"Sweet dew, a divine nectar. The essence of the gods, a blessing of benevolence and good fortune. It congeals like fat and tastes as sweet as syrup, hence its other names: sweet dew, ointment, wine, and brew." [Note: The older sister did not steal her younger sister's golden finger.]

After Tang Lu, unlucky and ill-fated, died a tragic death on the street, she discovered that she had been living inside a book about a tortured romance.

In the book, she was the tragic heroine's older sister. Because she was said to have brought bad luck and killed her husband, she was driven back to her family. She also raised a parasite of a younger brother who acted like an oversized baby, and died beneath the wheels of the villainess's car while fighting her younger sister over a man.

To stay alive, Tang Lu was reborn at eighteen and got her hands on a little something her younger sister had missed. From that day on, her short frame grew taller, her dull, sallow skin turned soft and rosy... Not only did all the young men in the village fall for her, even the pheasants in the mountains kept running into her!

In this life, she didn't want to marry again and bring harm to anyone. She just wanted to use her golden finger to finally fill her always-hungry stomach, quietly make a fortune, and stay away from trouble.

Who could have guessed that the short-lived soldier she'd only met once in her previous life would come looking for her early? And Tang Lu, who had sworn she only wanted to get rich and not get married, couldn't resist the side effects of her golden finger. Faced with this walking vault of good fortune, she completely lost her self-control. Her mouth went dry, and she just wanted to pounce on him...

With disaster looming, Tang Lu frantically reminded herself: Men are all pig trotters. Men are all pig trotters. Men are all pig trotters... Damn it, why does he seem even more irresistible the more I say it? QAQ

My new novel, Marrying a Handsome Army Officer [Joining Him in the 1960s], is now live. Please add it to your favorites!

After years of being despised and given the cold shoulder by her husband, Jiang Jian'an, whom she had supported through university, Xu Mingzhu despairingly went to the water's edge. She died saving a child who had fallen in.

She unexpectedly became reborn in 1960. Her short, stocky body, which people had mocked, had grown taller, and her skin was smooth and delicate.

Just then, Jiang Jian'an's mother arrived with a pitiful dried fish to propose marriage. Xu Mingzhu immediately grabbed the door bar and beat them both out of the house!

Jiang's mother stood at her gate, furious, and screamed, "You stinking butcher! With a face like yours, you were lucky to marry my son, and now you don't know what's good for you! You'll end up an old maid. Let's see who'll marry you!"

"I will," came a pleasant, resonant voice from among the onlookers.

Xu Mingzhu and everyone else turned to see who had spoken: a tall, handsome man in a crisp military uniform, whose looks were leagues beyond Jiang Jian'an's.

Afraid she might refuse, the man introduced himself. "My name is Gu Baichuan. I was just promoted to battalion commander. I'm usually stationed with my unit, but if you don't want to live with my family, you can stay in your own home. I'll provide the full wedding gifts, including the three big items and the one small item. Also, I earn eighty yuan a month, and I'll hand it all over to you."

Eighty yuan a month was enough to buy more than a hundred jin of pork! Xu Mingzhu agreed at once. If she didn't marry him, was she going to marry someone in heaven?

On the first day of their marriage, Xu Mingzhu thought that since she'd married into such an eminent family, she had to get up early and make a good impression. But by the time she opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.

Gu Baichuan rolled up his sleeves and brought a basin of water over to the bed, smiling. "You're awake, you lazy little pig. I've got your washing water ready. Hurry up and get cleaned up."

Xu Mingzhu blushed bright red.

On the third day of their marriage, Gu Baichuan returned to his unit.

A month after their wedding, letters came flying in from the military like snowflakes. Xu Mingzhu couldn't read, so she took them to Auntie Zhang next door and asked her to read them aloud.

Auntie Zhang held a letter up to the light, squinted, and read, "To my dear Ms. Xu Mingzhu, I hope this letter finds you well. We've been apart since just three days after our wedding. I wonder if you think of me in your spare time. I miss you very much, especially your lovely face, your smooth skin, your snowy..."

Just a few short lines were enough to make the butcher, who had slaughtered countless pigs, blush so hard she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground. Amid the laughter of all the women gathered to watch, she snatched the letter and bolted out the door.

She had to join the army as a military spouse! She couldn't stay in this place another day!

Gu Baichuan scoffed at that. If she couldn't read, he'd teach her. If she was ignorant, then he'd take her out to see more of the world.

In his eyes, though shallow and crude, she was willing to sacrifice her life to save others. Her slightly plump figure was healthy and beautiful, and she was only so fierce because she wanted to protect her family. She was wonderful! The others were simply too blind to recognize a true pearl!

Everyone: "..." He must have trained so much that he'd damaged his brain!
