Timid and meek Lin Suisui made the boldest — and most regrettable — decision of her life when she forced Huo Changzheng to marry her. To get back at her, he returned to the army the day after their wedding and, over the next five years, visited home only three times. She was left alone to endure pregnancy, childbirth, and raising their son.

When their child turned four, rumors spread that Huo had gotten close to a leader’s daughter. Furious, Lin decided to file for divorce. But that night, she had a terrifying dream — revealing that she was actually a cannon-fodder first wife in a 1970s-era novel. According to the plot, not long after divorcing the male lead Huo Changzheng… tragedy awaited her.

Would she accept her fate — or change the ending written for her?
