[Period setting + reborn + marriage by substitution for good luck + slow-burn romance + sweet devotion + sweet, cool beauty of a doctor × childless research genius]
Bai Qingqian, a modern medical genius, went to sleep and woke up as Bai Qingqian, a wooden beauty in the 1980s.
The original owner was stunningly beautiful and alluring, but her cousin resented her.
Stealing her groom and forcing her into a substitute marriage to bring good fortune wasn’t enough. Her uncle’s family also schemed to take her bride price.
Her parents not only failed to get justice for her, they eagerly sent her off to her new husband’s home.
Bai Qingqian couldn’t stand it. At first, she planned to beat up her parents, kick her rotten relatives to the curb, and cut ties with the whole awful family.
Who knew she would end up pregnant?
Bai Qingqian didn’t hesitate. She decided the baby needed a father to put on the household register. A substitute marriage to bring good fortune sounded just fine!
When she arrived at the Huo family’s home, she saw Huo Yuanzheng, gravely wounded and waiting to die.
Good heavens! The man had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a six-pack. What a waste to let him die. Maybe she should drag him back from the gates of the underworld before negotiating terms!
Huo Yuanzheng, who had been waiting to die, was rescued and woke up. He recognized at a glance the woman he’d met at the guesthouse, and secretly rejoiced.
Before he could celebrate, his wife announced she wanted a divorce in two months. Huo Yuanzheng panicked! He fought tooth and nail to win her over!
Just as he thought she was starting to soften, his wife dropped a bombshell: she was pregnant with another man’s child!
Everyone else was stunned, but Huo Yuanzheng grinned like a fool with excitement and knelt, holding up a washboard.
Honey, I was wrong. Let’s not get divorced. The baby is mine…
The male protagonist knew who the female protagonist was as soon as he opened his eyes, but it took him almost a hundred chapters to tell the female protagonist and her family. There was no mistaking the person.
