The Delicate Black Lotus: A Childless Military Officer Spoils Her Rotten

In the early 1970s, her parents favored boys over girls and tried to force her into a substitute marriage in exchange for a bride price?

Su Nian, a delicate Jiangnan beauty, gave a cold laugh, cleaned out her greedy relatives’ home, took the money, and signed up to be sent to the countryside!

Who would have thought that after she fell asleep, she would wake up bound to a spirit-spring space that brought good fortune in childbirth? A retired senior official from the capital took a liking to her at first sight and promptly arranged a whirlwind marriage, sending her off to Lu Jinzhen, the northern military district’s terrifying “living King of Hell,” rumored to be incapable of having children.

Everyone in the compound waited to see Su Nian make a fool of herself, claiming that the delicate, sickly southern beauty wouldn’t survive the northern winter and that marrying a cripple meant a lifetime of loneliness.

Su Nian acted fragile and weepy on the surface, but secretly stocked her space with meat and brewed tea with the spirit spring. Not only did she use her cunning to bankrupt the grasping relatives in the courtyard, she also gave birth to three children and thoroughly smashed the rumors that her husband was incapable of having children!

The flustered, rugged brigade commander was completely wrapped around her finger. By day, he played the King of Hell on the training field; at night, he patiently washed his darling wife’s little floral underwear.

The resource-scarce 1970s?

Watch her use the System to run a black market with one hand and keep military officers wrapped around her finger while building a business with the other, making a fortune along the way!
