Transmigrating to the 1970s: A Military Wife's Guide to Modern Living

Ye Yao opens her eyes to find she has become the orphaned daughter of a fallen hero in the 1970s.

She has no home or food, and her maternal grandparents are old and frail. Her one advantage is that a deputy division commander has personally come to introduce her to a promising young deputy regimental commander.

The deputy commander doesn't waste words. He gets straight to the point: “Comrade Ye Yao, I want to date you with marriage in mind.”

Ye Yao weighs it up: military benefits are generous, the family compound is safe, and having someone to rely on is better than anything in these troubled times. So she nods without hesitation. “All right.”

She expects a marriage of convenience, with love to follow and the two of them simply making a life together. Who knew their life would grow increasingly passionate?

Ye Yao secretly delights: the deputy commander is excellent in every way.

The family compound is full of open and covert rivalries, while political storms churn beneath the surface. Ye Yao finds her footing amid the everyday household squabbles and quietly prepares for the storm that is coming.

She thought she had simply latched onto a powerful protector. In the end, she discovers that he had long been more than willing to let her lean on him for the rest of their lives.
