[The 1970s + military marriage + joining her husband on an island post + raising children + seemingly aloof but secretly passionate man vs. sharp-tongued, innocent young lady]
The pampered young lady Liu Jiao was reborn, only to find herself in the body of someone in a strange era.
Mud-brick house, broken bed, worn-out quilt, chipped bowl... The place was even worse than the servants' quarters in her family home. The young lady, who had been treated like royalty since birth, burst into tears.
And that wasn't all!
The original owner's memories told her she was expected to work herself to the bone for her husband's family, only to die of exhaustion and leave all the benefits to his second wife.
The spoiled young lady had this to say: “Serve other people? Absolutely not!”
Whoever wants to do the housework can do it. She's going to make herself a good life again. Her mother always said that once a woman married, she belonged with her husband, and it was his responsibility to support her.
Can't afford new clothes? Write to her husband and tell him to send money.
Can't find malted milk powder? Write to her husband and make him figure it out.
Not enough money for living expenses? Write to her husband...
Far away at his army post, Li Lie had been receiving letters from home with increasing frequency.
Five years ago, while home on leave, he had rescued his wife from drowning. He'd rushed into marriage to protect her reputation, and there had been no love between them.
Seeing the large tear stains on the paper, he decided to go home and see what was going on.
The moment he stepped inside and saw the lovely woman smiling sweetly at him, he thought he'd come to the wrong house...
After he'd been home for a few days, two educated youths and three young men from the brigade showed up, all preening like peacocks for his wife. Li Lie said, “I'm filing the request. I'm filing it right now to have her join me at my post!”
In a nutshell: Beat the troublemakers at their own game, and leave them with nowhere to turn.
It's quite good to watch, the heroine doesn't feel offended at all, it's very enjoyable to watch. Even when the male protagonist said he wanted to go home, he didn't come back even after more than forty chapters.
Alas, I feel that the male protagonist is not the child of this family. [Pauses face] Parents should not have this attitude!
