The Sweet, Gentle Military Wife Refuses to Be a Doormat and Rules the Island

[Period-era madness + joining the army on a remote island + everyday gourmet fare + mutual protectiveness + devoted tough-guy husband]

No wasting your energy on emotional turmoil. If there’s a problem, go wild!

Shen Zhixia, an all-around special forces military doctor, is reborn as a doormat in the old days, and suddenly sees the light.

Her scheming stepsister steals her fiancé? Her scumbag father wants to seize her mother’s inheritance?

Shen Zhixia: “Sure. You can have it, if you’re willing to pay with your life!” She clears out the family’s valuables overnight, takes a fortune with her, and heads straight to the island of Yazhou to join the army, bringing along her beautiful, delicate mother-in-law, who’s wholeheartedly on her side.

Everyone says the island is a barren wasteland where people are so poor they have to chew tree bark.

Shen Zhixia just snorts and rolls up her sleeves: she hunts wild boars in the mountains, catches sharks in the sea, and whips up dishes so delicious their aroma carries for miles.

While others scrape by on bran and vegetables, her family feasts on seafood every meal. While other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law fight, she spoils hers like a daughter. Anyone who dares gossip gets a good, hard slap!

Everyone in the family compound knows that Captain Gu’s pretty, delicate wife is not to be messed with!

Until one day, the missing Captain Gu returns covered in medals. He looks at the courtyard that has practically turned into a rich landlord’s estate, then at his delicate wife chasing a spy with a cleaver...

Gu Ye: “...Honey, put the knife down! That’s the prisoner I’ve spent half a month capturing!”
