The Lucky Little Bride of the Eighties, Doted on by the Commander

Su Wanxing opens her eyes and finds herself back in the cicada-filled summer of 1980. Her awful relatives are pressuring her to marry an old bachelor in exchange for betrothal gifts, and she has no way out. But she clutches the secret hidden in her sleeve: a spirit-spring dimension packed with supplies. While fleeing, she comes across a man covered in blood. When he wakes, his crisp military uniform accentuates his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His features are as cold and hard as a blade, but when he looks at her, his voice is slightly hoarse. “My name is Lu Zhanting.” Later, hoping to get herself out of a bind, she gathers her courage. “Commander Lu, how about... we get married? I’ll work like a horse for you, and you can keep the troublemakers off my back?” Lu Zhanting is silent for a moment, then places a large hand on her head. “You don’t have to work like a horse. Just be my wife.” After they marry, Su Wanxing discovers that this famously stern, taciturn military commander has no limits when it comes to spoiling her. Someone tries to sabotage her restaurant? The next day, the troublemaker is “taught a lesson” by a guard who just happens to be passing by. She casually mentions craving lychees from the south? Three days later, a box of fresh lychees, still flecked with ice, appears on the table. People sneer that she isn’t good enough for the commander? Lu Zhanting slams his medals on the table. “Who are you to criticize my wife?” With the help of her spirit-spring dimension, Su Wanxing heals his old injuries and uses her modern knowledge to build a career in the 1980s. Her life flourishes. Then one night, held in her husband’s arms, she hears his deep voice rumble in her ear. “Wife, can we change what you said about ‘keeping troublemakers off your back’ into ‘for the rest of our lives’?” She looks up into his star-filled eyes and smiles. “Of course, Commander Lu. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you.”
