The 1970S: A Feisty Military Wife Arrives at the Army Compound

[Period setting + face-slapping + military marriage + marriage first, love later + family and neighborhood life] Tao Tianxing was orphaned young and raised by her grandparents. After her grandmother dies, her uncle's family schemes against her, planning to marry her off to a bald widower in the neighboring village who has already buried two wives, in exchange for a bride price. Her uncle's family has it all worked out: once Tao Tianxing is married off, they'll get the house she leaves behind too, killing two birds with one stone. Tao Tianxing is already engaged. After enduring their cruel treatment, she is emotionally and physically exhausted and has a dream. In the dream, her childhood sweetheart has found someone new. His family already knows, but they've kept Tao Tianxing in the dark. The dream feels so real that Tao Tianxing decides to find him herself and demand an explanation. When she learns that everything in the dream has come true, Tao Tianxing decisively breaks off the engagement and sets out to make a living on her own. The old woman she rescues along the way turns out to have a hidden identity. Thanks to her personal charm, Tao Tianxing lands a job as the old woman's housekeeper. She will return to Yunxi Village, but not yet. She'll also reclaim her grandmother's house, and her uncle's family will pay for what they've done. When Tao Tianxing doesn't leave, her scumbag childhood sweetheart panics and teams up with his new love, hoping to drive her away. But Tao Tianxing has another card up her sleeve! The man standing beside her is none other than Jiang Xingquan, widely known for wanting nothing to do with women. “This is my wife. Come bother her again, and you'll regret it.” Tao Tianxing thinks Jiang Xingquan has changed a lot. His coldness when they first met was just an act. After they marry, he does a complete one-eighty. “Tianxing, I want to be with you forever.” “You're the only woman I'll ever call my wife.” Someone please tell Tao Tianxing why Jiang Xingquan is so clingy!
