[Military Marriage in the 1970s, All the Men Compete for Her, Food, Ex-Husband's Redemption]
On her wedding night, Su Wanwan became a widow. Her in-laws immediately tried to sell her to a fool, so they could use the money to find a wife for her younger brother-in-law.
She took the compensation money and fled overnight to a military district on an island thousands of miles away. She had hoped to find shelter, but was mistaken for an enemy spy and nearly deported.
Just when all seemed lost, five comrades of her late husband, all his “sworn enemies,” showed up at her door. Every one of them was the military district's wildest troublemaker.
They took one look at the delicate Su Wanwan, who blushed at the slightest touch, and curled their lips in disdain. “What a hassle.”
But after one meal, everything went off the rails!
The roguish squad leader Xie Lie, eyes red, shielded her behind him. “Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. Anyone who tries to lay a hand on you will have to get past me first!”
The troublemakers throughout the military district started competing to win her over: hauling water, chopping wood, fishing and gathering seafood, even getting up in the middle of the night to repair her roof!
Just as the whole island was going wild shipping them together, her “dead” regimental commander husband came back alive!
