The Pretty Military Wife of the '70s: Emptying the Enemy's Vault with Her Dimensional Space

In March 1976, a hardened survivor from a post-apocalyptic future awakens in the body of Xia Wanwan, a young woman who has just been beaten to death in a teahouse in Kyoto. Retaining her spatial storage ability and limited mind-reading powers, she immediately confronts her attacker, Liu Wenwu, a relative who had conspired to force her into a abusive marriage. Using her combat skills and psychic abilities, she brutally defeats him and is rescued from police detention by Lu Tingxiao, a military officer who happens to be on leave. Lu Tingxiao reveals that her father, Director Xia Chengzhi, once saved his life, establishing a connection that Xia Wanwan initially views with suspicion.

Xia Wanwan quickly uncovers the extent of the conspiracy against her family. Her second uncle, Bai Yanlang, and his wife, Liu Simu, orchestrated the framing of her father to seize his position as hospital director. They also manipulated her elder sister, Xia Yuwei, into a disastrous marriage with the abusive Tang Wendong. Determined to protect her family and live freely, Xia Wanwan launches a counter-offensive. Under the cover of night, she invades the homes of her enemies, using her spatial ability to strip them of all their wealth, including gold bars, cash, and valuables. She also cripples Bai Yanlang’s hands, ruining his medical career, and frames both families for corruption by submitting anonymous reports to the authorities.

Simultaneously, Xia Wanwan rescues her elder sister from domestic violence. After discovering that Xia Yuwei has been enduring abuse from her husband and his family, Xia Wanwan encourages her to fight back. In a display of cold ruthlessness, Xia Yuwei poisons the entire Tang family, including her husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law, using her expertise in chemistry. She stages the deaths to appear as natural causes or accidents, effectively becoming a widow and freeing herself from the marriage. The sisters then sell their respective properties and assets, accumulating significant wealth before preparing for their forced relocation to the countryside.

As the political climate shifts, the Xia family is sentenced to "Down to the Countryside" re-education in Dongninggou Village, Jiang Province. Xia Wanwan ensures that her elder sister joins them, reuniting the family. She also manipulates the placement of her cousins, Bai Huanxi and Liu Wenxin, sending them to the harsh Northwest instead, removing immediate threats. Unbeknownst to Xia Wanwan, Bai Huanxi has also been reborn with memories of a previous life where she married Lu Tingxiao. Confused by the altered timeline, Bai Huanxi attempts to reclaim her destiny by approaching Lu Tingxiao, leading to a tense confrontation with Xia Wanwan.

Lu Tingxiao, intrigued by Xia Wanwan’s fierce and independent nature, maintains contact with her. He introduces her to his family, including his young grandson, Qingzhu, whom Xia Wanwan had previously fed. During a dinner at the Lu residence, a playful yet charged interaction occurs over a chicken leg, signaling the beginning of a romantic tension between the two. Meanwhile, the Xia parents arrive in the countryside, facing harsh living conditions but remaining hopeful for their eventual rehabilitation. The story concludes with Xia Wanwan and her sister preparing to face the challenges of rural life, armed with their hidden wealth and unbreakable bond, while Lu Tingxiao’s unit is assigned to the same region, setting the stage for further entanglement.
