The 1980S Military Marriage: The Country-Bumpkin Officer’s Spoiled Beauty Wife

[Period setting + military marriage + transmigration + villainess + putting scumbags in their place + no portable space + slow-paced romance + both leads’ first relationship] Shen Nanqiao, a renowned modern-day painting prodigy, wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel as a cannon-fodder villainess. The original owner had stunning looks capable of bringing a kingdom to ruin, but was a brainless, spoiled troublemaker. She rejected her upright, well-connected fiancé from the military compound to elope with a hypocritical scumbag, and met a tragic end. Newly transmigrated, Shen Nanqiao looks at her dark-faced, rugged fiancé, Huo Zheng, and promptly grabs on to him. “Elope? Not happening. I’m marrying you!” With no golden finger or portable space, Shen Nanqiao relies on a paintbrush and a clear head to thrive in this era. The scumbag wants her back? The original heroine wants to use her to climb the social ladder? Her awful relatives want to leech off her? Shen Nanqiao gives a cold laugh, hits back with a satirical painting and a resounding slap, and teaches them how to behave! Meanwhile, Huo Zheng, the supposedly cold, stern, hot-tempered grandson of a military family, turns into a thoroughly lovesick country boy after they marry. He can’t say sweet things, so he hands over every last bit of his pay and ration coupons. He knows nothing about romance, but when she gets tired from painting, he clumsily brings her a basin of hot water to soak her feet. Everyone in the compound expects the tough soldier and delicate beauty to become a laughingstock. They never imagined the couple would not only build a thriving life together, but become the model couple envied by the entire military district! (The latter half features a large ensemble cast, heartwarming everyday life in the compound, and a gentle, leisurely pace.)
