This work has been adapted into the animated series Love and Fulfillment in the 1980s: I Lead My Simpleminded Husband Toward Prosperity.
There is no transmigration or being reborn, just an ordinary story of family life. A hardworking couple builds a better life, raising their son and nephew.
A feisty young wife from Northeast China faces every obstacle alongside her simpleminded husband as they work toward prosperity.
The story spans the 1980s and 1990s. Li Qiaoyue, a fiery young woman from Northeast China, is forced to marry a fool so she can help her younger brother find a wife.
On her wedding night, before she can even enter the bridal chamber, she is made to put on mourning clothes and keep vigil, and is cursed as a bringer of bad luck.
Her in-laws mistreat her, her birth family turns her away, and she and her husband are driven out of the house. Only then does she discover her husband's secret.
From that day on, all she wants is to make a good life for herself.
She goes into the mountains to gather wild produce, but the arrival of a mistress drives the couple apart, forcing them to move to the city.
From clashing with her husband to joining forces with him and their children, they break through the obstacles amid the tide of the times.
Together, they grow in their careers, relationships, and family life, and realize their own worth.
This book very realistically reflects the lives of ordinary people in Piraimaru. The detailed language is worth reading below.
Although the plot of the story is fictional, it truly depicts the ugliness of human nature and the sadness and helplessness of the lowest level people.
The writing is true and down-to-earth, worth reading
It's quite beautiful and has the flavor of life 👍
It's pretty good-looking. Why do you think Third Brother is good?
A very good novel, worth recommending
The story of this book is very clear and very beautiful
It's very good, the plot is rich, the characters are vivid, and it feels like a plot.
It's very well written and very realistic. The society at that time was like this. I don't understand one thing. They keep saying that it's the girl who pays the money. Why is it that the boy's bride price is all given by the girl? Who pays the money? Girls do all the work, so why is it unfair to say that girls are freeloaders? Really unfair.
Virtual but showing real life and giving a bright future.
