Following the Army While Pregnant, the Drama Queen is Pampered by the Abstinent Boss

Lu Zhenzhen, a struggling actress in her previous life, dies after saving a child from a car accident and transmigrates into the body of a woman with the same name in 1970s rural China. She awakens on muddy ground, surrounded by villagers who are mocking her for being a persistent homewrecker. In this new identity, she is married to Gu Ye, a stoic soldier, but is obsessively in love with Xu Yanqing, her childhood fiancé who rejected her for his cousin, Li Xuemei. The original host had followed Xu Yanqing’s family to the countryside for three years, spending her entire salary and labor to support them, only to be deceived into swapping brides on her wedding night. Xu Yanqing and Li Xuemei conspired to switch the brides so they could marry each other, drugging the original host and forcing her to consummate the marriage with Gu Ye instead.

Upon realizing she has inherited this disastrous situation, Lu Zhenzhen immediately rejects the role of the submissive love-brain. She confronts Xu Yanqing and Li Xuemei in front of the villagers, delivering a series of violent slaps to Xu Yanqing and publicly exposing their conspiracy. She reveals that Gu Ye had submitted his marriage report three months prior, proving the swap was premeditated. Instead of continuing her shameless pursuit, she demands the repayment of 1,863 yuan that the Xu family spent using her money over the past three years. The villagers, who previously despised her, begin to sympathize with her as they witness her assertiveness and the Xu family’s guilt. Li Xuemei, also a transmigrator who remembers a past life where she ended up as a poor maid while Lu Zhenzhen became wealthy, is shocked by this change in behavior.

Lu Zhenzhen successfully collects 663 yuan in cash and secures an IOU for the remaining debt from Xu Yanqing and Li Xuemei. She returns to her husband’s home, the Gu family, where she is initially unwelcome. Mother Gu is timid and fearful, while the younger siblings, Gu Ning and Gu Shiwu, resent her for bringing shame to the family. However, Lu Zhenzhen’s attitude shifts; she pays Mother Gu for cooking and begins to treat the household with respect and financial contribution. Her behavior earns her a tentative truce with Gu Shiwu, who witnesses her physically dominating Xu Yanqing when he tries to harass her again. She publicly declares she will have no further relationship with Xu Yanqing and will beat him if he approaches her.

A significant turning point occurs when Lu Zhenzhen discovers she possesses a spatial storage ability, a "golden finger" from her previous life, containing a vast supply of modern food, medicine, and a smart robot. She also learns she is pregnant with triplets, fathered by Gu Ye. Realizing the original host’s kindness was exploited, Lu Zhenzhen decides to focus on her health and her unborn children. She seeks out three elderly hermits in the village who are actually hidden wealthy and influential figures from her past life. By treating them with respect and sharing food from her spatial storage, she begins to build valuable connections for her future. The story follows her transition from a abused, deluded wife to a self-reliant woman determined to secure a prosperous future for herself and her children, while navigating the complex dynamics of her new family and the lingering threats from the scumbag couple.
