Xiaoman Heads into Momentous Years

About the story

To escape her stepfather's pressure to send her to the countryside, Su Xiaoman decisively enters a whirlwind marriage with the cold-faced officer Huo Zheng, who does not want children for now because of his dangerous missions. After marrying, she confronts her exploitative family and hypocritical childhood friend, then follows her husband to the far southwest. At his posting, Xiaoman uses her intelligence and skills to care for her sickly sister-in-law, outwit a romantic rival and help the family compound start livestock-raising and crop-growing projects. Through their days together, the couple gradually falls in love, beginning a passionate life of marriage before romance and standing side by side.
