Jiang Lai transmigrates into the body of a scheming supporting female character. In the original story, the beloved female lead is her stepsister, who has taken over Jiang Lai’s job and her childhood betrothed.
Refusing to accept her fate, Jiang Lai rushes thousands of miles to the military district to fulfill her marriage contract. The man who comes to meet her is in full uniform, handsome and rugged—exactly her type.
“Are you Comrade Qi Ermao? I’m here to marry you.”
Qi Huaiye: “Yes, my nickname is Qi Ermao.”
The tough soldier, known for keeping the entire military district single, finally meets a woman brave enough to take him on. The base celebrates and quickly arranges benefits, fearing Jiang Lai might back out. Fellow military wives worry: Qi Huaiye looks fierce and has a blunt temper—how will she survive married life?
But after just one month of marriage, Jiang Lai proves herself indispensable: she rescues a cow, treats a chicken epidemic, and even establishes the country’s first military dog unit—earning the affection of everyone. Soon, the base petitions to “rescue Jiang Lai from the marriage trap!”
Qi Huaiye frowns: “Divorce? Don’t even think about it.” He is determined to earn unmatched military honors just to be worthy of her.
Later, when new neighbors move in, they introduce her husband with a smile:
“His nickname is Qi Ermao, also from Hongqi Village.”
Jiang Lai realizes she had mistaken his identity all along—and her husband is, in fact, the formidable figure who originally had a tragic ending in the story.
