A Gramophone Connects to the Seventies, and I Spoil Dr. Huo Rotten

[Modern Era Meets the 1970s] [Bartering Supplies] [Doting on Her Husband]

Shen Li, the heir to a twenty-first-century hospital, unexpectedly made contact through a gramophone with Huo Yunting, a renowned doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the 1970s.

When she learned the Huo family was in trouble, Shen Li promptly stockpiled a huge quantity of supplies to help them.

In return, she received several boxes of antique jewelry. One vase alone was worth a fortune.

What? Someone wanted to pay a billion for a secret imperial recipe?

From then on, Shen Li embarked on a path to riches.

Food, medicine, techniques for growing Chinese herbs, advanced manufacturing technology: she traded them all for valuable goods from the past.

All the conceited men, the ex-husband, and the relatives who used his name to help manage the hospital could get lost!

Even the neighbors who had once avoided her like the plague were now enthusiastically trying to set her up on dates.

She gave a cold laugh and waved them away. Get lost, all of you!

She wasn't interested in those sorry excuses for men. Looking at the handsome man in an old photograph from that era, she clicked her tongue a few times.

That one, then.

Huo Yunting waited by the gramophone every day, hoping to hear that sweet voice call him "big brother."

One day, Huo Yunting heard that Shen Li was going on a blind date. His surgical knife stopped in midair. "I want to become Comrade Shen's revolutionary partner. Would three things that turn and ring, plus ten houses in the capital, be enough?"

Shen Li: "What are the three obediences and four virtues?"

Huo Yunting: "I will obey whatever my wife says, follow her wherever she goes, and submit to her every command..."

Shen Li: "Not bad, Comrade Huo. Let's get married!"

"All right!"
