Reborn as a pitiful cannon-fodder girl in the 1970s, Su Wan opens her eyes to find her awful family forcing her into a substitute marriage:
They're marrying her off to an iron-fisted regiment commander who's rumored to bring misfortune to his wives, has a child, and is hardly ever home.
The whole village laughs, saying her life is over.
But who knew she's a medical genius, equally skilled in Chinese and Western medicine, with a magical space and spirit spring? She has no qualms about taking down the worst offenders!
On the train, she joins forces with a mysterious, handsome man to catch human traffickers, not knowing he's her future husband.
As soon as she arrives at the military compound, she finds a military wife in difficult labor, being driven to her death by her vicious mother-in-law.
She immediately snaps, “Are we saving the mother or the baby? That's for me to decide!”
With her astonishing medical skills, she delivers the baby and leaves the entire compound stunned.
Then the handsome commander strides over and announces in a deep voice:
“She's my wife, Lu Zhengting's. Who dares lay a hand on her?”
Everyone is dumbfounded: the mysterious handsome man was the commander all along!
From then on, a new legend spreads through the military compound:
The commander's beautiful, ruthless stepmother is a medical miracle worker who pampers the kids rotten,
And the stern-faced commander dotes on her like she's his most precious treasure. Anyone who crosses her is in for trouble!
Su Wan says:
So what if I'm a stepmother? So what if it's a military marriage?
I'll still crush scoundrels, build my career, charm a tough soldier, and raise adorable kids.
Reborn once, I'm going to enjoy life to the fullest!
