do was eat well, live well, and stay happy—he'd handle the rest.
John Caldwell had long since given up on ambition—until one day, a call came through.
On the other end was a young woman who boldly declared she was beautiful and wanted to marry him.
Lazy? Spoiled? Demanding only the best?
John had no choice. He rolled up his sleeves, abandoned his carefree days, and clawed his way up—just to keep up with his wife's expectations.
In the end, he became the highest-ranking commander on Tiger Island.
All because she refused to settle for less.
