Forced to Marry a Rugged Man, I Started Living the Easy Life, and Now I’m Loving It

Eighties setting, raising kids and farming, marriage first and love later

Li Leyou transmigrates into a period novel with the same name, about a real and fake heiress.

As soon as she transmigrates into the book, her adoptive mother and the real heiress kick her out.

Before returning to the city, the real heiress, Liu Xinxin, got engaged to Lu Yanshen, a rugged country man.

Later, when they hear that Lu Yanshen has been in an accident, everyone assumes he is dead.

Liu Xinxin teams up with her biological parents to send Li Leyou to the countryside to be a substitute bride, live as a widow, and raise someone else’s children.

She steals the factory director’s son, whom the original Li Leyou had a crush on.

Eventually she marries the factory director’s son, only to find married life more bitter than coptis root.

Meanwhile, Li Leyou thrives in the countryside, because Lu Yanshen wasn’t dead at all and has worked his way up to become a tycoon.

The three children who were originally destined to be villains also grow into outstanding young people under her care.

Liu Xinxin regrets it bitterly. She rushes to divorce her husband and ruin Li Leyou’s marriage, but never gets her way.

Faced with the silly woman who has become his substitute bride, Lu Yanshen warns her, “Being a stepmother won’t end well. You can raise someone else’s kids, but they’ll never really be yours. When you’re old, you won’t even have a chicken coop to live in!”

She grins. “I get to be a mom without the pain of childbirth. It saves me the trouble of giving birth.”

Who would have guessed that in less than two years, Li Leyou would be very pregnant? She pouts at her husband, “This is all your fault! We already have three kids, and you still did this to me!”

Her husband replies affectionately, “We have to have one of our own.”

Years later, the children argue over whose home she should live in.

Eldest: “Mom has to live with me!”

Second: “She’s living with me!”

Third: “She’s living with me.”

Fourth: “She’s living with me!”

Lu Yanshen: “All of you, shut up! Why are you fighting over my wife? Of course she’s living with me.”

Oh dear, she’s become the darling of the whole family without even realizing it.
