A stern-looking, sweet-hearted, clingy giant puppy of an army officer x a sweet-looking, captivating woman with a fiery temper
Jiang Qiao has a dream in which she becomes the loser in a comparison story.
The heroine is her neighbor, Li Tiantian, who meets and marries Regiment Commander Zhou, a divorced man with two children.
She has great luck, a devoted husband, doting children, and a loving mother-in-law. She sleeps until late morning every day, and her stepchildren treat her just like their own mother.
By contrast, Jiang Qiao follows her husband to the same island and pours her heart into her three biological children, but they defy her at every turn.
Her eldest son is chubby, strong, arrogant, and unbeatable in the courtyard.
Her second son is thin and short, as timid as a quail. You couldn't get a word out of him if you hit him with three sticks, and he has developed a stutter so bad he can barely get a sentence out.
Her little daughter is vain from a very young age, and whenever the family saves up some cloth, they use it all to make her dresses.
Everyone is just waiting for Jiang Qiao's three children to grow up and turn into thugs, scoundrels, and hooligans.
Jiang Qiao: ?
The eldest is arrogant and gets zeroes on every exam, huh?
Fine, time to hit the books!
From now on, he has to do ten practice sets every day. If he doesn't die from it, make him write until he's dead!
The second is a timid, stuttering coward, huh?
Fine, time to hit the books!
He gets over his stutter, stands tall with his head held high, and learns to argue back at ten adults without taking a breath!
The little one is vain and loves wasting money, huh?
Fine, time to hit the books!
We'll start young: she'll learn painting and design, and if she wants a particular outfit, she'll design and sew it herself!
And so...
When Li Tiantian complains about having to work six days a week and sleeps all day at home, Jiang Qiao uses her exceptional cooking skills to land a job in a school cafeteria with high pay and great benefits.
When Li Tiantian complains that cooking is exhausting, refuses to use the old-fashioned stove, and won't cook, so Zhou Anguo has to make all her meals, Jiang Qiao whips up all kinds of delicious food and makes Lu Yan the envy of every other officer.
When Li Tiantian is sure her stepchildren will grow up to be successful and takes them to play in the mountains and by the sea, Jiang Qiao has her three children study, paint, and learn to recognize medicinal herbs... The more skills, the better.
By the time Li Tiantian is nearly forty and has achieved nothing, Jiang Qiao has published a book based on her culinary knowledge and become famous throughout the country.
Li Tiantian: "The story wasn't supposed to go like this..."
Jiang Qiao: "You can lie flat all you want, but you're genuinely useless."
Li Tiantian transmigrates into a period novel set on an island. Using her "foresight" to her advantage, she takes the original heroine Jiang Qiao's place and marries the male lead, Zhou Anguo. Just like in the novel, Zhou Anguo spoils her rotten and won't let her lift a finger, while his two children treat her like their real mother.
Thinking of how her stepson will become a scientist who researches a certain weapon and her stepdaughter will become a TV star, Li Tiantian lies flat with a clear conscience.
But the longer she lies flat, the more she realizes something is wrong.
The original heroine Jiang Qiao didn't marry Zhou Anguo. Instead, she married Staff Officer Lu, whose prospects are even brighter than Zhou Anguo's.
And the three children are nothing like the original story, where the eldest was a notorious local hooligan, the second was so withdrawn he never left his room, and the third had the whole delinquent look down pat as soon as she came of age, from permed hair to clubbing.
Instead, they're all successful. The eldest becomes a top-tier tycoon, the second becomes the youngest and most brilliant surgeon in Huaguo, and the third becomes an internationally renowned fashion designer.
Meanwhile, her own stepchildren don't grow up to be successful at all. They turn into two ungrateful brats.
Li Tiantian: "...Who can I even complain to about this?"
Lu Yan became a staff officer in his early thirties. Everyone who knows him says he has a bright future. The only pity is that he has an illiterate country wife.
People say his country wife is coarse, ugly, and uneducated... Everyone feels sorry for him. What a beautiful flower planted in a pile of cow dung.
But when Lu Yan's country wife joins him at the base, everyone is stunned:
The woman before them is graceful, fair-skinned and beautiful, and an excellent cook. Is she really the country bumpkin they've heard about?
Everyone, staring blankly: "So rumors really can't be trusted."

