A 1970s Military Officer Is Heirless? A Rural Educated Youth Has Triplets

[Period Setting + 1970s + Marriage Before Love + Military Marriage + Rugged Hero + Family Life + Building Wealth]

In the 1970s, Gu Beichuan is the army's famously cold-faced battalion commander. He's distinguished himself in battle and has a bright future ahead.

There's just one problem: he was gravely injured on a mission.

After the hospital examines him, everyone assumes he'll never be able to have children.

His former fiancée breaks off their engagement because of it.

His family gradually gives up hope of having grandchildren, too.

Lin Wanwan is an educated youth from the city, sent to the countryside. Her stepmother sets her up, and she nearly ends up married to an old widower in the village.

To stay in the area, she somehow winds up registering her marriage to Gu Beichuan.

At first, the two of them are just sharing a home and getting by.

Lin Wanwan even secretly feels relieved:

If he can't have children, that's perfect. She won't have to raise a child while she's still so young.

But two months after the wedding, she starts feeling nauseous and sleepy.

The doctor at the local clinic feels her pulse.

"You're pregnant."

Then they go to the county hospital for a checkup.

It's not just one baby.

It's triplets.

The entire family compound erupts.

The relatives who once mocked the Gu family for having no heirs grow jealous.

The woman who broke off the engagement regrets it.

Gu's mother can hardly wait to stew eight batches of eggs a day for her daughter-in-law.

And the most stunned of all is Gu Beichuan himself.

He stares at the test results for ages.

"But the doctor said I..."

Lin Wanwan: "Maybe you're just especially capable?"

Later, the heroine mistakenly thinks the hero is only treating her well for the children's sake and asks for a divorce so she can return to the city.

The taciturn man finally turns red-eyed for the first time.

"You can have the children."

"You can have my salary."

"You can have the house, too."

"You can have me, too."

"What else do you want a divorce for?"
