After the Marriage Swap, the Missing Officer Returns

(Alternate-History Setting + Military Marriage + Domestic Life + Marriage Before Love + Rise to the Top)

In her previous life, Chi Juan thought her parents favored sons over daughters, and that the marriage swap was meant to save the bride price so her older brother could find a wife. Only when her brakes were tampered with and she crashed, close to death, did she learn that her cousin and Wang San had deceived her for more than twenty years. He was the man she had eloped with against all odds to marry.

She had miscarried and even had her uterus removed for the sake of her cousin's unborn child, and the money that had made her family rich had actually come from her mother. Yet she had misunderstood her parents all along. Without hesitation, Chi Juan tossed her lit lighter onto the gasoline beneath her. Seeing the two scumbags' faces twist in terror made her want to laugh.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the night she eloped.

Those who set her up, you can reap what you sow. Without her sacrifices, will the two of you still love each other so deeply?

She would go through with the marriage swap. With her parents still alive and her brothers safe and well, all she wanted in this life was to make money and give her family a better life.

But just as she became absorbed in making money, her missing husband returned.

That would have been surprising enough, but he turned out to be a big shot in the military. And that would have been surprising enough, too, but he was also the young master his mother-in-law had taken in.

As for the two people who had set her up back then, all they could do now was look up to her.
