[Period military romance + satisfying revenge + marriage first, love later + golden finger is gardening.]
When Wu Nianning opens her eyes, she has transmigrated into a famine-era novel about a lucky heroine. She's the heroine's ill-fated cousin.
Her parents are both dead, and she's left with a younger brother who's barely grown and a sickly younger sister. In the original story, the original owner marries herself off for half a jin of grain to feed her siblings. Her husband's family never gives her the promised bride price before the wedding, leaving her with nothing but an empty promise.
After the wedding, she discovers that her in-laws' home is a living hell. Her disabled brother-in-law suddenly has a child after years of marriage, and her pitiful sister-in-law stands at the door in the wind and rain, begging for comfort. The original owner becomes a packhorse for the entire family. Only a fool would swallow that empty promise. She's not going to serve them! She's going home to stick close to the lucky heroine and scrounge enough food to eat!
She's barely been scrounging for a few days when someone comes to arrange a match for the lucky heroine.
The man is a well-known catch in the commune and serves as an officer in Haicheng! The only thing is... he's a bit older.
And... he's had three fiancées before, but each engagement fell through for one reason or another.
How could the soft and gentle heroine possibly agree? Even Third Aunt, who was usually easygoing, loses her temper.
But Wu Nianning gets an idea. An officer has food to eat! That's better than sneaking around to scrounge! He's older... older men know how to treat you well! Great! He's supposedly cursed and brings bad luck to women... no problem. She's lucky to be alive!
The timid starve while the bold feast. Wu Nianning slings a small bundle over her shoulder and goes to find the man. Zou Changqing stares at the skinny little girl in front of him. “Are you sure you want to marry me?” Wu Nianning thumps her bony ribs. “Absolutely!” That's how Wu Nianning comes to live in the military compound. She discovers that her life isn't so hard after all: she has a huge golden finger, and everything she plants yields a bumper harvest!
I like it very much, but the ending is a bit rushed and I feel like I haven't finished watching it.
A very good novel
The writing in the front is not as good as the writing in the back, but it is much smoother in the back.
