    Help! The female lead in this 1970s novel is finally getting her due! Awakening her past life memories, she's proposed to by a stunningly handsome military commander right from the start. After a symbolic moment of hesitation, she agrees immediately—after marriage, her husband hands over his entire salary and does all the housework, while her career skyrockets! 💘 Her mother-in-law dislikes her but they don't live together, and her father-in-law secretly sends her supplies, infuriating her (father-in-law: "Only the eldest grandson is a grandson!"). She spends her days taking care of her grandchildren, enjoying gossip, and building her career. Her work at the Canton Fair earns her a whopping 20 million USD in foreign exchange, making headlines! 🔥 This isn't just a military marriage; it's a 1970s version of "living a life of ease and comfort"! Anyone else enjoy this kind of satisfying novel? Raise your hand! (This is one of the more understated, peaceful military novels I've read. There's not much interaction with other family members, and there aren't any dinner parties at the beginning. It focuses on the lives of the male and female leads; other characters feel like peripheral figures. The male and female leads respect, understand, and tolerate each other.)
