[Transmigrate to the 1970s | Marriage before love | Military marriage and raising children | Strong heroine building a career | Country and family]
Her foxlike beauty brought her endless gossip in the 1970s.
His youthful, baby-faced looks made the young officer an object of scorn.
Disaster struck when she was pushed into a river by human traffickers, and he rescued her.
Under the weight of rumors, the two were forced to marry.
Three days into their marriage, he received orders to return to his unit at once.
Before long, she was driven into a drafty woodshed, with a frail child in her arms and not a penny to her name.
The entire village watched coldly, waiting for her to waste away in the poor mountain settlement.
But against all odds, she turned her life around.
She protected the child, made a living, took down a human trafficking ring, and rescued a researcher in trouble.
Without relying on her in-laws or waiting for her husband, she used her intelligence and courage to build a life of her own, until the Public Security Bureau came to commend her publicly.
Thousands of miles away, the baby-faced officer was still investigating a major spy case and knew nothing.
His newlywed wife, vilified by everyone, had already become someone others could only aspire to be.
[Reader note] No romance-obsessed heroine, no frustrating melodrama. The heroine is clear-headed and independent, and the story moves quickly with plenty of satisfying moments.
