In her previous life, Su Xia was deceived by her cousin and broke off her engagement to Shen Jiayan, an army officer. Her reputation in tatters, she followed Li Shuhua, a young intellectual assigned to work at an agricultural research institute, to the city and became a professor’s wife.
What she never realized was that Li Shuhua had been deceiving and using her for more than thirty years, making her slave away in his experimental fields for his research. He had long since started a family with the woman he truly loved, and Su Xia had supported their child for more than thirty years. In the end, the whole family framed her and left her to die.
Reborn, Su Xia puts her wicked cousin in her place and holds on to her engagement. She gets her blindly filial father to stand up to her parasitic grandparents and split from them. She takes on scoundrels and grows crops, excels at both the college entrance exams and research, and helps her family grow prosperous along the way. Her life is thriving.
When she runs into her scumbag husband from her past life again, he still tries to sweet-talk her into becoming his unpaid servant. Su Xia settles old and new scores, leaving her ex-husband scrambling.
Scumbag husband: “Su Xia, if you don’t marry me and instead marry a cripple, you’ll regret it. I’ll be waiting for you to get on your knees and beg me.”
The man beside her looks down at the scumbag. “A cripple? Keep bothering my wife, and I’ll make sure you become one.”
