[1980s setting + military marriage + rugged husband and pampered wife + intense romantic tension + building a business + no household infighting + mutual devotion]
In her previous life, Jiang Nian was a handful. She looked down on her soldier husband for being a clueless country hunk, listened to malicious gossip, and demanded a divorce, only to meet a miserable end.
When she opens her eyes, she is back in 1980, on the day she first joined her husband in the military family compound.
An unfinished divorce letter lies on the table, and the heavy, purposeful thud of military boots sounds outside.
The door swings open, and Lu Beizheng walks in, broad-shouldered and long-legged, radiating masculinity, his face cold.
Jiang Nian slips the letter into her neckline. As the man stares at her in shock, she rushes into his arms with reddened eyes and hooks both arms around his neck. “Honey, my chest hurts. Will you rub it for me…?”
The battle-hardened officer, who never sheds a tear even when he bleeds, instantly turns red at the ears and doesn’t know where to put his hands!
Given another chance at life, Jiang Nian refuses to make the same mistakes again.
The gossipy women in the family compound want to drag her into a rivalry with other women? Sorry, she’s too busy making money and starting a business!
With the tide of the times on her side, she goes into business, opens factories, and launches a wholesale operation, helping the military wives who once looked down on her build their fortunes too.
By day, she’s a stunning businesswoman who takes charge with decisive efficiency.
By night, her ravenous, rugged husband pins her against the door, his scorching breath brushing her ear. “Honey, you’ve made all this money. Time to hand over your share tonight, don’t you think?”
