The Fierce Wife from the 1980S: Her Officer Husband Craves Her Every Night

[Sweet Romance + Food + Period Setting + Devoted Couple + Best Friends + Military Compound] Yu Miaomiao, a world-class chef, gets hit by a car. When she opens her eyes, she’s become a discarded young wife in a rural corner of 1980s Northeast China! Her fiancé publicly breaks off their engagement, her own father forces her to marry an old cripple, and a scheming woman steals her grandmother’s heirloom silver bracelet. Is this a hell-mode start? Yu Miaomiao smashes a jar of pickled cabbage and tears into the cheating man and his mistress. “When a five-star chef knows her way around a knife, you’re still eating coarse cornmeal!” With her peerless culinary skills, Yu Miaomiao turns simple ingredients into extraordinary dishes. One scallion-and-corn pancake catches the attention of Lu Chenzhou, a stern-faced military officer. He appears to be a cook, but he’s armed, knows how to drive, and is investigating an international secret. His eyes stay fixed on the silver bracelet on her wrist as he closes in, step by step. “Did this bracelet come from Bingcheng?” As they flee, she hops onto his old-fashioned bicycle and wraps her arms around his waist. “Comrade in the People’s Liberation Army, want to elope? My cooking is amazing!” She doesn’t know that the “W” engraved on the bracelet will uncover a promise made forty years ago: the last wish of a Soviet expert, a secret about a Bingcheng restaurant, and the hidden love her grandmother carried for half her life… And why does the officer, who’s always blushing, sneak into her kitchen every night? “Comrade, take these pig’s trotters. Can I trade them for your whole life?” She wields her ladle to fight off the worst sorts, while he uses his weapon to protect her future. As their love grows over time, he presses her against the stove. “Yu Miaomiao, marry me. I’ll let you manage all the grain I earn, and my heart will beat for you.”
