The Sweet, Spoiled Daily Life of a Foolish Beauty in the Military [1960s]

Jiang Wanyu, a leading researcher in the interstellar era, unexpectedly transmigrates into a period novel as a delicate, fair-skinned beauty, the real daughter of the family.

Just after being reunited with her birth family, the real heiress is told that her family has fallen on hard times. To keep her safe, they arrange a marriage for her.

Her biased parents give the real heiress's match to the impostor, then marry the real daughter off to a soldier stationed in a remote border region. On the way to join him, the real heiress is abducted by human traffickers and dies.

Jiang Wanyu has barely transmigrated when a matchmaker arrives to propose a marriage, and before she can say a word,

The awakened fake heiress, Zhao Jingdan, cuts in: "My sister is simple-minded. She'd never adjust to moving so far away, so I'll marry the soldier instead."

Zhao Jingdan knows that marrying a worker at the meat-processing plant would mean a stable life, but also endless dishes to wash and child after child to raise. The soldier Jiang Wanyu is supposed to marry, however, will later become a business tycoon. Since Jiang Wanyu isn't destined for such good fortune, Zhao Jingdan figures she might as well enjoy it herself.

The worker at the meat-processing plant doesn't want Jiang Wanyu, so the matchmaker suggests another match: the eldest son of the Zhou family. He's a decorated war hero and a kind man, but he was injured in battle and can no longer have children. Jiang Wanyu has some problems of her own, so they're a perfect match.

So he's rich, and can't have children, but can still be looked after?!

What a deal!

Jiang Wanyu agrees at once.

Zhou Shuyan is a refined, handsome man with an impressive record of military service, yet he has remained unmarried because of his physical condition.

He never expected his parents to arrange a marriage for him with a simple-minded girl.

Looking at the lovely young woman, with her watery eyes and fair, tender skin, he sees how timid she seems.

Knowing that marrying him would hold a woman back, and having heard that Jiang Wanyu has the intellect of a five-year-old and has lost her family, Zhou Shuyan feels he has no choice but to keep her by his side and care for her devotedly.

When people ask, he simply says he's gained a little sister. Everyone praises Zhou Shuyan for his kindness.

Then Jiang Wanyu resumes her scientific research, going from rudimentary equipment to cutting-edge chips, stunning the whole country and becoming a national treasure of a scientist!

The military base erupts with rumors. Wasn't she supposed to be a fool? Turns out she's a genius, and now people are even showing up to ask for her hand in marriage.

Zhou Shuyan, who has always treated Jiang Wanyu like a younger sister, gives them a cold look. "Get lost!"

Zhao Jingdan, who married the soldier, is initially thrilled. She expected to sit back and laugh at Jiang Wanyu, but instead her husband cheats, her in-laws bully her, and she eventually falls into poverty.

She watches helplessly as Jiang Wanyu earns fame throughout the country, held protectively in the arms of that stern military officer.

"Impossible! You were supposed to be dead!" Zhao Jingdan stares at the newspaper headline and screams in despair.

P.S. The male lead's condition was misdiagnosed.
