Synopsis

The short drama of the same name, Back to the Eighties: The Pretty Wife Reforms Her Good-for-Nothing Husband, is now a hit on Hongguo. You can go watch it, everyone. It's great!

Also known as I Married a Gangster Husband, and the Demolition Left Us Eight Apartments

Also known as Reforming My Gangster Husband, the Pretty Eighties Wife Hits the Jackpot

[Period drama x building wealth x family life x doting on the wife and raising kids]

Xie Yingying, a hopeless romantic, was literally angered to death in her previous life. She spent her whole life being timid and downtrodden, then, after being reborn, accidentally transmigrated into a period novel where two sisters fought over the same man.

Unexpectedly, her older sister Xie Lanlan had transmigrated into the book too and stole the "good" husband from Xie Yingying's past life. So Xie Yingying had no choice but to marry a good-for-nothing husband.

Even though she'd been dealt a terrible hand, Xie Yingying didn't get upset. She focused on figuring out how to turn her husband into a hardworking, capable man who doted on his wife and loved his children. She didn't just use psychological manipulation, she even brought military strategy and tactics into it.

The thing is, this good-for-nothing husband is clingy. If he can't see his wife for fifteen minutes, he'll run around the whole street shouting, "Yingying! Yingying! Come get your husband!"

People say a good woman is a man's school, and there's some truth to it. Good men are all lovingly trained by women!
