Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Darling: Catching Baddies in the Military District Compound

Gu Nian, a blade of a special operations unit, dies alongside her target during a mission. When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the 1970s, transformed into a three-year-old baby who can barely fend for herself.

Her grandfather is a military district commander, her father a promising young talent, her mother the military district’s most beautiful woman, and her brothers future generals. She becomes the military district’s little princess in name and in truth, cherished by her whole family and adored as the most pampered child in the compound.

But… why is there a “surprise” around every corner in this compound?

Auntie Li, who loves dropping by to bring eggs, keeps staring at Grandpa’s military maps. The new star of the art troupe sings with a tune that sounds like Morse code. Most outrageous of all is Lu Yan, the Lu family’s older brother, hailed as the military district’s “brightest hope.” He always wears a frosty expression that warns people to keep their distance, yet he sneaks over in the dead of night, climbs through her window like he knows the way by heart, and hauls her out of bed, saying, “Niannian, something’s come up. Help your big brother take a look, will you?”

Gu Nian: “…”

Help! I’m the family’s adorable darling by day, but at night I have to work overtime at my old job. This is too much!

Lu Yan pulls the little girl into his arms, his low voice carrying a hint of temptation. “Be good. Help me catch this one, and I’ll spend all the allowances I’ve saved on candy for you.”
