Love and Money: A Double-Handed Game in the 1980s

When Xue Qingqing wakes up, she's in the 1980s, having become the battalion deputy commander's wife: a woman who makes a scene, wears heavy makeup, and puts on a provocative act. Looking at herself in the mirror, Xue Qingqing feels like a mishmash of a painted opera performer, the five elements, and the five phases, all rolled into someone both ugly and tacky.

Can she blame her husband for wanting a divorce? Or the people in the military housing compound for shouting at her to leave?

No!

But faced with an unfamiliar era, and looking at the reassuring military housing compound and her soldier husband, Xue Qingqing makes up her mind. She can't get divorced! She can't leave the compound!

She changes her ways, gets ahead of the fashion trends and leads the way in making money. Before she knows it, she's become the richest businesswoman around.

Now financially independent and full of confidence, Xue Qingqing slaps the divorce papers down in front of her handsome husband.

Her tall, strapping husband furrows his brow. "Was I not good enough last night? You pull your pants on and then pretend nothing happened? I hand over my pay, cook the meals, wash the dishes, and look after the kids. What are you still unhappy about?"

Uh, this is why she says you have to make money and flirt with your man at the same time!
