Modern therapist Lin Ruan opens her eyes to find she’s become the island garrison’s most notorious “troublemaking” military wife in the 1970s. From the start, the toughest regiment commander on the island, her husband, throws a divorce petition at her. Everyone laughs that she deserves it and waits to see her get kicked out. But Lin Ruan’s eyes turn red, and she melts into his arms. “Honey, how am I supposed to live without you if we get divorced...” She doesn’t fight back or explain herself. Instead, she sets out to play the ultimate innocent green tea. By day, she acts too frail to do anything for herself, turning the whole family compound upside down while giving no one a reason to blame her. By night, she pulls out every trick in her arsenal to make the abstinent officer, who’s as cold as ice by day, lie awake night after night, hoarsely asking her, “You little vixen, what more do you want from me?” She thinks she’s just winning over one man, never realizing he’s already built a whole world of safety around her, letting her do whatever she wants.
