A Substitute Bride? I Used a Gossip System to Support My Fiancé's Family

[Period setting, System, transmigration, pure love, both leads are each other’s first and only]

After modern-day overworked employee Xiao Jiangnan died from working overtime, she transmigrated to 1985. From the start, she was caught up in a fake-versus-real heiress scandal and forced to marry Si Wanzhou, the second son of the Si family in the countryside, in place of the runaway “real heiress,” Wang Zhaodi.

The day after she transmigrated, her gossip System finally arrived. Xiao Jiangnan initially thought it was useless, but soon discovered that it could be upgraded to exchange for supplies. She pretended to go along with things, taking the opportunity to swindle money from her parents, then planned to check out the Si family first and leave if things didn’t work out.

After arriving at the Si family’s home, she learned they had paid fifty yuan for a bride because Si Wanzhou had once been a soldier and lost a leg on a mission, leaving him with a limp. His parents didn’t want him to remain depressed and hoped marriage would help him move on from his injury. Wang Zhaodi had once liked Si Wanzhou, so the Si parents thought the match would work. A misunderstanding followed, and Wang Zhaodi broke off the engagement and ran away with the money. Xiao Jiangnan discovered that, though Si Wanzhou limped, he was handsome and tall. Unwilling to let him waste away in despair, she decided to stay. She used her gossip System to earn points and exchange them for supplies, helping the Si family prosper. She also made her parents, who had always favored Wang Zhaodi, and Wang Zhaodi herself regret their choices, while she built a wonderful life in the 1980s.
