Reborn in the '80s: Military Wife
墨書 Inktalez
In the last moment of consciousness, what swayed before my eyes was that large red veil, a symbol of celebration and homecoming. Yet, the air around me was thick with the strong scent of disinfectant and… gas.
On the cold operating table, I could feel my life slipping away bit by bit. The small life within me, still unformed, along with my hopes, turned into blood and water. In my ears was the fake sobbing of my so-called "good friend," Bai Ling, who was also my husband Lu Jianjun's childhood "good sister."
"Sister-in-law, why are you so foolish? Even if you saw me in an embrace with Jianjun, you shouldn’t think like this! The child is innocent! Jianjun was just confused for a moment; he still cares for you! Wuwuwu..."
Confused for a moment?
I summoned the last bit of strength to want to tear apart her hypocritical face! If it weren't for her deliberately showing up with her slightly rounded belly, crying about how Jianjun couldn't help himself and promised to marry her; if it weren't for her leading me to discover them cuddling in the storage room at the Military Family Compound; if it weren't for her "kindly" helping me home when I was emotionally overwhelmed, only to turn on the gas valve while I was dazed… how could I have fallen to such depths?!
Lu Jianjun! The man for whom I defied my parents' objections to marry, giving up my acceptance letter from a city university to follow him to this remote military base! The man who promised to treat me well for a lifetime and make me the happiest Military Wife! Where is he now? Comforting his weak and pitiful "good sister"? Or is he rejoicing that this "unreasonable" yellow-faced woman, who obstructed his future, is finally going to die?
In three years of marriage, I poured out my heart and soul, living frugally to take care of him and his family, only to be met with a sharp-tongued mother-in-law, a cold and hypocritical husband, and a snake secretly coveting my position! I am unwilling! I, Su Qinyu, have lived twenty-two years only to become a complete joke!
The gas thickened around me as my consciousness faded… If I could start over, I would make this pair of dog lovers and that venomous family pay in blood!
Chapter One: Awakening from Nightmare, Ripping Bai Ling Apart
"Ugh..."
The blinding sunlight and the loud sound of a military bugle jolted me awake. Sitting up suddenly, I gasped for air, drenched in cold sweat.
Looking around, there was an old wooden bed with patched sheets, a wall adorned with a propaganda poster reading "Support the Military and Love the People," and on the bedside table sat a chipped enamel mug… This is… the Military Family Compound? My new house with Lu Jianjun?!
I pinched myself hard—ouch! This isn’t a dream!
Could it be… I’ve been reborn?! Back to when?
I stumbled over to the only cracked mirror in the corner. The reflection showed a young but haggard face wearing an old polyester shirt; my complexion was somewhat sallow and my hair disheveled… This was me shortly after getting married!
I remembered—it was the summer of 1983! I had just married Lu Jianjun three months ago! In my previous life at this time, I was immersed in the "sweetness" of newlywed life, foolishly learning how to manage household chores and trying to please my mother-in-law. I treated Bai Ling as if she were my own sister.
It was from this time that Bai Ling began to shadow me under the guise of "helping me adapt" and "taking care of Jianjun," starting her subtle schemes against me!
