After Forcing Myself on the Beauty of the Compound

Su Liu suffered a serious injury when she was young and was diagnosed as infertile.

To repay a debt of gratitude, her father and stepmother planned to marry her off to a violent man with an intellectual disability.

To make it happen, they set a trap and told Su Liu a colossal lie.

At that moment, Pei Zhiheng saw through the couple's intentions and intervened, using his influence to arrange a marriage with Su Liu.

Unaware of the truth and overwhelmed by confusion, Su Liu ran off in the middle of the night to stay with a friend.

That step set her on a tumultuous path:

Work, an assignment abroad, a return to the countryside, and finally starting a business that made her a local powerhouse.

She endured every hardship she could have avoided, yet never got to enjoy the simple comforts she should have had.

Reborn in 1958, at the turning point of her fate, with a pocket dimension at her disposal, Su Liu chose to marry Pei Zhiheng.

In her previous life, he had nearly given his life saving her and died young. That was her greatest regret.

Of course, getting married simply meant taking a different path together. It didn't mean she could look on the bright side:

She was a firecracker of a woman from a military compound, and he disapproved of plenty of things she did. The odds of them getting along peacefully were zero.

Su Liu tried to get Pei Zhiheng to make a few promises:

“You'll give me all the benefits you promised, and I'll decide how to use them.”

Pei Zhiheng nodded.

“After we marry, we'll live our own lives, and take turns doing the housework.”

“Sounds good.”

“We'll make decisions democratically. You can't argue with me.”

“...Can we call off the wedding?”

In the end, they got married.

Bickering and fighting became part of daily life. What Pei Zhiheng couldn't ignore was Su Liu's habit of stockpiling supplies. She was always shaking him down for various ration coupons.

It wasn't until the hungry years came that Pei Zhiheng realized his wife's foresight. Su Liu didn't give him a chance to celebrate, though.

“You'll pay me for meals every month. Otherwise, you don't eat.”

“Fine, I'll hand over everything we own later. I won't go hungry again, no matter whether our money is public or private.”

He laughed as he scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom.
