[Military romance in the 1970s, food, farming, devoted and exclusive couple, sweet pampering, doting husband, raising kids, dual pocket spaces, building wealth early on, later contributing to the nation through scientific research, settling scores on the spot, no handouts, a clever and highly skilled heroine who plays the pig to eat the tiger]

As the daughter of a top-tier wealthy family, Ye Weiwei only wanted to live a carefree life as a food blogger.

But her good fortune didn’t last. One day, she unexpectedly entered a male-oriented power fantasy novel and became the foolish, doomed wife of the future military big shot.

The original owner not only had something wrong with her mind, but apparently had a problem with her identity, too. She made life hell for everyone, squandered the male lead’s goodwill, and left the family with nothing to eat.

Ye Weiwei wasn’t worried. A rich young lady could handle hardship and enjoy the good life, and she was both talented and bold. From the start, she took over the cellar belonging to her wicked uncle and aunt.

In an era when the seas were closed to travel, she went up the mountains to gather wild produce and out to sea to catch seafood. Before she knew it, she had become a key national research talent.

As for men? She wasn’t particularly interested. For now, she could make do with a partner.

Remembering the original wife’s tragic fate in the book, having her eyes gouged out before being thrown into a dog kennel and bitten to death, Ye Weiwei reminded herself that a woman could be lustful, but must never lose her head over love.

Later, a certain officer panicked as he watched his wife become the darling of the whole country. He had fallen for her long ago and began trying every trick to win her back, but the road to winning her heart was long.

One day, drunk, he asked her with wounded eyes, “After living together for so long, what do you think our relationship is?”

She casually replied, “Roommates who work together.”

The officer was so furious he nearly spat blood. He forced through the paperwork to register their marriage and arrange a wedding, then announced it in the People’s Daily.

As long as he refused to agree, she couldn’t divorce him. Let’s see where she could run now!

Content warning: The male lead has adopted the two children of the person who saved his life. They’re lovable and help bring the leads together, and their identities become important later.
