The 1970s: After I Lie Flat in My Military Marriage, the Cool Big Shot Falls for Me

Health and wellness blogger Su Qingxiao wakes up as the pampered, troublemaking supporting female character in a novel set in the 1970s.

The original owner jumped into a river to chase after the male lead, an army officer. The moment Su Qingxiao arrived, she was in the water herself.

Looking at the cold-faced man on the bank, Su Qingxiao acted at once: she didn’t need him to save her!

She pulled a ginseng root from her personal space and made up a story about being a barefoot doctor, clearing herself as an innocent bystander who had fallen into the water.

She thought they’d go their separate ways from then on, but then an order came down from the authorities:

“You two are getting married.”

After the wedding, Su Qingxiao switched to lie-flat mode:

While everyone else went through drills, she slept in;

While everyone else grew vegetables, she bought game meat;

While everyone else tried to win over the military wives, she busied herself brewing wellness tea.

Even the System pestered her every day: Get eight hours of sleep! No overexertion! Keep your emotions steady!

Watching his wife lounge around like there was no tomorrow, Jiang Yichuan was exasperated. “Can’t you have a little ambition?”

Su Qingxiao yawned. “My ambition is to lead you astray and get you to lie flat with me.”

Later

When he returned from a mission injured, she cared for him around the clock for three days and nights;

When he was falsely accused, she stood up and took on the whole crowd;

When he failed at romance, she gave him a sharp-tongued scolding, only to turn around and find he’d prepared a clumsy but touching surprise.

One day, Jiang Yichuan cornered her against the wall. “Su Qingxiao, did you decide from the start that you were going to have me wrapped around your little finger?”

Su Qingxiao blinked. “Commander Jiang, as they say, a melon forced off the vine isn’t sweet. But dip it in sugar, and it’s pretty tasty.”
