Zhan Aiping, a girl raised in a large compound, is known for her fiery temper and is likened to a little chili pepper. She’s a female military doctor who later falls for a cultured and refined professor, leaving the military to marry him and dedicating herself to domestic life. However, the marriage ends in divorce, and she is estranged from her children.
Gu Sheng, a man also raised in the same large compound and her childhood adversary. They fought as kids and lost touch as adults. Unexpectedly, in their fifties or sixties, they find themselves in a late-life romance.
After a rebirth, she returns to the seventies, just before her original wedding. She finds herself trapped by the two-faced tactics of her ex-husband and his mother:
“Entering the He family means following our rules.”
“Aiping, just bear with it, for our future…”
Zhan Aiping defiantly responds, “I don’t give a damn about these rules! I won’t marry!”
Her stepmother and stepsister try to convince her, advocating traditional subservience to her future husband and his family. But Zhan Aiping refuses to be subjugated.
Her colleagues, aware of the wedding preparations, find the situation amusing and pressure her to conform.
Zhan Aiping, however, decides to change her groom instead:
“Gu Laowu, do you want to marry me?”
A handsome man in military uniform, Gu Sheng, raises an eyebrow: “Marry you? Are you saying my brain’s been kicked by a donkey?”
Before the marriage:
“Once she’s my wife, I’ll slowly tame her.”
“I’ll make sure she’s completely obedient.”
After the marriage:
“My wife, I was wrong.”
“My wife, let me in the house!!!”
Zhan Aiping retorts, “Who’s taming who now?”
Zhan Aiping x Gu Sheng
A daily life story filled with chaos, sweetness, and love
令人惊喜的是，主角医生的职业发展与她最初的设想大相径庭，她最终成为了一名知名作家，还开了一家中医诊所。当他们老去时，这个转变让人觉得温馨。
额外的内容也非常有趣：1）男主角穿越回过去的特别篇；2）大女儿与儿时好友的感情线；3）小女儿以四岁小孩的身份回到父母结婚前，叫爸爸的情节让男主震惊，超级搞笑；4）小女儿的爱情线同样引人发笑。
总之，这是一部轻松愉快、充满喜剧和生活气息的小说，非常适合喜欢这种类型的读者。
