A Military Marriage in the 1970S: Being a Stepmom Is Hard

Fang Lan wakes up one morning to find she has transmigrated. A modern-day corporate drudge has become a village girl, with too little to eat and too little to wear, and farm labor to boot. She's worse off than a workhorse. At least she has a fiancé who loves her. But then an accident leaves her fiancé's comrade dead because of him. To repay the debt, her fiancé breaks off their engagement and marries his comrade's younger sister instead. Less than a year later, his wife dies, leaving behind a baby still in swaddling clothes. Fang Lan is almost forced by her family into a marriage, too. Then her former fiancé comes to her door, offering a lavish bride price to marry her. Her family ignores her wishes and sends her off without a second thought. With nowhere else to turn, Fang Lan is forced to become a stepmother.
