Blurb:

Song Jinhe transmigrated and became a widow whose husband had just died in the seventies.

The young widow had lost her husband in her prime, with two hungry children to feed. Her brother-in-law wanted to seize the house that belonged to her and her children, so he drugged her and sent her to a man's bed.

The man was a good friend of her late husband. He was handsome and had a steady income.

Without a second thought, Song Jinhe packed her bags, took the children, and went with the army to an island.

The island was beautiful, and Song Jinhe's life as a military wife in name only grew happier and more carefree by the day. But that good friend gradually began to change.

Everyone knew Shen Ye was a notorious troublemaker on Xizhou Island, an unromantic man as cold as ice who spent all day training with a stony expression.

No one expected that after a trip home to visit his family, he would marry a twice-married widow with a child in tow.

At first, nobody thought the two were a good match. Shen Ye had a bright future ahead of him. How could he willingly let a widow boss him around?

But the longer time went on, the more they realized something was off.

Ever since the little widow arrived on the island, delicious aromas wafted from the Shen family courtyard at mealtimes: braised pork, mapo tofu, garlic prawns, crab stir-fried with ginger and scallions...

And the troublemaker Shen Ye went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy groceries every day. People even saw him squatting in the courtyard, scrubbing pots and washing dishes and clothes.

Some had even seen Song Jinhe stand with her hands on her hips and scold him, while he acted like a meek little wife, not daring to argue back.

Everyone: ...

For Shen Ye, marrying Song Jinhe was simply a way to help her escape a living hell.

But as time passed, he realized that he really had been putting on an act before.

Blurb:

Song Qihe had been pampered from childhood and had never lifted a finger to do housework.

Then one day, she transmigrated to the sixties, where supplies were scarce, people went hungry and cold, and her family tricked her into marrying a widower with three children.

Everyone: Song Qihe's life is ruined.

Little did they know, Song Qihe was overjoyed. Shen Que wasn't just any old widower. He had a steady salary and received a monthly allowance as well.

She would never have to worry about food and clothing again, nor would she have to work in the fields under the scorching sun to earn work points.

Song Qihe: The more opportunities like this, the better!

As for the three children, Song Qihe just smiled. She was a notorious playboy in the capital's social circles.

When it came to causing trouble, she was number one, and nobody dared claim second place.

"Commander Shen, look at this! Our flowers were perfectly fine, and now look what they've done to them!"

"Commander Shen, tell me, how many times has this happened now? My dog takes a detour whenever it sees them!"

"Commander Shen, you have to do something! Your three children took our kids along to fight!"

As everyone complained in his ears, Shen Que's face turned livid. He was about to lecture the three children standing obediently in a row before him.

But the children all raised their hands at the same time and pointed at Song Qihe, who was watching the show off to the side. In unison, they said, "Our stepmother started it!"

Song Qihe looked completely innocent. "I was wrong."

Everyone: ...

Shen Que: ...
