   [The Poor Scholar: When Her Comatose Husband Suddenly Rises from the Dead...] Dear family! The ancient version of "Rebirth: I'm a Vengeful Spirit in the Human World" has premiered! The female lead, Tang Wanqiu, is arguably the unluckiest woman in the Great Liang Kingdom—she sells vegetables to support her family, her husband suddenly becomes a "vegetative state" patient, debt collectors are more frequent than delivery drivers, and her own parents even want to exchange her for ten taels of gold to help her younger brother get married! While others transmigrate to become princesses or queens, our Wanqiu is playing a hellish survival game: holding the hands of her starving twins who are biting their nails with her left hand, wiping her husband's body after two years in a coma with her right, and also having to guard against the greasy young master from the Chen family next door who's planning to "take advantage of her vulnerability to propose marriage." The most outrageous thing is her parents; they claim to love their daughter, but in reality, they've already priced her in gold and weighed her down—their calculations could be heard by the Jade Emperor! Just when everyone thought this was an ancient version of "The Legend of Motherhood"—her husband, who had been lying in bed for two years, suddenly sat up in shock from his deathbed! Good heavens, turns out he's a poor but brilliant student who misjudged his skill tree! While he was in a coma, he memorized the Thirty-Six Stratagems and the "Lunyu" in his dreams! Now the question is: the gigolo has transformed into a ruthless and powerful minister. Should he tear apart the innocent relatives first or beat up the greasy suitor? I suggest Mr. Chen buy an "orthopedic clinic annual pass" in advance, because our villain's revenge plan... Is much more ruthless than Pinduoduo's price-cutting!
