In the 1980s, the Shen family’s parents are framed and sent away to labor camps. Before leaving, they send their delicate daughter Shen Zhixia and their adopted daughter Lin Wanqing to the border region to meet and marry the two Lu brothers, then follow them to their military posts. In her previous life, Lin Wanqing was left a neglected wife. Knowing that the Lu family’s eldest son, Lu Jingming, would become a high-ranking officer, while the second son, Lu Zheng, would die on a mission, she is reborn and secretly switches their matchmaking tokens, stealing the gentle eldest brother for herself.
Shen Zhixia, whose match has been stolen, unexpectedly awakens the ability to read minds. She hears Lin Wanqing’s malicious thoughts, hoping Shen Zhixia will marry Lu Zheng and be left a neglected wife. Shen Zhixia laughs coldly. Rather than make a scene, she goes along with it, points to the dark-skinned, 190-centimeter-tall roughneck Lu Zheng, nicknamed the “Cold-Faced Grim Reaper,” and says, “Come on, let’s go file our marriage application!”
Everyone waits to see the delicate Miss Shen get tormented by the crude Lu Zheng. But after they marry, Lu Zheng not only survives, he also earns one impressive achievement after another, thanks to Shen Zhixia’s ability to predict the future, and rises through the ranks! Meanwhile, in the military housing compound, the fearsome roughneck is meekly holding out a basin of foot-washing water and begging, “Wifey, is the water warm enough? Can I please sleep in our bed tonight instead of on the floor?”
Meanwhile, Lin Wanqing, who went to such lengths to steal a good marriage, is turned into a bitter woman by Lu Jingming’s hypocrisy and cold treatment…
Not bad, come on, come on
