The moment Xu Laichi opens her eyes, she finds herself in a sweet romance set in a bygone era, cast as the unlucky foil. She's sent to the countryside to marry a twice-married man in someone else's place, and has to raise his child, too.
In her previous life, Xu Manni honored her engagement and married a much older man who had been married before. He was cold-hearted and abandoned her on their wedding night. Meanwhile, Xu Laichi found love on her own terms, married an official, and enjoyed a happy, comfortable life.
Reborn, Xu Manni is determined to change her fate and make Xu Laichi suffer the way she did in her previous life.
But after Xu Laichi marries the older man, she starts a small business and focuses on making money, barely paying attention to her husband. Instead, he treats her like his most precious treasure.
People tell her she needs to hurry up and have a baby if she wants to win a man's heart.
But Xu Laichi says, “What do men and children matter? Making money is what really counts.”
Many years later, Xu Manni, now in a bitter marriage, sees the wealthy older man holding the plainly dressed Xu Laichi's hand and cherishing her like a treasure.
But Xu Laichi is busy collecting rent, a ring of keys in her hand.
The older man gazes at her lovingly. “Honey, how about I make dinner for you tonight?”
Xu Laichi pushes his face aside. “Move. You're getting in the way of me making money.”
