Searching for a Husband in the 1970s: The Pig Butcher’s Daughter Is Spoiled by an Officer

[Ancient-to-modern transmigration + space + no black-market dealings + one-on-one romance]

Jiang Mingyue, the eldest young lady of Mingyue Manor, was gone. She transmigrated into the body of a woman named Jiang Li in a later era, after being hit on the head.

Her father was lame, her mother was ill, and her younger sister was sickly. Jiang Li herself was about to be traded by her second uncle’s family for a bride price.

Her family was living in utter misery, so Jiang Li had no choice but to shoulder its burdens. Fortunately, she had a miraculous well of water. She would start with her second uncle’s family.

Just as better days were about to begin, word arrived from her fiancé: he was getting married, but the bride wasn’t her!

To seek justice, Jiang Li had no choice but to travel a thousand miles to find her fiancé and demand an explanation.

Everyone knew that Lu Changzheng had filed a marriage application to marry a capitalist’s daughter. His friend Shen Changan warned him, “Changzheng, you’ve earned merit and are about to be promoted. If you insist on this, it won’t work out.”

Lu Changzheng didn’t care. But then his mother back in their hometown wrote to tell him that his fiancée had come looking for him.

The woman he loved was about to leave. If he didn’t act now, he’d lose his chance. So he asked his friend to keep his fiancée there.

His friend Shen Changan: “Lu Changzheng, could you at least act like a decent human being?”

Out of consideration for their years as comrades, and because the grandfather of the woman his friend was going to marry had been an old family friend, he agreed. When Jiang Li arrived, he went to “keep her there” himself.

In the end, he really did keep her there. Lu Changzheng married the woman he loved, as he’d wished, while Shen Changan was delighted. He’d gained a wife in the bargain. Lu Changzheng might be blind, but Shen Changan’s eyes were sharp!

But why did Lu Changzheng regret it so much that his guts turned green? Oh, because Jiang Li had become someone far beyond his reach.
