The Pretty Wife Who Moved into the Military Compound

Chen Yufeng and Han Chao had an arranged marriage. They were childhood betrothed and even had a pair of adorable little kids together.

With Han Chao returning triumphantly from the battlefield, everyone praised her for her good fortune. She would finally get to move to the city, live in the military compound, and enjoy a better life.

But Chen Yufeng couldn’t shake her anxiety. Because of their childhood engagement, Han Chao had always seen her as nothing more than a little sister.

On top of that, she had a dream—one that revealed she was just a side character in a book. In the story, Han Chao wasn’t just a supporting character; he was a god-like male lead, even more impressive than the official protagonist. He was destined to become the greatest pillar of support for the female lead’s family and eventually the godfather to the female lead’s stepchildren.

As for her, she was merely the beautiful but ordinary country wife from an arranged marriage. Not only would she fail to properly raise her own children, but in her desperation to have a son, she would die in childbirth. She was simply a tragic foil in this “stepmother story,” and her kids were there only to highlight how exceptionally well the female lead could raise children.

However, Chen Yufeng thought otherwise. As long as she didn’t chase after a third child and avoided an early death, her cold husband would continue to rise through the ranks. And with her talent for Yunnan-Guizhou cuisine—smoked bacon, ham, eight-treasure rice, pickled vegetables with dipping sauce, and fermented chili—she could open a small eatery in the military compound. She could make delicious food, raise her kids, live life on her own terms, and ensure her children grew up safe and well-educated.

After seven years of separation, the couple finally reunited. Han Chao quickly realized his wife was nothing like before.

She asked, “Brother, do you think Commander Zhang’s kids are better, or are our kids better?”

Then she added, “Brother, they say having a son fulfills all a man’s wishes. If we’re not planning to have more children, how about we sleep in separate beds?”

After finally coaxing the little ones to sleep in the next room, Han Chao stood there, utterly confused. “…???”

Of course, our kids are the best.

No more children? Fine. But separate beds? Absolutely not!
