Married Off as a Substitute in the 1980s, I Fall for a Disabled Officer at First Sight

(The rating will rise later, so please give it a read!) [Period setting + military marriage + stand-in bride + stepmother + devoted couple] (Entirely fictional setting) (The male lead suffers a spinal cord injury and is paralyzed early on, but will recover later)

Medical student Liu Yiyi dies suddenly after staying up all night studying for her finals, then transmigrates to the 1980s. The moment she opens her eyes, she finds her family pressuring her to take her sister's place and marry a paralyzed military officer.

“Even though Huo Yudi was injured, he'll receive compensation. You won't suffer if you marry him.”

“Then why isn't Sister marrying him? Why do I have to take her place?”

“Your sister is a college student. Should her whole life be ruined because of Huo Yudi?”

Liu Yiyi can't understand how her mother has the nerve to say such a thing. Is Liu Jingshu her daughter, but she isn't?

Seeing her family's blatant favoritism, Liu Yiyi decides on the spot to sever ties with them and go to the army. So what if her husband is paralyzed? She'll marry him. At worst, she'll earn money and support them both.

To Liu Yiyi's surprise, her bargain-bin husband turns out to be incredibly handsome. She can't help thinking she's struck gold.

The couple return to their hometown so he can recuperate, and adopt the two children orphaned by his elder brother, a boy and a girl. Nobody expected Huo Yudi's pretty, charming little wife to become the one holding the whole family together...

[The heroine has a golden finger and will make lots of money. Their return to their hometown is only temporary; before long, she'll join him at his army post.]
