Seventy: The Delicate Military Wife Empties Her Enemy’s Fortune to Raise Her Children

Tang Wan, a modern woman and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, transmigrates into the body of a girl in 1970 China moments after the original owner commits suicide. The original Tang Wan was forced into an arranged marriage with Lu Huaijing, a soldier from a poor farming family, to protect her from the political persecution facing her father. Her parents, the Tang family, were once wealthy gentry who had donated much of their fortune before liberation but were later reported and imprisoned. To save her family, her parents publicly severed ties with her and her younger brother, Tang Zhou, sending Tang Wan to marry a man she had never met.

Upon waking, Tang Wan discovers she possesses a mysterious spatial dimension containing a massive mall stocked with supplies from her previous life, including food, medicine, and valuable goods. Recognizing the immediate danger, she acts swiftly. While her mother is being harassed by street officials, Tang Wan uses her space to empty their servant’s quarters and the main Tang family villa. She retrieves dozens of sandalwood chests containing gold, silver, antiques, jewelry, and secret family recipes hidden by her grandfather. She also clears out the study to destroy evidence that could have led to her parents’ execution for espionage, as framed by their enemies.

Tang Wan then meets Lu Huaijing, who is initially reluctant but agrees to the marriage due to his father’s dying wish. He is struck by her elegance and intelligence. Tang Wan insists on bringing her eight-year-old brother, Tang Zhou, who has been mistreated by their uncle’s family. Lu Huaijing agrees to support them, offering his monthly allowance. That night, Tang Wan sneaks out to raid the homes of those who framed her parents, including Deputy Director Su and the Qin family. She steals their hidden wealth, grain, and valuables, and plants evidence to frame Deputy Director Su, ensuring her parents are sent to a labor village rather than executed.

During the train journey to Lu Huaijing’s hometown, Tang Wan encounters Yu Juan, a girl who mocks her but later suffers when her own family’s greed backfires. Tang Wan maintains a low profile while secretly managing her space. Upon arriving at the Shiping Brigade, they face hostility from Lu Huaijing’s eldest sister-in-law, Li Cuihua, who resents Tang Wan’s delicate appearance and the burden of supporting Tang Zhou. However, Lu Huaijing’s mother, Wang Dani, fiercely defends Tang Wan, asserting her authority over the large, multi-generational household.

Tang Wan proves her worth by revealing that Tang Zhou is strong and capable of farm work, dispelling doubts about him being a burden. She also shares biscuits with Wang Dani, earning the mother-in-law’s affection. Lu Huaijing, touched by her kindness and resilience, places his entire savings and allowance in her hands, signaling his trust and commitment. The couple prepares for their wedding, with Wang Dani organizing a modest celebration despite the family’s financial constraints. Tang Wan navigates the complex family dynamics, securing her position while planning to eventually rescue her parents and rebuild her family’s fortune using the treasures hidden in her spatial mall.
