[1980s military marriage + career-driven beauty vs. cold-faced commander who pursues his wife + age gap + devoted couple + indulgent romance] The moment Shen Chuning opened her eyes, she had become a nobody in a period novel, bullied by her entire family. Blood was still running down her head, and outside the door, her grandmother was cursing spitefully: “You good-for-nothing girl, what are you whining about? It’s just a little cut, and you’ve been lying around all day! Get up and chop the pigweed!”
Shen Chuning touched her wound and gave a cold laugh. She was done putting up with this awful family!
Later, with her miraculous acupuncture skills that could bring the dying back to life, she gathered and prepared medicinal herbs, quietly curing an infectious disease that had left even the county hospital helpless. Bigwigs from every walk of life came seeking her help.
Later still, she used her consultation fees to buy a barren mountain and began growing rare medicinal herbs worth more than gold. Before she knew it, she had become fabulously wealthy.
The Shen family's parasites still wanted to leech off her? She flipped the table. “The old Shen Chuning is dead. The one here now is someone you can't afford to mess with!”
Just as the troublemakers were about to lay hands on her, the cold-faced commander who clung to her, begging for treatment and cuddles, appeared.
The man's indulgent voice sounded in her ear: “You save lives. I'll take out the trash.”
