Flash Marriage to a 70s Officer: I Survive by Eavesdropping and Slacking Off

Xu Jiajia, a modern office worker, transmigrates into a period novel as the villainess of the same name in 1972 China. The original character was engaged to Song Ran, a factory worker who despised her and desired the female lead, Xu Xin. After the original Xu Jiajia fell into a river and was rescued, Song Ran came to break off the engagement, calling her dirty. The original character’s stubbornness led to a tragic end where she tormented the female lead, resulting in her own death and the destruction of her family. Upon waking, Xu Jiajia discovers she has a Gossip System that reveals secrets. She learns that Song Ran’s father, Song Hanyong, had an affair with his sister-in-law and killed her husband to cover it up. With this knowledge, she decides to end the engagement on her own terms.

Xu Jiajia’s father, Xu Jianguo, is a protective single parent who can hear her inner thoughts, believing she has regained her lost soul. Together with Xu Jiajia’s grandmother, a former guerrilla fighter, they confront the Song family. The grandmother uses the knowledge of Song Hanyong’s affair to extort 600 yuan and ration coupons as compensation for the broken engagement. Song Hanyong, terrified of the scandal and his secret being exposed, agrees to the demands. After securing the money, Xu Jiajia deposits it in a bank passbook, which her grandmother keeps safe.

Shortly after, Xu Jiajia encounters Shen Yuebai, a handsome deputy battalion commander in the military. Shen Yuebai had previously saved her from the river and returned her lost ring. Impressed by his appearance, status, and generosity, Xu Jiajia decides to pursue him as a new partner. Shen Yuebai, feeling responsible for her reputation, proposes marriage. Despite the rapid pace, Xu Jiajia agrees, and they plan to marry quickly. Meanwhile, the body of Song Hanyong’s victim surfaces in the river. Xu Jiajia and her family report the discovery to the police, leading to Song Hanyong’s arrest for murder and his involvement with enemy agents.

Li Chengye, a local man who had been manipulated by Song Ran into confronting Xu Jiajia, later discovers the truth and apologizes. He learns that Song Ran was unaware of his father’s crimes and that the money was hush money. Li Chengye confronts Song Ran, leading to a physical altercation. The police subsequently arrest Song Ran for investigation due to his family’s connections. Xu Jiajia continues to prepare for her wedding to Shen Yuebai, shopping for supplies and managing social interactions. She maintains a friendship with Xu Xiaoyao, who stands by her during a conflict with Li Chengye’s mother. The story follows Xu Jiajia as she navigates her new life, avoiding the tragic fate of the original character while building a relationship with Shen Yuebai and dealing with the fallout of the Song family’s scandals.
