A Marriage Swap in the 1970S: My Infertile Husband Has All the Braised Pork He Can Eat

Period Farming + Comfort Food + Marriage First, Love Later + Rough-Hewn Husband Dotes on His Wife + Military Life + Triplets + Contrasting Couples A sharp-minded, food-obsessed sweetheart vs. a stern military officer who protects his own! Lin Jiaojiao was born hungry in her previous life, and all she wants in this one is to eat and enjoy herself. Her reborn cousin, trying to escape a life of being married in name only, pushes her into marrying Gu Zheng, a man rumored to be badly injured and unable to have children. Lin Jiaojiao hears that Gu Zheng has a generous military allowance, a high rank, and access to all kinds of ration coupons for special goods. She’s in! At the military family compound, Lin Jiaojiao goes into “raising pigs” mode. She braises meat with spiritual spring water, stews fish with spiritual spring water, and makes pastries with spiritual spring water… The neighbor’s kids drool, and all the military wives in the compound come to learn her secrets. More importantly, after eating Lin Jiaojiao’s cooking for half a year, Gu Zheng, who’s supposedly “incapable,” starts looking at her differently. One night, Lin Jiaojiao rubs her aching back and wails, “Liar! You said it would only ease my fatigue!” Gu Zheng kisses her contentedly. “Your cooking was so nourishing, honey, it worked a little too well.”
