A 1970s Military Marriage: The Cannon Fodder Only Wants to Relax and Enjoy the Drama

Meng Yanhuai, a daughter of a prominent family, was sent with her grandparents to labor in the most difficult, barren mountain village.

She was sickly every day and couldn't do any work, so the villagers shunned and bullied her. She could only sneak off to cry beneath the old camellia tree at the end of the village.

One freezing night, a local hooligan harbored ill intentions and cornered her beneath the old camellia tree. Overcome with terror, she was scared to death.

When she opened her eyes again, another soul had taken over her body. That very night, the old camellia tree burned to the ground, and the sickly Meng Yanhuai recovered.

But her luck was unpredictable. When it was good, she'd go out and find pheasants, rabbits, or even wild boars. When it was bad, she'd trip and fall all over the place, and other people would end up in the fields or the river.

Meanwhile, her childhood betrothed had been gravely injured on a mission. The doctor said he had less than a year to live, and he was now making his way a thousand miles to see her, dragging his battered, ailing body along.

He wanted one last look at the young woman he was promised to, and to say goodbye to her, even if only on his own.

Although Meng Yanhuai's luck was unreliable, she was so beautiful that the young men in the village still wanted to marry her. Then her fiance showed up.

As Qiao Yunjian made his way around the village, he heard all sorts of stories about his fiancee, Meng Yanhuai.

Meng Yanhuai could tell at a glance that he didn't have long to live. "My luck is unpredictable. I don't want to drag you down."

Qiao Yunjian frowned and warned her, "Don't spread superstitious nonsense. I don't believe in luck."

After being proven wrong several times, Qiao Yunjian pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Wife, it seems your luck depends on who's around."
