Su Wanting wakes up one morning to find she's transmigrated, becoming the doomed ex-wife in a novel about a stepmother.
In the story, the male lead, Qin Feng, is stationed at the border for years. His original wife can't stand the loneliness, so she leaves behind their toddler, runs away with another man, and ends up with a gambling addict. To pay off his debts, he sells her to a dance hall. Less than a year later, she dies of a venereal disease.
When Su Wanting transmigrates into her, the original wife is packing to run away with the other man.
Su Wanting: Running away is out of the question. Her biggest dream in her previous life was to have money, a child, and no man.
Now two of her three wishes have come true. All she has to do is work hard and make money. As for the male lead, he can live happily ever after with the heroine. She won't get involved.
The borderlands are bitterly cold, and life is hard for the soldiers. Su Wanting takes the initiative to send supplies there.
When the rough soldiers hear that the regiment commander's wife is coming, they all rush over to see the excitement. Then they watch a fashionable beauty with fair skin and long legs step down from a huge SUV.
The rough soldiers: ...Wasn't the commander's wife supposed to be an ordinary country girl? Who is this gorgeous fairy who looks like she stepped out of a painting?
Du Xuejiao is the belle of the art troupe, and countless men pursue her. But she hasn't taken a single one of them seriously, because her heart already belongs to someone: Regiment Commander Qin.
Although Commander Qin is married, that's no problem. She knows he'll eventually be single again. Du Xuejiao waits and waits, but he never divorces. Instead, she hears that his wife is coming to the military camp!
Du Xuejiao: ?? Didn't that vixen run off with another man? Why has she come back to find Commander Qin?!
