Song Chuncao was reborn. She knew that Qi Yue would die young in the future, and marrying him meant becoming a widow.
Meanwhile, after her foolish cousin married a widower from a neighboring village, she lived a happy, fulfilling life. Her husband became the richest man around, and her stepchildren were all filial and successful.
So Song Chuncao schemed to get her cousin together with Qi Yue, then went off to find her future cousin-in-law.
Seeing through Song Chuncao's intentions, Song Que glanced at the man radiating seven-colored spiritual energy and thought: There's a deal like this?

Qi Yue had a secret. On the night his bride ran away, a little chick appeared beside his bed. The little thing talked to itself during the day and liked to crawl under his blankets in the middle of the night.
Later, the chick turned into the youngest daughter of the Song family.
Qi Yue glanced at the empty rice jar, then at the bald patch rubbed into his back, and held back from revealing the secret.
The day he returned to his unit, the youngest Song daughter gave him a good-luck charm.
Song Que: It'll save your life.
Looking at the "token of love," adorned with a tuft of someone's hair, Qi Yue solemnly declared, "If I return safely, I will marry you!"
Song Que: ?
What Qi Yue didn't know was that, besides eating his food and using his things, Song Que had also been drawing on his spiritual energy. She didn't want to take advantage of him...
