In the 1980s, I Swapped Marriages and Married a Commander, and Hit the Jackpot

[Transmigration + substitute marriage + military marriage + devoted couple + sweet romance + everyday life with the troops + alternate setting]

Yun Duan transmigrates into the 1980s, only to discover that her own mother favors her stepsister. Her mother burns Yun Duan’s university acceptance letter, demanding that she earn money to put her stepsister through college. Now she is even helping the stepsister steal Yun Duan’s marriage, pushing her toward a disastrous life.

In a fit of anger, Yun Duan cuts ties with her mother, slings a snakeskin sack over her shoulder, and marries into a military camp to become a soldier’s wife.

Rumor has it that the soldier Yun Duan is supposed to marry is so ugly he scared her stepsister to tears on their blind date, and that he will soon leave the army and return to his hometown.

But when Yun Duan arrives at the base and meets him, she learns her stepsister went on the wrong blind date. The soldier is not ugly at all: he is devastatingly handsome and has won countless military honors!

However, his older sister has also joined the army family, and her mouth is filthier than a latrine. Even worse, one outrageous in-law after another soon shows up.

Yun Duan says it’s no big deal. As long as her soldier husband is on her side, even the most outrageous relatives will turn around and treat her like the family’s darling, protecting her as if she were their most precious treasure.

After her stepfather and stepsister’s family drain her mother dry and throw her out, she sees in the newspaper that Yun Duan has become a high-ranking official’s wife and the richest woman in the country, with a happy marriage, a successful career, and children of her own. Her mother weeps, consumed by regret.

After getting married, the stepsister suffers domestic abuse and a miscarriage. She assumes Yun Duan must be suffering in the countryside by now, enduring the same abuse and hardship, broke and toiling in the fields, with an even worse life than hers.

She never expected Yun Duan to become the richest woman in the country, someone her own husband can only dream of currying favor with, or to enjoy a happy marriage and a house full of children.

The soldier she once refused to marry turns out to wield immense power and be exceptionally handsome. He cherishes Yun Duan as if she were the apple of his eye, and even her in-laws dote on her endlessly…
