The moment she opened her eyes, she was being pressured into marriage by her tearful mother. "Lu Shishen is a soldier, he has a secure job. If you marry him, your life will definitely be better. If your sister hadn't gone to university, this good thing wouldn't have happened to you." Having supported her sister's university education, only to have her sister steal her boyfriend and force her to marry the man her sister rejected, Yang Niannian saw through her so-called "mother's" facade and, she boarded a train to join her brother's military unit. Upon arriving at the unit, she discovered her new husband's unusual status and that he had a child entrusted to him by a comrade. She transformed into an officer's wife, pampered like a precious darling. Her sister regretted her decision and tried to steal him back, but was kicked out by her officer husband. Everyone said Lu Shishen was aloof and indifferent, his life devoted only to patriotism. Only Yang Niannian knew that the serious Lu Shishen by day was a wolf that hadn't eaten for half a year by night.

Becoming a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a book wasn’t scary either. What was scary was that her three stepsons would grow up to become major villains, and all of them, along with their upright, aloof father, would meet tragic ends. How could she let that happen?
