1980s setting / Married first, fell in love later / Adorable contrast
What do you do when you transmigrate into an 1980s novel and become the “high-maintenance” wife everyone in the military compound hates?
Lu Qiao’s answer: Go all in on being high-maintenance, and take everyone else’s path until they have nowhere left to go!
Her money-grubbing mother comes demanding cash? She cries, makes a scene, and threatens to hang herself: “I’m already living on scraps at my in-laws’ place. I might as well jump in the river and die!”
The original heroine, a green-tea beauty, shows up late at night to offer comfort? Lu Qiao slams the door in her face: “A man and a woman alone together in the middle of the night? Are you trying to ruin my husband’s military reputation?”
After successfully driving off one troublemaker after another, Lu Qiao turns around and becomes the toughest homeroom teacher at the school for military families’ children, teaching a bunch of little terrors to learn through fun.
She thinks she can quietly coast to the ending and walk away with the money, but why is Shen Mochen, the supposedly cold and ruthless military big shot, looking at her more and more strangely?
He not only hands over his entire salary of his own accord, he also helps her cut out teaching aids every day!
Then one day, Shen Mochen finds her “divorce and escape plan” and says with a faint, knowing smile, “Teacher Lu, when do you plan to finish teaching me this ‘playing hard to get’ lesson?”
