[Period military marriage + transmigrate into a book + pocket dimension + raising kids + building a fortune + an ensemble cast in the military compound + punishing scumbags + marriage before love + mutual devotion + cold, tough, and fiercely protective military hero VS sweet-talking, skillful, all-around stepmom]

The moment Shen Qingtang opens her eyes, she finds herself transmigrated into the body of a wicked stepmother everyone despises in the 1980s.

The original owner had just taken the household money and tried to run away, only to be caught red-handed by three kids and her stone-faced officer husband.

The eldest watches her like a hawk. The second hides whenever he sees her. The youngest is so hungry he has a fever, yet doesn't dare call her "Mom."

Looking at the shabby house and cold stove, Shen Qingtang rolls up her sleeves.

Run away? Not happening.

The money? She'll pay it back.

The kids? She'll raise them.

Their life? She'll make it prosper with her own hands.

Her family wants to bleed her dry? Shut the door. No one's getting in.

The military wives are waiting to laugh at her? One pot of congee for the sick has the whole compound drooling.

Her ex-husband's family wants to take the kids? They'd better ask the three children first.

Someone spreads rumors that she's a wicked stepmother? The kids rush out to stand up for her themselves.

With her pocket dimension and excellent cooking, Shen Qingtang goes from a tiny stove in the military compound to a local specialty-food stall, then turns her small business into a county-wide name.

The three kids go from "Don't touch me" to fighting over who gets to call her Mom.

The cold, tough officer Lu Zheng goes from "I'll keep an eye on you" to handing her the household money of his own accord.

Later, everyone says the Lu family is lucky to have such a good wife.

Only Lu Zheng knows the truth.

It wasn't her who entered the Lu family.

She was the one who slowly turned a family on the verge of falling apart into a home full of light.
