70s Military Marriage: The Commander Controlled by the Delicate Supporting Lady

Shen Wanqing, a modern woman skilled in six languages, dies in a terrorist attack and transmigrates into the body of a military wife in 1975. The original host, also named Shen Wanqing, was known as a troublemaker in the Jianghai Military District. She had married Regiment Commander Jiang Xiao two years prior after her mother forced the rescued officer into marriage. The union was cold and distant, with Jiang Xiao harboring affection for his childhood fiancée, Chen Ke. The original Shen Wanqing, insecure and ostracized by other military wives, had acted out to gain attention, leading to her death when she fell into a river while fighting Chen Ke.

Upon waking in the hospital, Shen Wanqing discovers she has inherited a "Dedication to Duty" system linked to a modern hotel space. The system rewards her with points for sincere praise and job achievements, which can be exchanged for items from a store containing five thousand years of history. After taking a Marrow Cleansing Pill that heals her injuries and enhances her physique, she decides to transform her life. Confronting the three gossiping wives who had mocked her, she threatens to report them to the Discipline Inspection Department for discrimination and sabotage of a military marriage. Her calm, articulate demeanor shocks them, marking a stark departure from the original host's volatile behavior.

Meanwhile, Chen Ke arrives at the military compound, claiming Jiang Xiao broke their childhood engagement and demanding he divorce Shen Wanqing. She attempts suicide to manipulate the situation, drawing the attention of Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Song. Jiang Xiao remains unmoved, stating he will not divorce and that the engagement was legally voided years ago. He assigns the political instructor, Xiao Zhengye, to handle Chen Ke's resettlement. Shen Wanqing, aware of the danger Chen Ke poses, decides to investigate her rather than fight. She learns Chen Ke is a university graduate, prompting Shen Wanqing to resolve to study for the upcoming college entrance exams to prove her worth independently.

Shen Wanqing's transformation continues as she confronts her exploitative family. She visits her aunt and cousin in the countryside, demanding repayment of debts and reclaiming stolen textbooks. Using her modern combat skills, she physically overpowers her aunt and secures the books and food, refusing to be bullied any longer. Back at the compound, she submits a formal complaint letter regarding the wives' misconduct, which surprises Xiao Zhengye with its eloquence and legal precision. Jiang Xiao, initially suspicious of her sudden change, begins to notice her dedication to studying and her improved physical condition.

A key turning point occurs when Shen Wanqing overhears nurses gossiping that Jiang Xiao visited Chen Ke late at night. Misunderstanding his actions, she confronts him and demands a divorce, believing he is unfaithful. Jiang Xiao, unaware of the gossip, is confused but realizes her head injury may have caused dizziness. He takes her to the hospital for a checkup, where doctors find no physical injury, leading him to suspect she is faking symptoms. However, he also learns from the military doctor that her concussion symptoms are real, causing him to question his previous assumptions about her dishonesty.

The narrative shifts as Jiang Xiao receives Shen Wanqing's complaint letter from Xiao Zhengye. He is stunned to realize his wife, whom he viewed as an uneducated troublemaker, possesses sharp political awareness and elegant handwriting. This revelation forces him to reevaluate his perception of her. Shen Wanqing, focused on her studies and self-improvement, remains distant from Jiang Xiao, treating him with polite indifference. She sets clear boundaries, refusing to compete with Chen Ke and declaring her intent to succeed through her own efforts. The story establishes a dynamic where Shen Wanqing pursues education and independence while Jiang Xiao gradually becomes intrigued by her transformed personality, and Chen Ke's schemes begin to unravel against Shen Wanqing's composed resistance.
