Reborn in the 1970s: Joining the Army as a Military Wife

Su Xiaoxiao was reborn the night before her engagement was to be called off.

In her previous life, Su Xiaoxiao had thrown a fit and begged her parents to break off the match they had worked so hard to arrange for her. She insisted on marrying Mo Mu, a young intellectual sent down to the countryside, and returning to the city with him. She even threatened to take her own life.

Only after following Mo Mu back to the city did she discover that his entire family was crammed into a two-bedroom apartment. He had an idle younger brother and a sister still in high school, while his father was bedridden and his mother spent all day in tears. From the moment Su Xiaoxiao arrived, she shouldered the burden of caring for the whole family, while Mo Mu only had to focus on his studies. Without an urban household registration, she couldn’t get a ration of grain, so she took odd jobs whenever she had free time. The strain made her look forty when she was barely in her twenties.

She thought life would finally get better once Mo Mu graduated from college and was assigned a job. But on the very day he got his placement, Su Xiaoxiao learned that he wanted to break up with her. Only then did she realize that he had never wanted to register their marriage because he wanted to be able to dump her easily. She also learned that a childhood sweetheart in the city had been waiting for him all along, and that the two of them had been right under her nose. She had foolishly believed Mo Mu’s lies that he saw the other woman as nothing more than a little sister.

Reborn, Su Xiaoxiao wants nothing to do with the Mo family. All she wants is to live her own life in peace.

In her previous life, she looked down on the big, burly Zhou Qingshan.

This time around? “...He’s irresistible! I’m clinging to this golden thigh!”
