70s Military Marriage, Lucky Wife
Yessie Hartwell slipped in the bathroom and, with one careless step, landed in the 1970s.
The moment she opened her eyes, a top-tier military titan—Sean Yates—was at the door proposing marriage.
The man was devastatingly handsome, impeccably refined, and from a family so distinguished that his credentials left nothing to be desired.
She hesitated only a moment before accepting.
She’d assumed it would be a marriage of convenience; instead, married life exceeded every expectation.
Sean Yates was ruthless on the battlefield, but at home he turned into the perfect twenty-four-filial husband.
He handed over every cent of his salary, took care of every chore, and put her first in everything, spoiling her until she could do no wrong.
Plenty of rotten peach blossoms fluttered around him, yet none could get close—after all, sabotaging a military marriage was a serious crime.
Her in-laws were refreshingly easy.
Her mother-in-law kept a polite distance and never lived under the same roof, sparing them endless petty conflicts.
Her father-in-law doted on her and the child like priceless treasures, secretly mailing goodies to the family compound. No matter how her mother-in-law fumed—“a daughter’s child is still a grandchild!”—he stood firm: “Only the legitimate grandson counts.”
Yessie Hartwell gave a calm smile; her child was, of course, the one and only legitimate grandson.
Days passed in leisurely comfort. She spent her time teasing the baby and, when bored, gossiping with the neighbors in the military housing compound.
As Sean Yates climbed the ranks, the couple relocated with the army to the capital, leaping another rung on the social ladder.
No one expected that a casual project of hers would explode at the Canton Fair, raking in twenty million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange.
Bathed in glory, she graced newspaper headlines and stood on the stage of an official commendation ceremony, living the life everyone else could only envy.
