(1960s + Famine Years + Love That Grows Over Time + Military Marriage + Striving)
Jiang Ye transmigrated to the 1960s. Her father had just died, leaving her with seven younger sisters and two elderly family members, while her mother was pregnant with another child. This was a disastrous situation from the start, and she wished she could transmigrate again.
And that wasn't even the worst of it. The moment she opened her eyes, her grandpa had brought home a man for her to marry, insisting they consummate the marriage!
Good heavens, she couldn't go on like this! Fortunately, her space had come with her when she transmigrated. There was always a way forward. She rolled up her sleeves, went into the mountains, hunted game, and gathered medicinal herbs. Before long, life was finally comfortable.
But the man went off to join the army, leaving her alone at home to give birth. When she heard that she could enlist, she wanted to go see him. But once she got there, she couldn't leave again, because people were bullying her delicate husband. She had to stand up for him. As she kept doing so, she wound up becoming a notorious military wife.
The man didn't mind at all. He said the fiercer she was, the less anyone would dare make a move on her, and then he wouldn't have to worry about anyone stealing his wife for the rest of his life.
