A Time Gate to the 1960s: The Military Bigwig Chases His Wife While Carrying Their Baby

Yu Jiaojiao, a pampered influencer from the 21st century, lives by the motto: “If money can solve it, it's not a problem.” Then, without warning, the basement of her villa turns into a time tunnel leading to the Gobi Desert in the great northwest in 1965.

On her very first transmigration, she lands straight in the bath barrel of Gu Chen, a cold and aloof major general and nationally renowned nuclear physicist.

Thinking she's an enemy spy, he glares at her like a knife. “Tell me, who sent you?”

She responds with a blast of pepper spray, giving him a taste of a 21st-century “greeting,” then tosses him a bottle of soda with a flourish. “This one's on me.”

And so Yu Jiaojiao begins her life as a peddler, moving goods back and forth like an industrious little ant. Modern snacks, fabric, and medicine are scarce hard currency in the 1960s, while vintage goods from that era can fetch a fortune in the modern world.

Meanwhile, the research bigwig she'd “molested” is forced to keep her under 24-hour “supervision” to monitor the mysterious “female spy.”

But as he keeps watch, things start to change.

She complains the food is awful, so he awkwardly cooks her special meals and gives her all the eggs he buys with his allowance.

She complains the bed is too hard, so he lays the wolf-fur mattress he'd been saving on it.

After a radiation leak traps them in a sealed room, he can no longer hold back amid the darkness and fear. He pulls her tightly into his arms and says hoarsely, “Don't be afraid. I'm here.”

Afterward, Yu Jiaojiao stares at the two lines on the pregnancy test, stunned.

Run. She has to run! She'll take the baby and escape back to the modern world!

But the moment she steps into her home in 2024, the man follows right after her and pins her in a corner, his voice trembling. “Jiaojiao, don't you want me anymore?”
