[Entirely Fictional Setting: Military Marriage + Period Setting + Transmigration System + Twins]
Wu Xiaoyi, a miserable office worker who had just won a sixty-million-yuan lottery, dreamed of collecting her prize and throwing money in her boss’s face. Instead, she choked on a grape and died, transmigrating to the 1960s.
In an era when people couldn’t get enough to eat, she was the first “shrewish military wife” ever sent back to the countryside from the military housing compound for causing a scene and making everyone’s life miserable.
In less than a month at the compound, she’d freeloaded meals and snacks across three buildings, becoming a menace to the whole neighborhood. Her husband, a company commander, was so furious he nearly spat blood and could only send her back to the countryside.
Then, while she was up in the hills gathering wild greens, she stepped on a snake, got bitten, and tumbled down a slope, breaking her leg.
Her husband, the company commander, brought her back to the military housing compound again, but insisted on divorcing her!
What? A divorce as soon as I get here?
Did he really think an office worker who’d been trampled by society a million times couldn’t support herself?
Her husband, the company commander, soon realized that the woman who used to be lazy and shameless had become an “all-around wonder.” She could sew beautiful dresses, bring rice to her family, speak English he didn’t know, and even open several restaurants of her own.

At a restaurant, the company commander nervously held a bouquet of roses with three property deeds tucked underneath.
She didn’t want him anymore. Could he try reaching for someone out of his league just once?
Wu Xiaoyi strode over in sky-high heels. Seeing the husband who’d wanted a divorce, she clasped her hands behind her back and asked coldly:
“Weren’t you the one who wanted a divorce? Why did our meeting at the civil affairs bureau turn into a dinner date?”
“Wife, I was wrong. You’re all I see and all I think about. Let’s have a whole bunch of kids and live happily together.”
It’s all fun to insult your wife until it’s time to win her back. Now the company commander would be crying himself to sleep beside the bathroom…
