In 1972, Shen Shuyao was reborn.
In her previous life, she was a corporate executive who was killed by her stepmother, but in this life she was transformed into the granddaughter of a capitalist with a bad background. She was sent to the countryside instead and thrown on a deserted island in the East China Sea.
What's even more outrageous is that the person assigned to her by the organization - Marine Battalion Commander Fu Yuanzheng, is rumored to be a "wife-suppressant", cold-faced and taciturn, and looks at her like she's looking at nothing.
On their wedding night, Fu Yuanzheng said, "Everyone sleeps in his own place" and made a bed on the floor.
Shen Shuyao didn't cry or make a fuss, she kept the dilapidated family room spotlessly clean, and fed the entire camp with her good cooking skills. She weaved fishing nets, opened a tuck shop, taught military wives how to read, and experimented with growing seaweed on the island, becoming rich along with the fishermen.
When her mother-in-law came to make trouble, she took out the documents for the separation of the family; when the top military wife spread rumors, she recited quotations in front of everyone; when the green tea nurse knocked on the man's door in the middle of the night, she smiled and said it back - all the people who wanted to see her joke ended up as her backdrop.
Fu Yuanzheng gradually discovered that this little daughter-in-law with "bad qualities" knew medical skills, was good at business, and could calmly bandage him when he was injured. His cold heart melted little by little, and he changed from being taciturn to a maniac who protected his wife. He said in public: "No one can bully her except my wife."
From a family house on an island to an entrepreneur in a provincial capital, from an orphan girl with poor background to a model military dependent respected by everyone, Shen Shuyao spent her life proving that the best marriage is not about being well matched, but about moving forward side by side.
This is the story of a reborn heroine who changes her destiny by relying on her wisdom and golden fingers. It is also the story of a couple who spanned more than 20 years of ups and downs, from treating each other like guests to being dependent on each other for life and death.
