Jiang Yuman, a top student of economic history, transmigrates into a period novel as the vicious ex-wife who is destined to abandon her husband and child, then freeze to death on the street.
At this point, her powerful husband, Fu Jingchen, and his entire family are about to be sent away for labor reform, and they’re dirt poor.
The Fu family is despairing, while a reborn woman waits to laugh at Jiang Yuman.
But Jiang Yuman looks at the huanghuali wood being burned for firewood, the bloodstone shoved into a corner, and the bundles of ten-yuan notes worth just a cent each... Her eyes light up!
Good heavens! The original owner turned down this incredible fortune?
“Honey, I’m not divorcing you! Just trust me once. In less than three years, I’ll have you back in the family compound and driving a car!”
At first, the Fu family thinks she’s gone mad.
Later, when the “worthless stone” she traded a bag of candy for sells for a fortune; when the rabbits she raises become the most sought-after goods in the county; when the “waste paper” she stockpiled turns out to be rare, out-of-print stamps...
The whole family goes crazy! Her in-laws treat her like a goddess of fortune, and her sister-in-law becomes her biggest fan!
Even the cold, restrained Fu Jingchen pulls her into his arms, his eyes red. “Wife, the greatest stroke of luck in my life was marrying you.”
