Transmigration: Becoming the Original Wife in a 1970s Novel, I Got a Divorce Immediately

Jiang Banyue transmigrates into the body of a military-era novel character, becoming the tragic first wife of Commander Shen Yunhe. In the original story, she dies giving birth to triplets, leaving Shen Yunhe to raise the children alone. A manipulative woman named Liu Juan enters their lives, pretending to be kind while secretly spoiling the children rotten, which leads to their eventual ruin: the eldest dies in an accident, the second is imprisoned, and the youngest dies from complications after being deceived by a married man. Shen Yunhe only realizes the truth too late, but the damage is irreversible. When Jiang Banyue wakes up in the hospital after a fight with Liu Juan, she decides to break the cycle. She confronts her reality: she is pregnant with triplets and married to a man who is emotionally distant and frequently absent. Instead of repeating the original plot, she proactively demands a divorce. Shen Yunhe, exhausted by their constant arguments and eager to escape the tension caused by Liu Juan, agrees immediately. They finalize the divorce, and Jiang Banyue leaves with a bankbook containing Shen Yunhe’s savings, which she accepts as child support.

Jiang Banyue returns to her hometown in Chuan’an County with her unborn children. She purchases a narrow, two-story building for a low price and renovates it into a home and a bakery named "Sweet Little House." Using skills from her previous life as a pastry chef and a mysterious spatial dimension that provides unlimited supplies and fresh produce, she opens her shop. She gives birth to two boys and a girl, naming them Jiang Huaijin, Jiang Huaiyu, and Jiang Huarou. As she raises the triplets alone, she discovers that her eldest son, Huaijin, is also a transmigrator who retains memories of his past life. Huaijin reveals that in the original timeline, he was murdered, his siblings were destroyed by Liu Juan’s influence, and their father, Shen Yunhe, died during an undercover mission. This revelation shocks Jiang Banyue, as it suggests the original novel may have been inaccurate or that a larger conspiracy targeted the Shen family.

While running her business, Jiang Banyue meets Gu Qingci, a successful clothing factory owner. Their relationship develops gradually, especially after Gu Qingci helps her during a medical emergency when her youngest daughter falls ill with a high fever. He stays by her side throughout the night, offering emotional and practical support. Jiang Banyue feels conflicted; she appreciates his kindness but believes she is unworthy of a man as distinguished as him due to her status as a divorced mother. Meanwhile, Shen Yunhe begins to regret his hasty divorce. He visits his ancestral village and learns from his family how much he has lost. Upon returning to the military base, he discovers from a subordinate that Jiang Banyue has triplets who resemble him. Realizing he was unaware of his children’s existence, he is consumed by guilt and desperation. He rushes to Chuan’an County, determined to reconcile with Jiang Banyue and reclaim his family.

Shen Yunhe arrives at Jiang Banyue’s shop just as Gu Qingci is dropping her off after the hospital visit. He watches from his car as Jiang Banyue interacts warmly with Gu Qingci and their children. The sight of another man holding his son triggers a surge of possessiveness and panic. Shen Yunhe confronts Jiang Banyue, pulling her into an embrace and declaring that he is the father and intends to stay. He refuses to let her raise the children alone or move on with someone else. Jiang Banyue struggles against him, insisting on her independence, but Shen Yunhe is resolute. He reveals that he has been waiting outside since early morning, driven by an inability to accept losing them. The story ends with this tense standoff, as Shen Yunhe asserts his presence in their lives while Jiang Banyue must decide whether to forgive him or continue building a future with Gu Qingci.
