[Reborn in a Bygone Era + Sweet Romance + Married First, Love Later + Raising Kids + Revenge + Building Wealth]
In her previous life, before her wedding, Zhu Ran discovered that she was the fake heiress who had been switched at birth. Afraid the real heiress would steal her fiancé, Zhu Ran, blinded by love, drugged him and forced him into a shotgun marriage. The real heiress then plotted to humiliate her. Later, the real heiress and Zhu Ran's husband personally arranged for her to be trampled to death by a mob during the millennium celebrations!
She had been childless for over a decade of marriage. After her death, the scumbag and his mistress celebrated their wedding with a son and a daughter, while her body was dumped in a mass grave. The only person who came to pay his respects was a strange, one-legged man who somehow felt both unfamiliar and familiar.
Zhu Ran watched him carve her gravestone with his own hands through tears, grieving and saying that he regretted it...
Living again, Zhu Ran promptly packed her things and returned to her biological parents' home in the countryside without a second thought, leaving the scumbag and her adoptive parents to the real heiress.
But on her very first day back, she discovered that the old bachelor with three children was the very man who had been the only one to visit her grave in her previous life!
Zhu Ran was stunned. When her son-obsessed grandmother tried to sell her to the village brigade leader's fool of a son as a bride, demanding an exorbitant bride price of one thousand yuan, she panicked and grabbed the old bachelor, asking him to marry her: “Comrade Gu, could I be a stepmother to your children?”
