The 1980s: The Sweet and Soft Little Beauty of the Big Boss Living on the IslandUpdated at Aug 12, 2025, 07:44
Ning Qiu was a renowned beauty of the compound, betrothed since childhood to the Jiang family under an arrangement made by the elders.
She was gentle by nature, physically delicate, and pampered by her family all her life.
The Jiang family’s eldest son was currently stationed on a remote island, and he had two younger brothers and a younger sister who were notoriously difficult to handle—no one dared to marry into that household.
Ning Qiu’s parents couldn’t bear to let her marry, but the government notice to move to the countryside had arrived.
How could someone as frail as her possibly endure that kind of hardship?
After much deliberation, the family finally agreed to let her marry and move to the island.
The journey there was harsh. As soon as Ning Qiu boarded the boat, she fell ill and dreamt a terrifying nightmare.
In her dream, she realized that their entire family was actually the “cannon fodder” mirror image of the male and female leads in a typical era romance novel.
In the novel, the original female lead and her husband lived in harmony, their marriage full of love.
But in Ning Qiu’s dream, her second brother-in-law frightened her with spiders, her third brother-in-law chased her with a broom, and her youngest sister-in-law cut up her clothes.
Commander Jiang, cold and distant, was always away on missions and never once stood up for her.
But when Ning Qiu woke up from the nightmare, she found a tall, handsome man by her side.
Commander Jiang was gently feeding her spoonfuls of nourishing chicken and coconut soup.
The three younger siblings stood in a neat line, obediently calling her “Sister-in-law.”
Ning Qiu: Why is this completely different from the dream?!
In the previous life, Jiang Hang’s new wife managed to guide the three mischievous siblings onto the right path, but died young while saving the youngest sister.
The whole family, in their grief and thirst for revenge, fell into a conspiracy and met a tragic end.
After Jiang Hang was reborn, the first thing he did was take the three troublemakers to the beach for a talk. But before he could even speak, the second brother had already dropped to his knees:
“Big brother, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have scared Sister-in-law in our past life. From now on, I’ll catch lobsters for her every day!”
The third brother sobbed: “Big brother, I was wrong too! I shouldn’t have chased her away. From now on, I’ll cook seaweed, crabs, and clams for her every day!”
The youngest sister wrung a chicken’s neck while ordering the second brother up a coconut tree:
“Sister-in-law loves chicken cooked with coconut the most! If you don’t pick the coconuts now, we won’t make it in time!”
The sound of wedding celebration firecrackers echoed across the island.
Jiang Hang turned his head and immediately spotted a small, timid figure peeking in his direction.
In that moment, he swore: This time, I will protect her no matter what.
At first, everyone on the island—comrades and military families alike—thought this new family would be utter chaos. Surely, such a delicate young bride wouldn’t be able to handle Commander Jiang or those unruly siblings.
But to everyone’s surprise—
Ning Qiu feasted on lobster and salted roe, her skin growing fairer and more radiant by the day. Life was sweet and joyful, and the once-rowdy siblings became obedient and caring.
She was pampered by the whole family.
