Pei Qingye is reborn in 1977 in the vast Northeast.
The moment he opens his eyes, he sees a voluptuous beauty, abused by her vicious in-laws and forced to come “borrow seed,” despairingly undoing her clothes.
As his memories of his past life awaken, he knows this is a deadly trap devised by her wicked in-laws!
Her husband, a factory director born infertile, intends to use a borrowed child to cover up the scandal, then dump them both in the river to silence them.
Pei Qingye sneers: “Since you’ve come to my door, I’ll take this stunning wife and the twins, boy and girl, she’ll have in the future!”
With the miraculous spirit spring of mountains and seas at his command, Pei Qingye joins his lovely wife in giving her beastly in-laws a taste of their own medicine, then sends her ex-husband off to labor reform in the far northwest!
With a dog at his side, he ventures deep into the mountains, battles blind bears, and digs up wild ginseng. In an era of scarcity, he makes a fortune and cherishes his wife like a precious treasure.
When the college entrance exams are reinstated, he takes his wife to the capital and kicks open the gates of the aloof imperial household.
The capital’s elite are stunned to discover that the village woman tormented by her country in-laws is actually the long-lost real daughter of a top-tier wealthy family! And the rugged country man with a bandit’s swagger has already built a business empire worth more than a nation in secret!
The male protagonist is relieved when he faces the enemy. The writing is refreshing and not at a disadvantage. The plot is good and interesting.
