The Laid-Back, Winning Ways of a Shanghai Couple

My husband and I had our souls mistakenly taken by a grim reaper. As compensation, we received a ten-billion inheritance and were reborn on our wedding night.

In our previous lives, we were Shanghai natives whose home had been demolished for redevelopment. We got along wonderfully with my mother-in-law and lived a happy life.

This time around, we started out with a fortune in hand. Our first move: spend a hundred million on an old Western-style house in the city center.

My mother-in-law grinned from ear to ear. “Nannan has such good taste! This house is perfect for the qipao you make!”

My husband went from being a 3D character modeler to a landlord in the blink of an eye, and I set up my hanfu design studio in one of our own shops.

Our boy and girl arrived ahead of schedule, and the whole family crowded around the old mansion’s fireplace to feast on hairy crabs.

The grim reaper secretly asked me, “Have you spent all ten billion yet? There’s another fool next door waiting for compensation!”

I waved my property deed and smiled. “What’s the rush? We Shanghainese manage our money for the long haul.”
