Raising a Child After Being Reborn + Military Marriage to a Rugged Man + Building a Fortune + The Cute Kid's Secret Revealed
Shen Suisui transmigrates into a period novel as the "ill-fated discarded wife" thrown out by her in-laws, with a soft, adorable three-year-old in tow.
Her original self was forced to marry a lame old bachelor in exchange for bride price. Shen Suisui slaps him across the face, leaves with nothing, and sets up a pancake stall in the county town with thirty cents to her name.
What, favoring sons over daughters? What, parasitic relatives? She beats every last one of them!
Then one day, as she is closing her stall, a tall man in military uniform rides past.
The little one suddenly dashes over and wraps both arms around his leg, looking up to call out in a clear little voice, "Daddy!"
The man shudders. He looks down at the child, whose features are strikingly like his own, then turns to the face he has dreamed of day and night behind the stall.
"Comrade, you've got the wrong person." Shen Suisui grips her spatula, her expression blank.
Shao Zhenting's Adam's apple bobs. He pulls out a crumpled marriage certificate. "I didn't die. I'm your husband."
Shen Suisui: "Oh. Then go die, will you?"
A renowned reconnaissance battalion commander, a cold-faced devil to outsiders, he becomes a devoted husband and doting father at home.
His application to remarry gets rejected? No matter. He'll follow the rules.
The little one gets bullied? He reveals his identity and stands up for his own.
She wants to build a fortune and open a chain of businesses? He hauls goods and stands guard as a free security guard.
Later, at the province-wide commendation ceremony for private businesses, Shen Suisui steps onto the stage in a red dress. "I want to thank someone who made me believe I could do it on my own."
In the last row, Shao Zhenting's eyes turn red. He mouths, "I believe in you. I always have."
The little one leans close to Daddy's ear and whispers in a babyish voice, "Daddy, Mommy said your name in her sleep yesterday!"
