Zhao Xiangxiang, heiress to a top-tier tycoon family, opens her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the body of a country girl in 1983, forced to marry in someone else’s place.
At the wedding hall, faced with Gu Cian, the cold and distant heir to the Gu family, she flips up her red veil and declares, “I’m not marrying him!”
Her grandmother, who favors boys over girls, throws a tantrum? “You took the money. If someone has to marry him, you do it.”
Her cousin tries to steal her credit and trip her up? “I was the one who saved the young master of the Gu family.”
The whole Gu family waits to see her make a fool of herself? She’s determined to ride the wave of reform and opening up with her forward-thinking vision
opening a clothing shop, running a food stall, and going into foreign trade, until she rises from a country girl to a rising star in Beijing’s business world.
But why does Gu Cian, the rumored cold and abstinent scientific genius, keep his eyes on her?
“Zhao Xiangxiang, An’an says he wants you to be his mom.”
“Zhao Xiangxiang, these businesses are under my name. They’re yours to manage.”
“Zhao Xiangxiang, I’m waiting for you outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. This time, I’ll be the one marrying you.”
Zhao Xiangxiang arches a brow. “Mr. Gu, I don’t think we know each other that well?”
Gu Cian pulls her into his arms, his low voice tinged with laughter. “That’s all right. We have the rest of our lives to get to know each other.”
She didn’t get to live well in her last life. This time, she’ll live for herself, and, while she’s at it, bring home her stone-faced husband and his adorable little boy!
