Reborn in 1970, I Married a Poor, Rugged Man and Took the College Entrance Exam

Her own mother teamed up with the village bully to sell her off and pay for her brother's bride, all for a bride-price of two hundred yuan!

Chen Xiaoman jumped into the river in despair, but in the icy water, she was reborn with memories of her past life!

When she opened her eyes again, Song Wenqing, the poorest, roughest man in the neighboring village, was holding her tight after rescuing her.

Seeing her mother and a thug charging toward her with a stick, she made a snap decision. "Song Wenqing, marry me! Protect me until I get into college in 1977, and I'll take your whole family to the city to eat state-supplied grain!"

The villagers laughed at her for being foolish. She had turned down a bride-price of two hundred yuan only to jump into an even poorer man's pit.

But when no one else was around, the taciturn man cherished and protected her like the apple of his eye. He worked all day to earn work points to support her, then lit a lamp at night so she could study.

Though she had married him to get into college, different feelings grew between them after the wedding.

With the college entrance exam applications approaching, her mother teamed up with thugs to steal her only household registration page, while her sisters-in-law spread rumors everywhere that she was a "jinx" who would bring her husband bad luck.

Just as everyone waited to see her fail the exam and be rejected by her husband's family, Chen Xiaoman gave a cold laugh and gripped the hand of the man beside her.

They wanted her to accept her fate? In this life, she would not only become one of the first college students after the entrance exams were reinstated, but also take the man who loved and protected her to the city in glory, and trample underfoot everyone who had looked down on them!
