The 1980s: The Chubby Wife Makes a Stunning Comeback, and the Chaste Commander Regrets It

Su Manman, a top aesthetics professor, wakes up to find herself in the 1980s, in a residential compound where everyone despises her for being a 200-jin fat woman. The original owner had used her fathers’ old connection to marry the cold, celibate Commander Lu Zheng through underhanded means. On their wedding night, he sent her back to her room with a curt, “Please behave yourself,” and left her to sleep alone. Her in-laws looked down on her, the neighbors laughed at her, and her husband treated her like the plague.

Faced with this mess, Su Manman pinched the rolls around her waist and decided to set things right. She lost weight and got in shape, revealing a stunning face that left the military wives staring. She started a business and made a fortune, and even the mother-in-law who had once pushed her away began coming around to curry favor.

Once Su Manman’s figure was graceful and her beauty left everyone dazzled, she prepared to take back the divorce papers and leave in style. But the man who had once looked down on her changed his tune. One night, Lu Zheng cornered her in the cramped kitchen. His scorching breath brushed her ear as he said in a low, hoarse voice, “Manman, I was wrong. Don’t you think we should make up for all that physical training? Maybe... with some couples’ core-strength exercises?”
