(The heroine's original name is Xu Jiu; she later changes it to Xu Jiu.)
In her previous life, Xu Jiu married an abusive man and was ultimately killed after being hit by a car.
Her older sister, Xu Baozhu, married the grandson of their grandfather's old army comrade and became the glamorous wife of an official.
When Xu Jiu came to her for help, her sister accused her of having stopped her from eloping years ago and condemned her to a loveless marriage.
Given another chance at life, Xu Baozhu tries to elope in the middle of the night. Xu Jiu pretends not to see or hear a thing.
In this life, Xu Jiu lives for herself alone.
Using her engagement to the grandson of her grandfather's old army comrade as a pretext, she moves into a Western-style house in the military compound.
Then she calls in a favor and gets the Gu family to provide the money and effort to put her through university.
Once she gets what she wants, Xu Jiu starts demanding that the engagement be called off.
Unexpectedly, her childhood betrothed refuses.
To get rid of him once and for all, Xu Jiu asks for the moon: she says she wants to be a regimental commander's wife.
Two years later, her betrothed, who disappeared for two years, returns.
With a roguish grin, he walks toward her step by step. “Mrs. Commander, I've come to take you home.”
After the wedding, just as Xu Jiu has settled into married life despite her lingering doubts, her sister Xu Baozhu arrives with the rest of the Xu family!
