[Transmigrate into a book + 1970s setting + spoiled heiress × scarred, rugged hunter + married first, love later + trope subversion]
Shen Jinxiu, the heiress to a top financial conglomerate, wakes up as her 1970s namesake: a spoiled, troublesome cannon-fodder character. Knowing the plot inside out, she has a clear goal: dump the scumbag and take good care of the future richest man, an investor living in the countryside.
But one impulsive mistake sends the future tycoon packing, and she’s punished by being married off to Lu Chenzhou, the poorest and fiercest hunter in the village, whose face is scarred.
On their wedding night, Lu Chenzhou says expressionlessly, “I’m poor, I’m a handful, and I’ve got a kid to support. If you want to leave, I’ll just pretend you’re dead.”
Looking around at the bare walls and empty cupboards, Shen Jinxiu spreads her hands, her eyes reddening as she grits her teeth. “Why would I leave? I’ve got money, in gold bars, good looks, and a portable space! I’ll raise the wildest man and make the biggest fortune in this godforsaken place!”
Later, when someone reports her family for having questionable class origins, Lu Chenzhou blasts open the shackles with a gunshot, displays his military medals, and shields Shen Jinxiu behind him. “Touch my woman, and it’s treason.”
Later still, Shen Jinxiu rubs her aching lower back and finally realizes something’s wrong. “Wait, this man wasn’t even in the original story?!”
