   Also known as "The 80s Beauty Runs Away with a Baby, the Military Officer Breaks Down" [Shanghai in the 80s + Arranged Marriage to Love + Pursuing the Wife and Slapping Her Face + Sweet Daily Pampering] A beautiful dancer with delicate shoulders and a slender waist X a jealous man who says one thing but does another. Xu Si transmigrated into a book, becoming the fake heiress of the Xie family who was switched at birth. On her first day, she moved from a small villa into a muddy, old alleyway. A golden phoenix fell into a chicken coop. The real heiress, Xie Xinyue, begged her family to send Xu Si to Yan Zheng, who had a crippled leg. He wanted to see her legs broken, but instead, he didn't expect Xu Si to be pampered by that devil. * Father Yan: That Xu Si will be here in a couple of days. Let's get to know her first. Yan Zheng: If she dares to come, I'll make her leave crying. When that woman with a slender waist, beautiful shoulders, and watery eyes stood gracefully by the door and called him 'Mr. Yan,' Yan Zheng suddenly couldn't speak. Xu Si was gentle and kind. She raised Miaomiao and Xiaonan. She massaged Yan Zheng's injured legs, her gentle touch captivating his cold heart. At first, Yan Zheng agreed to marry her, but the reasons were complicated. Later, he left behind a fake marriage certificate. Xu Si quietly left and ran away. Halfway through, she discovered she was pregnant. It was a good deal. She abandoned her husband and kept her child! The man chased after his wife for thousands of miles. When he saw her enter the house, the bespectacled, refined man was consumed with jealousy. He climbed over the wall and entered through the window that night, his teeth clenched, "I'll give you my life. What do you care about that certificate!" * Tickets for the Jinxiu Grand Theater were in high demand. Tickets with Xu Si were doubled in price. One day, she suddenly announced her retirement for a year. Someone went to the dance troupe to wait for her, and saw her, slightly pregnant, teaching the members to dance—kicking, twisting, and spinning. Meanwhile, Captain Yan from the Commodity Inspection Bureau was waiting nearby, too nervous to move an inch… In the booming Shanghai, Xu Si lived a life of great success, riding the wave of reform to shine brightly—buying model apartments, opening department stores, and having the seemingly cold but warm-hearted captain's darling.
