[Both leads are each other’s first and only love + transmigration + raising children + sweet romance + healing each other + secrets hidden in plain sight]
An older brother who is sickly and sinister,
A younger brother who shirks work and cuts corners,
A sharp-tongued sister who holds grudges,
And a whole family of biased, ignorant parents!
Everyone says Xiang Hua is the most honest child in the Xiang family,
The one who bears all the hardships for the entire household.
When Xiang Hua opens his eyes again, he is no longer Xiang Hua.
Before he can even figure out what’s going on, he has to take his older brother’s place and bring home his future sister-in-law. And it’s not just the welcoming: he has to stand in for his brother at the wedding ceremony, too!
He lifts the veil!
Good grief, why does this woman look so much like his ex-girlfriend from the twenty-first century?
They exchange a secret code, and he confirms she’s a local. Xiang Hua finally relaxes.
He soon realizes he let his guard down too soon.
Jiang Wenli, a city girl, has accidentally wandered into a remote mountain village and married a sickly man. Their marriage is in name only. Trapped in a quagmire day after day, she can’t even run away.
But the Xiang family’s second son seems to be a good shoot from a rotten tree. Could she win him over?
At first: “You poisonous woman! You shameless flirt! Keep your hands to yourself! You cheated on me in my past life, and now you want to make me a criminal in this one! Back off, back off, back off!”
After a while: “She called me Brother Hua! She said she likes me! Maybe I should just give in?”
