Joined The Army And Already Expecting Multiple Pregnancies, The Laid-Back Wife's Good Fortune Begins

Jiang Qian is a twenty-year-old primary school teacher in a rural Chinese brigade during the late 1960s. Although she appears to be a local resident, she is actually a transmigrator from the twenty-first century who arrived two years prior. In her previous life, she was a successful food blogger with over a million followers. Upon transmigrating, she discovered a mysterious spatial dimension with a capacity of one hundred cubic meters where time stands still. Utilizing her savings, she had stockpiled vast quantities of food, gold, and essential supplies before her transition, ensuring she would be prepared for any hardship in this new era. Her body, originally weak due to an incomplete soul, has gradually strengthened as she adapted to her new identity. Jiang Qian lives with her father, Captain Jiang, her mother, Zhou Guiyun, and her three older brothers, along with their families. The household is large and close-knit, with the brothers working in agriculture and the fourth brother employed in the city.

The central conflict begins when Jiang Qian’s fiancé, Wang Hesong, arrives to cancel their engagement, which was scheduled for the following day. Wang Hesong, a junior official in the town, claims he cannot give her happiness and attempts to leave with a melodramatic speech. Jiang Qian, refusing to be humiliated, slaps him twice and publicly terminates the engagement herself. She later discovers the true reason for his betrayal: her cousin, Jiang Yue, has seduced Wang Hesong and is pregnant with his child. Jiang Yue is also a transmigrator who entered this world as a supporting character in a novel. Aware that the original plot dictates she will marry a soldier named Han Shiguo and become a widow, she seeks to steal Jiang Qian’s superior match to secure her own survival and happiness. Jiang Yue’s family, who had previously relied on the Jiang family’s financial support, covers for her deception.

Following the broken engagement with the Wang family, Jiang Qian’s mother, Zhou Guiyun, learns that the Han family’s engagement to Jiang Yue has also been dissolved. Seizing the opportunity, she arranges for Jiang Qian to meet Han Shiguo. The matchmaker, Zhang, enthusiastically promotes Han Shiguo as a deputy battalion commander who is tall, handsome, and highly eligible. Han Shiguo had actually spotted Jiang Qian helping his mother on the street and was immediately impressed by her character and appearance. He insists on offering substantial betrothal gifts, including the coveted "three turns and one bell"—a radio, bicycle, sewing machine, and watch—along with a dowry of forty-eight legs, far exceeding what the Wang family had offered. Jiang Qian, recognizing the value of this match and finding Han Shiguo physically attractive, agrees to the meeting.

The story progresses as the Han family visits the Jiang household to formalize the new engagement. Han Shiguo’s mother and father are eager to please, and Han Shiguo himself displays genuine interest in Jiang Qian. Meanwhile, Jiang Yue, unaware that her scheme has backfired, suggests that Jiang Qian take her place with Han Shiguo, secretly hoping that Jiang Qian will suffer the same tragic fate as the original novel’s heroine. Jiang Qian remains oblivious to her cousin’s malicious intent, viewing the situation as a stroke of good fortune. She accepts the marriage proposal, and her family celebrates the union with a prestigious military officer. Jiang Qian also arranges for her third sister-in-law, Su Zhirou, to take over her teaching position, ensuring the family’s income remains stable despite her impending marriage.

As the narrative continues, Jiang Qian prepares for her wedding to Han Shiguo. She maintains her secret space, using it to provide herself with better food and comfort while keeping her advantage hidden from her family and neighbors. The dynamic between the two transmigrators sets the stage for future conflict, as Jiang Yue’s knowledge of the plot contrasts with Jiang Qian’s independent spirit and preparedness. Jiang Qian’s calm and capable demeanor endears her to Han Shiguo, who sees her as an equal partner rather than a mere trophy wife. The story establishes a foundation of domestic stability and romantic development, while the underlying tension of Jiang Yue’s envy and the looming changes in the political landscape provide a backdrop for Jiang Qian’s new life.
