Married Off as a Substitute in the 1980s, I Helped a Rugged Man Build His Fortune with My Spirit Spring

[1980s] [Proxy Bride] [Spirit Spring and X-Ray Vision] [Get Rich from the Sea] [Rugged Husband Dotes on Her] [Face-Slapping the Worst of the Worst]

Song Caifeng opens her eyes to find herself in the late 1980s, a burden dressed as a bride and shoved into a wedding sedan by her own grandmother to marry in her younger sister's place.

Her younger sister stole her city job and steady boyfriend, then smugly waited for her to be beaten to death by a poor, rough-hewn man on the coast.

The whole family applauded. The eldest daughter was a money pit anyway, so trading her for a good match for the younger sister was worth it.

But when Song Caifeng looks down, she finds a spirit spring on her wrist!

The sea watered by its spring water teems with black-gold abalone crawling toward shore, while giant tiger prawns line up for her to collect. She can even see underwater currents and pinpoint the best spots to forage along the shore.

Facing her tall, formidable husband, a rough man scorned by the whole village, Song Caifeng pats his broad shoulder. "Come work with me. You won't regret it."

The couple start out in a ramshackle seaside shack. Their premium seafood makes a name for them, their little stall grows into a large shop and then a fleet of trucks, and their coastal aquaculture business flourishes. They make a fortune.

Nourished by the spirit spring, Song Caifeng becomes so radiant that no one in the surrounding villages recognizes her.

Huo Lei, once the "Demon" everyone avoided, becomes the undisputed leader of the coastal fishing industry.

Those who once trampled on her, sold her off, and mocked her end up bankrupt or destitute, weeping as they kneel outside her sea-view office and beg her to take them in.

Behind her, her billionaire rough-hewn husband gently peels a lobster for her without looking up. "If my wife says she won't see you, then she won't see you. Security, show them out."
