[Soul transmigration to the 1960s + Spiritual Spring Space + Marriage First, Love Later + Military Marriage + Gourmet]
Xia Zhiqing, the owner of a modern-day diner, suffers heatstroke one day and transmigrates into the body of Liu Qingqing, a wretched village girl in the 1960s who is bullied by everyone. Her stepmother is cruel, her cousin is vicious, and her father is indifferent. The original owner has been tormented to the brink of death and is about to be forced into a substitute marriage.
Everyone says the man she is to marry, military commander Sun Xiaoting, was disfigured on the battlefield and has a violent temper. He's a terrifying man no one would dare marry. Her cousin, Liu Zhaodi, is so frightened that she cries and wails, forcing Liu Qingqing to take her place and leap into the fire pit.
Xia Zhiqing sneers and agrees without hesitation! Escaping her awful relatives is the top priority. So what if he's disfigured? That's still better than starving to death in the countryside!
On the eve of her wedding, she accidentally activates the jade pendant left by the original owner's mother, unlocking a spiritual spring space! The spring nourishes the body, the black soil yields abundant crops, and with her top-notch cooking skills and superb ingredients, her life goes into overdrive!
She thought they'd simply share a home, but when she meets the commander in person, he's tall and straight-backed, with handsome features. The scar on his face only adds to his rugged aura. He's not frightening at all, unlike the rumors.
Supplies are scarce at the army base, so she uses ingredients from her space to cook sumptuous dishes that leave the whole military district drooling. When her awful relatives come looking for trouble, she tears into the fake sweethearts and gives the wicked a sharp tongue-lashing, showing no mercy. When others spread rumors and try to trip her up, she calmly turns the tables and steadily makes a place for herself.
And the stern, iron-blooded commander turns into a devoted husband who dotes on his wife. He keeps a straight face in front of everyone else, but is considerate and attentive toward her, quietly protecting her and saving all his tenderness for her.
From a village girl forced into a substitute marriage to the commander's cherished sweetheart, Xia Zhiqing uses her spiritual spring and cooking skills to thrive in the 1960s. Her husband spoils her rotten, and she finds success in both her career and love life.
