[Pocket dimension, military marriage, chasing his wife, beautiful doctor + rough, roguish soldier, mutual salvation, faithful to each other]
She transmigrates to the 1970s. Her husband is in a vegetative state, her in-laws are wicked, her brother-in-law wants to bleed the family dry, and her sister-in-law is a home-wrecker. The whole family refuses to split up the household and wants to enslave Song Zhen, working her like a beast of burden.
Fine. If you won’t split up the household, I’ll go crazy and make you beg me to leave.
Song Zhen turns the tables and puts the whole family to work like beasts of burden:
“Lu Jianzhou wet the bed again. Mother-in-law, hurry up and wash the sheets!”
“Father-in-law, Lu Jianzhou’s practically started to stink. Go give him a bath!”
“Whose sister-in-law is lazy and greedy? Get in the kitchen and make dinner!”
“Fourth Brother, perfect timing. Come wipe your third brother’s backside. He’s got shit all over the bed.”
The family is run ragged by her orders, and all they want is for her to hurry up and take her vegetative husband and start a household of their own.
Lu Jianzhou has a dream: in three months, he’ll be dead. No one in his family will cry for him, and he’ll die a horrible death.
Just then, the little substitute bride who had tearfully begged him for a divorce on their wedding night tells him she can save him.
She gives him acupuncture and massages, lifts the covers to turn him over, and changes his catheter bag.
Lu Jianzhou goes from embarrassed to numb, then gradually falls for her, his heart filled with nothing but her.
When he hears that her scumbag father and stepmother are plotting to ruin her virtue, Lu Jianzhou holds his breath and finally opens his eyes.
But when he wakes up, the first thing Song Zhen says is:
“Since you’re awake, let’s talk about getting a divorce.”
Lu Jianzhou’s thoughts are a mess. He doesn’t want to be a gentleman:
“No divorce. You saved my life, so I’m yours alive, and your ghost when I’m dead.”
