Name: Swapping Brides in 1980
Author: Sikong Yan'er

Synopsis

In 1980, my parents treated me as a bargaining chip in a marriage exchange and married me off to the Zhao family’s frail, spineless second son.

My in-laws were cruel, my mother-in-law made things difficult for me, my sister-in-law schemed against me, and my brother-in-law leached off his parents. Everyone thought I was an easy target.

But they didn’t know that the girl who had always endured in silence had a backbone of steel.

I didn’t make a fuss, but I planned every step carefully. I didn’t fight for myself, but I protected my husband and daughter.

The wife who had once been bullied by everyone became the person the Zhao family feared most!

My wicked mother-in-law backed down, my sister-in-law lowered her head, and the whole village began to look up to me.

In the 1980s, I relied neither on my parents nor on fate. I relied on myself and made my life shine!

Looking for Completed Period Novels

No pocket dimension!!! No System!!! No reborn!!! Transmigration is fine (I don't want to read about someone who was an orphan in their previous life). A native-born baby would be best. I like clever, amusing little grown-ups. The one I'm reading now is pretty fun, for example, but...
