Synopsis

[1980s + space + military marriage + period piece + raising children]

When Ruan Yushu woke up, she had landed in the 1980s. Her parents didn’t care for her, and she was forced into marriage. Her first husband died, and the second man proposed to her was a cripple. The third was an officer stationed on an island, with two children. He was tall and handsome, though, and had a good salary.

When she heard there was a chance to join the military family, Ruan Yushu said, “I’ll marry him. I have to. I’m going to make something of myself on that island.”

Just days after they married, the man started looking at Ruan Yushu strangely. She didn’t dare assume he liked her, so she pretended not to notice. Before long, he returned to his unit.

Ruan Yushu raised the two children on her own. One was mischievous and had a bad habit of stealing; the other was sweet and well-behaved. In time, she got both of them completely under control.

Ruan Yushu revived her old clothing business and made a fortune, enjoying the good life every day. The villagers were green with envy. Then the man sent word that she could join him on the island.

When they heard where she was going, the villagers waited to laugh at her. The island was dirt poor, and life there was bound to be miserable. Surely she’d get divorced before long.

The island’s conditions were harsh, and there were plenty of practical problems, but Ruan Yushu overcame them all. She raised the children while using her space, where money could generate more money and goods could multiply, to build a thriving life. Before long, she became the richest person in the country.

Her only worry was that her husband was too clingy. He could hardly take his eyes off her and wanted to sleep with her every few days.

Ruan Yushu said, “This life is something else. I’ve got money, but my body can’t keep up.”
