In the 1970s, I Followed Mom into a New Marriage with an Officer and Became the Compound's Darling

Jiang He, an heir to an ancient martial arts family, opened her eyes to find herself an eight-year-old “bean sprout” in the 1970s.

Her father died young, and her mother was a temporary worker. The two of them lived like blades of grass in a crowded courtyard, where anyone could trample them underfoot.

Then one day, her mother caught the eye of an army officer and was invited to join him at his posting!

Her stepfather was handsome and imposing, but he came with three difficult sons.

The eldest was cold as ice: “Women are nothing but trouble.”

The second was arrogant and overbearing: “You want to be my stepmother? Get out!”

The third was taciturn, watching her in secret.

The neighbors in the courtyard were waiting to laugh when the mother and daughter got kicked out. The families in the military compound were also eager to see the new stepmother and her “baggage” make fools of themselves.

But no one expected that the tiny body of Jiang He concealed the soul of a top expert.

When they provoked her, she sent a giant iron wok flying with one kick and bent steel bars with her bare hands.

Her three stepbrothers went from snarling wolf cubs to loyal dogs who wanted nothing more than to dote on her.

“Who dares bully my sister? I’ll break your legs!”

Later, she secretly nursed the frail young master of the Gu family, who wheezed after every few steps, back to health with spiritual spring water. He became her most devoted little shadow.

Her mother’s tailoring skills amazed the entire military district, her stepfather spoiled the mother and daughter rotten, and her three brothers protected her like the apple of their eye. Before she knew it, Jiang He had become the top-tier star of the compound, adored by everyone and feared by anyone who might dare cross her.
