Luo Yu, who died of anorexia, opened her eyes to find herself transported into another world, in the body of a broad-shouldered, heavyset young woman.
The young woman ate three huge bowls at every meal, and her family could no longer afford to feed her.
As it happened, she had just turned eighteen, and her family had arranged a childhood betrothal for her. So the Luo family sent her off to the military base to find her future husband with a letter and a bundle of belongings.
Luo Yu: "..."
Chu Nian received a telegram from home saying his fiancee was coming to marry him. His world came crashing down.
He still remembered when she had visited his home at the age of six and eaten a whole steamer basket of rice and a tin of malted milk powder.
He thought of his meager allowance...
He couldn't afford to support her. He really couldn't!
Unable to support his fiancee, Chu Nian decided to take a mission and make himself scarce.
Before leaving, he found the wealthy man in his regiment, Chu Yan, clasped his hands together, and begged his buddy:
"Commander, Brother Chu, for all the times I've risked my life for you and even taken a bullet in your place, please help me out."
"Take care of my fiancee for a while. If you can talk her into going home, I'll serve under you again in my next life and take bullets for you."
Seeing his buddy on the verge of tears, Chu Yan reluctantly agreed.
At the train station, Chu Yan and his orderly, Xiao Zhang, held up a sign and searched everywhere for the girl his buddy had described as the fattest girl in the whole place.
Instead, a graceful young woman approached, with skin as fair as snow and a figure perfectly proportioned.
She smiled brightly, her presence vivid and radiant, and asked, "Second Brother Chu?"
"Yes."
Chu Yan's Adam's apple bobbed as he replied with restraint.
Three months later, after completing his mission and receiving his reward, Chu Nian returned. Thinking he could support his fiancee for a while, he decided to get things over with quickly, explain everything, and send her home. So he went to Chu Yan again:
"Commander, thanks for taking care of things all this time. Where's Luo Yu? I'll send her home right away."
Chu Yan: "There's no need. She knows you don't want her, so she's found someone else."
"Who?"
Chu Nian asked without thinking. Chu Yan moved his lips and replied, "Me."
