The Little Drama Queen of the Seventies Compound

Jiang Yuxiu is the cotton mill's prettiest flower. As the factory director's youngest daughter, she was pampered from childhood and became notorious around the factory for being a spoiled, difficult princess.

She refuses to eat coarse grains and insists on drinking sweetened water. Even when meat is a rare treat, she only eats the lean parts, complaining that the fatty parts are too greasy.

The only thing she deserves praise for is her cooking, which she learned because she couldn't stand the food at home.

Factory Director Jiang can't take it anymore. Afraid his spoiled daughter will never find a husband, he packs her off overnight to marry the soldier son of an old comrade, the boy Jiang Yuxiu was promised to as a child.

Jiang Yuxiu lies awake fretting that night.

Her comfortable life is about to end. What a worry!

Han Chen knows the woman he's promised to marry is a famous spoiled princess at the cotton mill. Before the wedding, his father repeatedly tells him to treat his new wife well. She's the old comrade's youngest daughter and has never suffered a day in her life.

Han Chen readily agrees, but secretly resolves that whether she's the youngest daughter or a little monster, once she's with him, she'll have a body of steel and a will of iron.

Spoiled? He won't indulge that bad habit.

After they get married,

Jiang Yuxiu wants almond pastries from the Friendship Store? Buy them!

Jiang Yuxiu wants clothes made of Dacron? Buy them!

Jiang Yuxiu wants a cotton quilt? Buy one!

Jiang Yuxiu wants to trade in her husband? Absolutely not!
