[Transmigrate into a Book in the 1980s | Sacrificial Wife x Lame Military Officer | Marriage Before Love, Building Wealth and Making a Comeback]
Lin Wan stayed up all night reading a melodramatic novel set in the 1980s. When she opened her eyes, she had become the sacrificial wife who shared her name in the book. In the original story, she was vain, despised her husband's lame leg, and argued for a divorce every day. In the end, her in-laws kicked her back to the countryside, where she remarried a drunkard and died before turning thirty.
Across from her, her husband Lu Zheng, whom everyone in the compound called a "cripple," leaned on his cane, but his eyes were alarmingly bright. Lin Wan remembered: his leg would heal in a year, and he would rise like a dragon from its lair. Right there and then, she tore her divorce application in half.
From then on, the spoiled wife became a devoted protector of her husband. She used what she knew from her past life to help him recover, started selling things with a sewing machine, put her sister-in-law in her place when she coveted his veterans' resettlement allowance, and even befriended the factory beauty who had coveted Lu Zheng in the original story. Her sisters-in-law went from mocking her to envying her and then sucking up to her, watching all the while as she turned their modest life into a legend in the compound.
But Lu Zheng understood his wife less and less. First wary, then bewildered, he found himself unable to stop protecting her, until at last he held her in his heart.
