[Period Setting + Military Marriage + Female Carpenter + Military Officer + Forced Love + Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium]
Shen Yunchu, a modern inheritor of traditional woodcarving, transmigrates to 1975 along with a prize-winning rooster.
Her original self’s parents died young, and her uncle and aunt treated her as a way to make money, tormenting her for years and forcing her to marry the dead Zhou Cishen for a huge bride price.
The original Shen Yunchu would rather die than comply. She went on a hunger strike in protest and lost her life!
Shen Yunchu transmigrates into her place, and the whole village waits to laugh at her for marrying a dead man and spending her life as a widow.
Only Shen Yunchu is secretly delighted: marrying a dead man is great. No marital duties, motherhood without the pain of childbirth, elderly in-laws, and fewer family conflicts.
Most importantly, her rooster can communicate with spirits and speak. It can foresee danger, find valuables, locate supplies, and help her avoid disasters. There’s nothing it can’t do.
She has to marry him!
After marrying into the Zhou family, Shen Yunchu uses her carpentry skills to raise Zhou Cishen’s two children and care for her in-laws, building a thriving life for them all.
She has no idea that just as life begins to settle down, her husband, who disappeared six years ago and was presumed dead, suddenly returns.
He’s dressed in a crisp military uniform, his shoulder insignia dazzling enough to hurt the eyes, and he fixes her with a somber gaze.
“I hear you struck it rich by marrying me? Surely you wouldn’t mind making another fortune!”
Shen Yunchu stammers, “What do you mean?”
“I’m right here.”
“N-no, thank you. I just want to live peacefully as a widow.”
Zhou Cishen looks at his blushing young wife and pulls her soft body into his arms. “But I’m still alive. I can’t bear to leave you a widow.”
“Then let’s get divorced!”
“Be good. Military marriages can’t be dissolved. Buy one, get one free. Tonight, I’ll help you earn yourself another son!”
