Becoming a Military Wife and Raising Twins—Sweet Life With The Army in The 1970s.

Xu Yi is a modern woman who inherits a mysterious spatial dimension from her parents after they vanish on her eighteenth birthday. The space functions as an infinite, automated paradise where crops grow in weeks, livestock thrives, and harvested goods are stored in a boundless warehouse. Living a comfortable life collecting rent from inherited properties, Xu Yi discovers she can transport items into the space by touching them. Her routine is disrupted by recurring nightmares of two starving children begging her not to sell them. After a car accident, she wakes up in the body of a woman with the same name in 1970s rural China. The original owner was a neglectful mother who favored an educated youth named Luo Hao over her own twin children, Shen Muguang and Shen Qiutong, eventually attempting to sell the twins for food money.

Upon awakening, Xu Yi finds herself in a dilapidated house with hungry, malnourished children and empty cupboards. Two women arrive to take the children, having been paid by Luo Hao, who is manipulating the situation from the shadows. Xu Yi violently repels the buyers, claiming she never agreed to the sale and that Luo Hao is the true culprit. Her mother-in-law, Li Chunling, is skeptical but watches closely as Xu Yi begins to change. Xu Yi uses her space to provide the children with nutritious meals, clean clothes, and hygiene, slowly rebuilding their trust. She cleans their filthy home and establishes a routine of care, contrasting sharply with the original owner’s cruelty.

Conflict arises quickly with the extended Shen family. Sun Yanhong, the wife of Xu Yi’s eldest brother-in-law, confronts her over food Li Chunling gave to Xu Yi, accusing her of stealing from the family. Xu Yi retorts with sharp wit and physical force, kicking Sun Yanhong when she attempts to enter the house. She also encounters Zhao Ju and Yu Juan, fellow educated youth who spread rumors about her infidelity with Luo Hao. Xu Yi slaps Zhao Ju for the false accusations and threatens legal consequences, forcing an apology. Luo Hao himself appears, demanding the six dollars he claims she owes him for the failed child sale, revealing his greed and manipulation.

Xu Yi navigates the harsh social dynamics of the commune, protecting her children from starvation and familial exploitation. She stocks up on supplies in the space, including old-fashioned fabrics and baby goods, preparing for a long-term stay. The narrative follows her efforts to secure a stable life for her family while dealing with the lingering threats from Luo Hao and the judgmental village community. Her modern knowledge and the resources of the space give her an advantage, but she must maintain a low profile to avoid suspicion. The story focuses on her transformation from a neglected wife into a protective mother, as she works to heal the emotional and physical scars on her children while outmaneuvering those who seek to harm them.

As the weeks pass, Xu Yi continues to build a domestic sanctuary within the confines of this historical setting. She teaches the twins basic manners and self-defense, fostering a bond that the original owner never provided. The children begin to thrive, gaining weight and confidence under her care. Meanwhile, tensions with the Shen family escalate, particularly with Sun Yanhong’s envy and Li Chunling’s cautious observation. Xu Yi’s actions challenge the traditional expectations of a military wife, as she asserts her independence and refuses to be a victim of the village’s gossip and Luo Hao’s schemes. The plot advances through daily struggles for resources and social standing, highlighting the resilience required to survive in a resource-scarce environment.

The core conflict remains centered on Xu Yi’s determination to keep her family safe from the predatory intentions of Luo Hao and the neglectful attitudes of her in-laws. She uses the space to secretly provide for her needs, ensuring the children are well-fed and clothed while presenting a facade of conformity to the villagers. The narrative explores themes of redemption, maternal love, and survival, as Xu Yi reclaims her identity and the identities of her children from the wreckage left by the original owner. Her journey is one of adaptation and protection, using her unique advantage to create a better future for her family in a challenging era.
