The Delicate Wife of the 1960s: One Pregnancy, Six Babies—Spoiled by a Cold-Faced Military Officer

Xu Zhaozhao, a top-tier livestreamer from the twenty-first century, dies in a traffic accident and transmigrates into the body of an eighteen-year-old woman with the same name. This original Xu Zhaozhao is the cannon fodder first wife in a dog-blooded novel set in the 1960s, married to Chen Zheng, a deputy battalion commander in the military district. The original owner is timid, malnourished, and pregnant with sextuplets, facing vicious slander from her mother-in-law Wang Guifen and sister-in-law Li Xiuhua, who accuse her of infidelity and carrying another man’s child. Upon waking in a dilapidated room, Xu Zhaozhao activates the Multiversal Merit Livestream System, which connects her to parallel-world viewers who provide real-time commentary and strategic advice.

The core conflict begins immediately as Li Xiuhua confronts her with abuse, demanding she admit to adultery. Using the system’s bullet-chat hints, Xu Zhaozhao discovers that Wang Guifen has been embezzling Chen Zheng’s monthly allowance and ration tickets to subsidize her own biological son’s family, leaving the pregnant Xu Zhaozhao with barely enough food to survive. Xu Zhaozhao counters the accusations by exposing Wang Guifen’s theft of a cloth ration ticket, forcing the mother-in-law to hand over household financial control to avoid public scandal at the family committee. This marks her first victory, securing basic resources and shifting the power dynamic within the Chen household.

Recognizing the danger of the rumors, Xu Zhaozhao seeks official medical proof. Guided by the livestream viewers, she avoids the corrupt town clinic and instead approaches Director Liu, an upright official at the Family Committee. She successfully obtains an introduction letter to the military district hospital, where Director Li confirms via ultrasound that she is carrying six healthy babies at sixteen weeks. The diagnosis certificate serves as irrefutable evidence of her innocence, directly contradicting the claims of infidelity. Xu Zhaozhao returns to the compound and publicly displays the certificate, silencing the gossiping neighbors and humiliating Wang Guifen and Li Xiuhua, who are forced into temporary submission.

Despite this victory, the hostility does not cease. Wang Guifen retaliates by locking up the food supplies and starving Xu Zhaozhao, attempting to force her into compliance. Xu Zhaozhao circumvents this by trading her sewing skills with sympathetic neighbors for food, preserving her dignity while gathering evidence of the abuse. She also writes letters to her estranged husband, Chen Zheng, carefully balancing reports of her health with subtle hints of the neglect she suffers, aiming to secure his emotional and financial support. The narrative introduces a new threat in the form of Su Wanqing, Chen Zheng’s childhood friend and a cultural troupe performer, who arrives in the compound and subtly undermines Xu Zhaozhao’s credibility in public, revealing a deeper romantic history with the absent husband.

As the story progresses, Xu Zhaozhao navigates the complex social hierarchy of the military compound, building alliances with kind neighbors while systematically dismantling the schemes of her antagonists. She uses her modern knowledge and the system’s merit points to improve her nutrition and health, ensuring the survival of her sextuplets. The conflict evolves from domestic abuse to a broader struggle for social standing and marital legitimacy, with Xu Zhaozhao determined to protect her children and establish her authority in a hostile environment. The arrival of Su Wanqing signals that the challenges ahead will involve not just family intrigue but also romantic rivalry, setting the stage for a prolonged battle for her place in Chen Zheng’s life and the future of her large family.
