Su Niannian opens her eyes and finds herself in a period novel, inhabiting a fussy military wife who’s about to elope with a pretty boy by jumping into a river.
Looking at the frail pretty boy, who does nothing but make empty promises, Su Niannian turns around and smacks him across the face!
Elope? Die for love?
She has a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, rugged, dark-skinned military officer at home, practically bursting with testosterone. Why would she choose a skinny runt and a life of scraping by on scraps? She’s not an idiot!
Su Niannian steals the farm space from her ungrateful stepdaughter and returns to her in-laws with a bounty of supplies.
Her military officer husband comes back coldly, carrying divorce papers, while her sharp-witted mother-in-law is deeply suspicious of her.
Su Niannian produces two jin of pork belly and a thick stack of big bills. In no time, she turns her mother-in-law into her first “die-hard fan.”
Difficult relatives come looking for trouble?
Her mother-in-law grabs a fire poker. “Who dares lay a hand on my precious daughter-in-law!”
Su Niannian hands her a broom. “Mom, go for his legs!”