Upcoming: The Seductive Nanny of 1970. Please add it to your collection. Blurb:
A stubborn but softhearted country hunk who loves imagining things x a dramatic beauty
Ye Wanning became a state banquet chef at a very young age, mastering Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese, Huaiyang, and every other cuisine.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans. One day, she transmigrated into the body of Ye Wanning, the youngest daughter of the Ye family in Hongqi Commune.
The Ye family favors sons over daughters and plans to sell her as a bride to the village brigade leader's intellectually disabled son.
Ye Wanning: "..." She decides to run away.
Huo Xiao is handsome and has a bright future. Unfortunately, he's eccentric and has no interest in marriage, making him one of the most famous bachelors in the whole military region.
His mother is frantic and sends a telegram: You don't have to get married, but you need someone to take care of you, right?
Huo Xiao doesn't even bother to reply. He never expects to come back from a three-month voyage and find a woman with a bundle suddenly living in his home.
Ye Wanning says timidly, "Auntie Song sent me to work as your nanny."
Huo Xiao: "What era is this, still playing at being little bourgeois? You have three days to get out!"
But three days pass, then another three...
Three months later, the little nanny still hasn't left, and Regiment Commander Huo has gotten rounder.
Six months later, the little nanny still hasn't left, and someone has mended the holes in Regiment Commander Huo's training clothes.
A year later, the little nanny still hasn't left, but her belly has swelled like a balloon.
His comrades, astonished: "Regiment Commander Huo?!"
Huo Xiao, rubbing his hands: "You don't know how clever she is.
She finds an excuse to straighten my collar and deliberately gets right up close to me. (Ye Wanning: It's just part of my job as a nanny.)
She makes me a warm late-night snack whenever I get home late from a meeting. (Ye Wanning: You woke me up in the middle of the night and said you wouldn't let me sleep unless I fed you!)
And then, and then, when she wipes the vomit off my chest after I've had too much to drink... she deliberately bends over to show off her curves!!! (Ye Wanning: The clothes I got at the market because they were a bargain are just loose-fitting.)"
Theme: Love yourself before you love someone else
Writing about such a miserable child is probably mainly to torture the readers. It is unreasonable to put it in the context of this military family compound. Now I have no good impression of the leaders of this unit. Not only did the army have leaders who were in charge of the soldiers, but the wives of the general leaders would also serve as women's directors or something like that. The parents who managed the military compound were short-sighted. Moreover, in those days, soldiers especially had to set an example for the common people. It was impossible to allow patriarchal preference and feudal superstition so freely.
This compound is poorly managed.
The army blatantly favors sons over daughters, violates national policy, abandons daughters, and is left unattended without punishment... Does the author remember that this is the army?
I'm going, I'm really disgusted. Author, do you know what you're writing? What the hell is this? The male and female protagonists are so holy, and the Zheng family won't punish them in any way.
I don't plan to follow this article anymore. I always feel that in the 1970s, equality between men and women should be severely punished, not on farms, but in the military. What if someone writes a report letter for favoring boys over girls, but the child is thrown away at will, and I feel that the male and female protagonists are a bit holy. It's not that they shouldn't raise that child, but something else. I can't explain how I feel. Anyway, I don't want to pursue it. Author, goodbye in the world, cry to death
This plot was so frustrating to watch. I regretted buying it just to find something to do. I saw that the plot was not in line with 70 and didn't say anything. This could be even more ridiculous. As for the female director, I really couldn't hold it in anymore. I got negative points for the first time.
Why didn't the army deal with the Zheng family's behavior of favoring sons over daughters and losing children? How outrageous! Others are following my example, what should I do? And the male and female protagonist just accepted it "silently"? Are people stupid because they have too much money?
The author must be poisonous. In an era when women hold half of the sky, it is still the army, and then you let them throw their children to the male and female protagonists and there is no loss. Are the male and female protagonists taken advantage of? Wow, why are there so many stupid x authors this year?
It's a disease to write articles!
Is there no women's federation in the family home? Does the army have no political commissar? No logistics? Is there no local police station? There are security guards in the family homes, and the rest are left to the biological fathers of the male and female virgins?
Can you still "acknowledge failure" after abandoning a child? ! !
Really sick. So disgusting! ! !
How can you still stay in the army if you are so petty, unorganized and undisciplined? Don't smear it, okay?
The more I read, the angrier I became. What was written? This is in the army. Children are abandoned when they say they are abandoned. There is no punishment. There are also a lot of people urging the heroine's family to adopt. What the hell?
