Transmigrating into a 70s-era novel, Lin Wanxing found she had become the unlucky, hard-working original wife.
Her fiancé, Gu Jianbin, to take care of his fallen comrade’s widow, faked his death and stayed in the borderlands.
Just to help that “good sister-in-law” live a good life, he’d rather not return home, letting his entire family cry their eyes out for him.
Lin Wanxing was amused and furious.
In her past life, because Gu Jianbin died before marriage, the original owner was forced into a “chaste widowhood” for a fiancé, and out of respect for the martyr, no one dared marry her.
The original owner could only go to the Gu family, taking care of the entire household, old and young, working like an ox and horse, adhering to the “three obediences and four virtues.”
She waited withered for thirty years, becoming an old widow, only to have Gu Jianbin return in glory with his comrade’s widow, saying they had developed deep feelings over the years and were now married, hoping Lin Wanxing would step aside.
Step aside for you? I’d be doing well not to turn your house upside down!
Lin Wanxing transmigrated right at the funeral hall.
Looking at Gu Jianbin’s black-and-white portrait, she directly flung the frame hard onto the ground.
Amidst everyone’s shock, she cried herself into a faint right there in the hall: “I don’t believe it! Brother Jianbin said… sob… he would definitely come back… If he couldn’t come back, he’d rather die than have me wait for him!”
“If he died in battle, I must immediately find a capable, reliable, and highly-paid partner to marry! Only then can he rest in peace! Sob… Where can I find one! Would anyone else even be willing to marry me?”
Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence in the crowd, a tall figure in a sharp military uniform suddenly stepped forward.
Gu Jianfeng, the broad-shouldered, handsome, and honest younger brother, silently wiped her tears, seemingly having made a decision.
Then he knelt, kowtowed, and vowed solemnly: “Brother, what you owe sister-in-law, I’ll repay.”
In the next instant, he lifted his head, his dark eyes asking: “Sister-in-law, I’m capable, reliable, have a high salary, will hand everything over. Are you willing to marry me?”
Lin Wanxing was stunned.
This… wasn’t this Gu Jianbin’s younger brother, Gu Jianfeng? The one who achieved a high position at a young age, even more accomplished than the male lead?!
This… marrying the brother-in-law?
Well, that might work too!

The decision to take responsibility for both branches of the family was a difficult one for Gu Jianfeng, but he vowed to take on his elder brother’s responsibilities in this lifetime and to treat sister-in-law right.
At night, he washed Lin Wanxing’s feet; in the morning, he steamed eggs for her. He handed over all his salary, returning covered in sweat to massage sister-in-law’s feet to help her relax.
Originally intending to treat each other with respect, but Lin Wanxing stepped on his robust chest, wrapped her arms around his lean, powerful waist… The bedding that had been cold for many years finally held warm jade and fragrant warmth…
At first, Gu Jianfeng’s bronzed face would still flush with embarrassment.
Later, he became addicted to the taste, actively coaxing her every night: “Wanxing, one more time…”

Having faked his death for a long time, Gu Jianbin, injured by accident, was living in a mess. Unable to bear having his comrade’s widow, the “good sister-in-law,” take care of him, he decided to return to his hometown to complete the marriage.
Bringing his sister-in-law back to his hometown, he saw Gu Jianfeng—whose shoulders now bore more insignia than his own—carefully supporting Lin Wanxing, who was already visibly pregnant, as if afraid she might bump or fall.
Gu Jianbin stared at that beautiful woman, whose cheeks were rosy and charming, with skin still smooth as congealed fat and white as jade. His eyes nearly turned red with rage! No one told him Lin Wanxing was this beautiful!
Wasn’t this his wife? How did she marry his brother?!

Lin Wanxing: You have your good sister-in-law. I am also someone else’s good sister-in-law.
