In her previous life, she was Shanghai's finest surgeon, a legend in medicine. But worn down by exhaustion, she died of overwork at the operating table, never once knowing the warmth of a family.
When she opened her eyes, she had been reborn in the resource-scarce 1970s as Lin Su, a “fallen woman” cast out by her husband's family and treated like a burden by her own, with newborn twins to feed.
From the start, it was hell mode: her own mother wanted to sell her to an old bachelor in the village, using the bride price to find a wife for her younger brother, while her two children were starving and gaunt.
Lin Su gave a cold laugh and struck back with a silver needle, saving the brigade secretary's only son and winning herself a chance to survive. From then on, she cut ties with her family, established her own household, and built her career!
With her miraculous medical skills, she gathered herbs, made medicinal dishes, and treated the sick, carving out a way to survive in those extraordinary times. After saving enough for the journey, she set off north with her two exceptionally clever children, searching for their father, whose only token of proof was a military merit medal.
When she knocked on the tightly shut door of the military compound, the person who opened it was none other than the compound's coldest, most unfeeling man, an ascetic regiment commander nicknamed the “Living Yama”: Lu Tingyuan.
The man looked at the two little ones behind her, who were almost exact copies of him, and for the first time, the ice on his face cracked.
“Reporting, Commander. I... may have come to the wrong place.”
But the man grabbed her wrist, his dark eyes deep and serious. “No, you came to the right place. Come inside. We need to discuss custody of the children... and a marriage application.”
From then on, the cold and abstinent Commander Lu became utterly devoted to his wife. By day he drilled his troops, and at night... he knocked on her door every single night, claiming it was to “strengthen the parent-child bond.”
A short skit
I burst into tears when I read it. I felt like I was writing about my own life. I was so moved.
Very good-looking, the heroine is very powerful and thoughtful
Come on, come on, I'm optimistic about you
There are so few ratings, but I still give five-star praise to encourage the author to continue working hard.
The heroine is very strong and capable, and the storyline is compact and smooth without being wordy.
Who doesn't take their valuables with them?
