Jian Lu, a fair-skinned and soft-spoken beauty, finds herself transmigrated into a novel set in the '70s as a cannon fodder character with the same name. Born into a patriarchal family that yearned for a son, she was unloved and neglected, even as the youngest daughter. As she comes of age, her family schemes to marry her off to an abusive live-in son-in-law in exchange for a son, sealing her tragic fate.

Unwilling to accept such misery, Jian Lu takes matters into her own hands. Desperate to escape her family, she seizes an opportunity when the village matchmaker introduces her to a potential groom through nothing but a photograph. To Jian Lu’s surprise, the photo depicts Cheng Zheng, a dashing military officer and a supporting character from the novel who is known for his discipline, success, and eternal bachelorhood. The prospect of moving far away to his isolated island base and living a life without in-laws captivates her.

Cheng Zheng, a regiment commander stationed on a remote island, is equally shocked. His mother, desperate for grandchildren, forces a marriage upon him via a series of escalating letters and telegrams, culminating in the announcement: “Your wife is already on her way.” Though reluctant at first, Cheng Zheng finds himself increasingly drawn to his delicate and sweet new wife.

Amid the rough and demanding environment of the military base, Jian Lu’s charm and kindness shine. Her soft demeanor and culinary skills quickly win over the initially skeptical military community, while her marriage with Cheng Zheng blossoms into a deeply loving and supportive partnership.
