[1970s + wood powers + hunting + demon pets + opening up wasteland + fiercely protective + sweet romance + two strong, straightforward leads + contrasting characters]
Song Mianmian, a female captain in an apocalypse-era land reclamation unit, fought through a desperate battle, then suddenly transmigrated into a book and became a miserable, vicious supporting character in the 1970s. Her scoundrel father had switched her identity, leaving her saddled with a rightist charge.
After someone drugged and framed her, she accidentally got entangled with Lu Zheng, a disgraced former soldier who had returned to his hometown. He had an elderly mother, three younger siblings who ate like bottomless pits, and a home so poor it was bare of everything.
She thought she would have to support the whole family by hunting and clearing wasteland. But she never expected the younger siblings to have extraordinary origins: they were descendants of ancient demon kings.
The eldest younger brother was a simple-minded, food-loving bear with superhuman strength, able to smash boulders with one punch.
The second younger brother was descended from a spirit wolf, a tracking expert with night vision that let him see for miles.
The youngest sister was a red fox, gifted at sensing life and finding treasure.
She had wood-based powers, and the former soldier was there to protect her.
They hunted, gathered medicinal herbs to make money, opened up wasteland, and stockpiled grain, leading the whole family to turn the tables against the odds.
The worst neighbors tried to one-up her? She put them in their place!
Floods and other disasters caused food shortages? She took care of it!
Foreign herders came to raid them? She unleashed the wolf pack!
When the mission ended, Lu Zheng returned to his unit in glory.
Rumors spread through the military family compound that he was going to dump his “criminal wife” from the countryside and marry his long-admired sweetheart, the daughter of a senior official!
But no one could have imagined that this iron-blooded, cold-faced chief of staff would keep Song Mianmian by his side and dote on her without restraint.
