   This is a transmigration novel set in a historical period, specifically a rebirth story set in a historical era. It's a subversion of the typical transmigration trope, where the protagonist reclaims her body. [Victory][Victory][Victory] Su Wan's body was occupied by a transmigrated woman for three years. During those three years, the transmigrated woman's antics were outrageous. First, she plotted "my father marrying into the family and I becoming rich," tricking her father into marrying a wealthy woman, then forcibly taking the wealthy woman's son, the future richest man, into her fold. Her sisters became pawns in her marriage alliances, tools for her future wealth accumulation. Not only that, she also raised a pond full of big fish... The two largest among them were the reborn male protagonist from the book, who started from scratch and was destined to become incredibly wealthy. The other was her husband, whom she had recently married! He would inherit billions in assets. The book described him in only one sentence: angering him would only result in one word—death. Now Su Wan has reclaimed her body and gained some of the transmigrated woman's memories. But the situation she faces is beyond her control... The transmigrated woman has attracted a bunch of fish! Her husband is furious! Her eldest sister hates her, and her fourth sister is dissatisfied with her! Just as she was lost in thought, Huo Chenxiao walked over...
