From Military Spouse to Island Life: Marrying a Roughneck and Raising Kids

[Sweet romance + neither has been with anyone else + childhood sweethearts + substitute trope + parallel timelines]

A dazzling beauty × a roguishly handsome, unrestrained military man

Lin Jianlu unexpectedly faints and wakes up in the body of a married woman in the 1960s. The moment she opens her eyes, she learns that she's three months pregnant. She accepts reality and prepares to welcome her new life, only to discover that the child's father might be her childhood sweetheart from her previous life. To get to the bottom of things, Lin Jianlu embarks on a chaotic life as a military spouse. Her daily routine is flirting with her husband, raising a child, growing medicinal herbs, hiking in the mountains, swimming in the sea, and listening to gossip.

She starts a small mosquito-coil workshop, gets a share of the profits from what will become the country's leading soap factory, studies under a renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine, and has a maternal grandfather who is the chief engineer of a warship... Life is wonderful when you can sit at home and watch the money roll in.

Little scenes

1. Shen Wenxi never imagined that one day he would willingly be mistaken for a substitute, the object of the saying “Wanyu may resemble Qing, but she isn't Qing.” After recovering his memories, all he feels is heartache for her.

2. After Shen Wenxi regains his memories, he completely sheds his former aloof image and clings to Lin Jianlu every day. Their married life is sweet and warm.

3. Ever since the little one heard that his parents' names came from the line “Deep in the woods, a deer appears; at noon by the stream, no bell is heard,” he has been trying to guess where his own name came from. In the end, unable to figure it out, he asks Lin Jianlu. She is frantically trying to memorize prescriptions, so she brushes him off: “Ask your dad. He knows.”

So the little one turns around and goes to find his father. Shen Wenxi says mysteriously, “You'll know when you grow up.”

The little one: “...” I'm little, not stupid. Adults are so strange!

P.S. The story takes a while to warm up, but every mystery planted early on will be resolved.

This is a fictional period setting. It has no connection to the real world.
