The Spoiled Military Wife Reigns Supreme, Her Officer Husband Can’t Take It

Ye Muqi, a seven-star executive chef from the modern era, dies in a taxi accident and transmigrates into the body of a twenty-year-old girl in 1980s China. The original host, Ye Muqi, was a spoiled and naive daughter of a steel factory worker and a cotton mill employee. Desperate to marry a soldier named Rong Jingchen who had rejected her, she staged a scandalous public scene that ruined her reputation and forced him to agree to the marriage. When he returned to his military duties, she jumped into a river in despair after a year of his absence. Ye Muqi awakens in a hospital, learning that her husband is returning home soon. She discovers she possesses a supernatural supermarket space filled with modern ingredients and a spiritual water source, which she plans to use to build a new life.

Rong Jingchen arrives early with his mother, Yin Lan. Initially, he views his wife as a dramatic and shallow woman, but he is surprised by her sudden maturity and restraint. Ye Muqi, determined to avoid the original host’s mistakes, hides her true identity and culinary skills. She impresses the family by cooking an exquisite meal using ingredients from her space, shocking everyone who remembers her previous kitchen disasters. Rong Jingchen, feeling guilty for abandoning her and recognizing her efforts, invites her to join him at the military base in Beijing. Ye Muqi accepts, seeing it as an opportunity to escape her gossipy hometown and utilize her cooking talents in a larger city.

Conflict arises with Ye Huihui, Ye Muqi’s cousin, who harbors jealousy and hidden resentment. It is revealed that Ye Huihui pushed the original host into the river, not out of accident, but malice. Ye Muqi confronts her cousin, exposing the truth and throwing her out of her home. Ye Huihui attempts to sabotage the marriage by following Rong Jingchen and slandering Ye Muqi’s character, claiming she is incompetent and dramatic. Rong Jingchen firmly rejects her accusations, defending his wife’s honor and warning Ye Huihui never to speak ill of her again. Meanwhile, Yin Lan notices Ye Huihui’s suspicious behavior and discreetly informs Ye Muqi’s mother, Xia Ying, leading to a quiet family decision to cut ties with the toxic relative.

As Ye Muqi prepares to leave, her parents lovingly pack her belongings, unaware of her spatial abilities. She spends her remaining days cooking for her family and solidifying her relationship with Rong Jingchen. Their interactions grow more comfortable, with Rong Jingchen beginning to appreciate her competence and kindness. The story concludes with Ye Muqi ready to depart for the military district, leaving behind her past trauma and the jealous cousin, while Rong Jingchen looks forward to building a genuine partnership with her. The narrative sets the stage for her rise in the military community through her culinary skills and her evolving marriage.
