The Eighties’ Little Maid Takes the World by Storm

Xia Qingluo, the daughter of the Xia family, worked as a housekeeper in a garrison district, earning more in a month than her parents made combined. An opportunity like that was rarer than a lantern-lit path, yet after just three years, the Xia girl came home with a lightweight snakeskin bag and quit her job. Gu Yanchi, the special forces captain who had only just recovered enough to stand again, drove after her, but Xia Qingluo turned him down without hesitation. “Now that I've left, I have no intention of going back!” Her father flew into a rage. “You unfilial girl! I'll beat some sense into you!” So what if there was no room for her at home? She still had her master! Xia Qingluo picked up her snakeskin bag, tucked away her compensation money, and finally found her master, a big shot rummaging through the trash in a desolate little alley... A great teacher produces an outstanding student. From then on, armed with silver needles and a book of medicine, Xia Qingluo began her remarkable rise. Something was off with Captain Gu in the garrison district lately. As soon as his rehabilitation ended, he was clamoring to take on the most dangerous frontline missions. And he kept coming back covered in injuries! This was serious! The old master and madam of the Gu family couldn't sit still. They came to her in person. “Dear Qingluo, go see that boy Yanchi. He's on the verge of dying.” Only when he was on the brink of death did Xia Qingluo understand that her heart had long been tied to the man before her. Later, when Xia Qingluo became pregnant, Captain Gu couldn't stop throwing up. The doctor examined him and said, “Why are there three heartbeats in this pregnancy?”
