The Cannon-Fodder Wife in a Period Novel Awakens

Shen Chunhe had a prophetic dream. It turned out she was the cannon-fodder first wife in a period novel.

When she woke up, she decisively took her daughter and made her way to the capital, exposing her scumbag husband's schemes and negotiating a settlement before divorcing him.

She wanted to stay in the capital with her daughter, but it was difficult to get by. Just then, someone noticed how neat and efficient she was and how well she cooked, and introduced her to He Jizhou as a housekeeper. He had lost his sight and injured his leg while on a mission, and she would also look after his niece. Her food and lodging would be covered, and if she stayed for a year, she would be given a small courtyard. She could register her residence after just three months.

They were upfront with her: He Jizhou was a decent man, but he looked fierce and had a bad temper. He had already driven away several housekeepers.

Shen Chunhe wasn't afraid. She went and managed to stay. Three months later, He Jizhou's leg had healed, and she and her daughter had registered their residence.

A year later, He Jizhou regained his sight. Shen Chunhe quit her housekeeping job, moved with her daughter into the little courtyard next door, and opened a restaurant.

But He Jizhou kept showing up every few days, tall and lean in his public security uniform, fixing her with wolfish dark eyes. He laid out all his savings and property deed, promising to hand over his salary every month and stay true to both his beliefs and her. He wanted her to be his wife for the rest of his life!
