[Marriage first, love later, stepmother, raising a child, pocket dimension, everyday family life, fictional setting]
Medical PhD Chu Ranran wakes up in the 1970s, in the body of the real daughter who was framed by the fake heiress and sent to the countryside.
From the start, the fake heiress's parents sell her off to Jiang Weiqing, the poorest man in the village. She has to become a stepmother and raise her brother-in-law, too.
The fake heiress stole her parents and even married the original owner's sweetheart.
Everyone expected Chu Ranran to spend the rest of her life in misery.
Instead, she gets into college, becomes a renowned doctor, conducts research, and earns both fame and fortune.
Her devoted husband adores her, and she even becomes classmates with her brother-in-law at university.
Her adopted son grows up to be a tycoon, and the two of them share a deep mother-son bond.
Before long, she has it all.
When Chu Ranran first married Jiang Weiqing, she offered to look after his child for a year and a half.
Once the time was up, she would return double the bride price, and he would let her go.
The man gladly agreed.
It wasn't long before he changed his mind and tried every trick to seduce her.
Only one day after they had registered their marriage did Chu Ranran discover that the bride price she'd agreed to repay was four times what the man had actually paid.
When she learned the truth, she kicked him out of bed.
He scrambled up from the floor and smiled ingratiatingly at her. “I was just afraid you'd run off once you'd paid back the bride price. Forgive me, for the sake of the baby in your belly.”
Chu Ranran was speechless.
Wasn't he supposed to be fierce, aloof, and taciturn? Who was this shameless man in front of her?
Chu Ranran was furious. “Jiang Weiqing, where's your dignity?”
Jiang Weiqing gazed at her adoringly. “Who needs dignity in front of his wife? Between my dignity and you, I choose you!”
