[Personal Space + Military Romance + Feel-Good Revenge + Punishing Scum + Building Wealth]
From the start, her wicked stepmother forcibly sells her to the village's most notorious ne'er-do-well for thirty yuan and two bags of white flour?
Lin Wanqiu gives a cold laugh, digs up her stepmother's stove, and takes the five gold bars hidden inside. She also clears out the grain jar, lard, and eggs, leaving so little even the mice would weep. All she leaves behind is a red brick as a token of filial respect!
To escape her awful family for good, she jumps into the river in front of everyone and grabs Lu Chenzhou, a stern-faced officer passing by on a visit to family.
“Captain Lu, save me! They're trying to sell me!”
She exposes the scheme to sell her in front of everyone, leaving her stepmother clutching the brick and wailing, while the ne'er-do-well is scared into hauling manure.
Lin Wanqiu dusts herself off, takes her severance papers and her savings, and climbs straight into Captain Lu's military jeep!
Everyone thinks Lin Wanqiu is a pitiful orphan who can't survive without her family, and that marrying Lu Chenzhou, the cold, heartless officer who keeps women at arm's length, will bring her nothing but misery.
But who could have guessed that Lin Wanqiu carries an entire convenience store with her wherever she goes?
Rice, flour, cooking oil, instant noodles, canned food, cold medicine, hardware: she's got it all.
After following the troops to their base, while other families scrape by on coarse food, Lin Wanqiu feasts on braised pork at home every day. Her life is thriving, and she even becomes the richest woman in the military district.
And Captain Lu, rumored to be stiff and blunt, transforms into a doting husband. The words he says most often each day are:
“Wanqiu, I've brought you water and swept the floor. What would you like to eat today?”
