I Followed Mom to Remarry into a Military District, and This Capitalist Heiress Can Talk to Animals

[1970s setting + military marriage + born into the era + adored by everyone + pocket dimension + building wealth]

[Hot-blooded, reckless little sunshine vs. cold-faced, scheming military officer]

Jiang Le Yi had just broken the world record in the 100-meter dash when, the next second, she was born into a small fishing village in the 1970s.

There was no rice at home, so Dad gritted his teeth and went to the provincial capital's warehouse dance hall to work as a male model and dance the cha-cha.

Before leaving, he told her mother, “Yufen, if I get caught, you can remarry.”

A rich woman took a liking to Dad. He went to live off her in a big mansion and became her kept man.

Then he kicked the bucket.

On the anniversary of his death, Mom turned away to wipe her tears, but couldn't help bursting out laughing.

I covered for her with a sneeze, and a military overcoat was thrown over my head.

“Call me Dad.”

Jiang Le Yi followed her mother into a new marriage. As soon as she arrived at the Lu household, she won everyone over with her sweet talk and helpful ways, as soft as a ball of cotton candy.

But her eldest brother dumped her in the arms of gangsters, her second brother tricked her into stealing melons, and her third brother put salt in her porridge, though he meant to add sugar.

Her brothers took her to “do good deeds” in the fields of the most fearsome farmer within a ten-mile radius.

How many steps did it take to pick a winter melon? She rolled up her sleeves: high jumps, weighted pushing and pulling...

She carried a 200-pound winter melon right into the farmer's courtyard.

How many steps did it take to juice a watermelon with your bare hands?

Her three brothers stared in disbelief, their legs going weak and their hearts trembling...

Who says the unwanted child in a blended family is doomed to a hard life?

Then why was there a sign in the Lu family's living room that read: “Working hard to make Jiang Le Yi a rich second-generation kid!”?

A handsome young man moved in next door. The dazzling “white moonlight” of the military compound soon became her eager little sidekick.

At the wedding, she grabbed a white sheet, climbed onto a chair, and tried to prank her eldest brother by imitating A Chinese Ghost Story.

Just then, Zhou Boyu opened the door, and their eyes met...

She gritted her teeth and scrambled up the rope. “Swinging is so much fun.”

One night, the cool and reserved Officer Zhou said, “Keep swinging. I'll push you myself.”

I was an Olympic hurdling champion, with parallel bars and uneven bars as my minor events. What could I possibly be afraid of?
