I Transmigrated and Married a Fool, Then Got Rich Selling Popcorn

Chen Mengjie was hit by a truck and, when she opened her eyes, found herself a sixteen-year-old orphan in an ancient farming village.

Her aunt demanded the deed to her house and planned to sell her to a wealthy landlord in his sixties who had beaten four wives to death.

She drove them out with a woodcutter’s knife, then went to the fields to gather scraps of corn. Popcorn was something no one in this era had ever seen.

The sweet smell of caramel drifted out of her ramshackle kitchen, and soon the market was packed with people clamoring to buy it.

But the laws of the Great Wei dynasty said that unmarried girls who turned sixteen had to surrender their land and homes to the state.

To keep her house, she turned her attention to the foolish hunter in the village, the one everyone bullied.

“A Nian, would you like to marry me?”

The fool tilted his head. “Marry? The chicken on the rack... isn’t cooked yet.”

She kissed him. “Is it cooked now?”

From a roadside stall to a chain of shops, from a village girl to a wealthy businesswoman, she puts modern business know-how to work in the ancient world.

Franchisees line up to sign contracts, while jealous rivals try to sabotage her and resort to underhanded tricks. She deals with them one by one.

Her foolish husband grows more and more clingy, chasing after her every day and calling, “Wife, kiss me!”

Just as life is starting to flourish, people suddenly arrive from the capital and kneel before him.

“We respectfully welcome the Sixth Prince back to the palace.”

The jar of popcorn slips from Chen Mengjie’s hands and clatters to the ground. She slowly turns to look at the clear-eyed man behind her. “You... aren’t a fool anymore?”

Chen Xiangnian grips her hand, his gaze sharp as a drawn blade. “When I was a fool, you were the only one who protected me. Now it’s my turn to protect you.”

She thought she’d married a fool, but it turns out she was the fool.

But... if this is all a dream, could she wake up one day?
