The Reborn Wife of the Richest Man

Chen Meilan was reborn in 1988, the year her nouveau riche ex-husband abandoned her and left her to raise their daughter alone. Her ex-husband left her a large courtyard house on the outskirts of the city and a bankbook with four zeros in the balance. In her previous life, Chen Meilan had been too proud to take either one, and later regretted it bitterly. Yan Zhao had just returned from the self-defense war, covered in honors and medals. Yet he chose to give up his accolades, transfer back to his hometown, and take a job at the Public Security Bureau. The moment he walked in, he received divorce papers from his wife. After reporting for duty at the Public Security Bureau, Yan Zhao brought his child along and urgently needed a place to stay. Chen Meilan was registered as a rural resident, so the courtyard house her ex-husband had given her couldn't be registered in her name. She was just as frantic. Then someone brought Yan Zhao to meet her. Yan Zhao saw that she had a child of her own and figured that if he was accommodating, she wouldn't mistreat his child. Chen Meilan saw a man in military uniform, tall and stern-faced. Remembering her previous life, she knew it was precisely because of his integrity at work that the nouveau riche and his mistress had gone to prison over a coal mine collapse. Suddenly, she decided he seemed like a good man. She could marry him! And so her blissful second marriage began... A Chronicle of Second Marriages, by Huan Ruojun The scandal-ridden actress Su Fei was reborn. She returned to the moment the Second Marriage production team invited her to join their variety show. In her previous life, she had turned down the invitation and given up a sky-high appearance fee to avoid her ex-husband. But this time, knowing that Chen Lie would also be there, she agreed without hesitation. In her previous life, he had died a heroic death after rescuing her and her daughter from kidnappers. Retired special forces soldier Chen Lie was laden with honors and medals, but his marriage had fallen apart because his demanding missions kept him away from his family for long stretches. His son tricked him into joining the show. At the show, the production team paired them up to play a temporary married couple. The show had already attracted attention because Su Fei's ex-husband, award-winning actor Xiao Jing, was joining with his current girlfriend. With his ex-wife Su Fei joining too, the whole internet was watching. Xiao Jing's fans were furious. They declared that Su Fei had joined the show to rekindle things with her ex-husband, and dredged up every supposed offense she had committed during her marriage to Xiao Jing. Before long, Su Fei's scandals were dominating the trending charts. But the moment the show aired, they were left dumbfounded! The comments exploded as soon as the show began: #Su Fei donated her entire appearance fee to the Hope Project? #The retired special forces king is a super dad? #Girls, I tried the self-defense moves Chen Lie taught his daughter last night. They really work! #They're so in sync. Are they sure they're only a couple for the show? #Help, Chen-Su shippers, take your insulin before you feast! Viewer A: Cut everything else. I only want to watch Chen Lie's family. Viewer B: Can someone tell me how Chen Lie switches so effortlessly from gentle dad to master chef to deduction genius? Viewers C, D, E, F, and G: We've become die-hard Chen Lie and Su Fei fans. All we want to do is scream! Su Fei, who had been saved by Chen Lie in her previous life: Calm down, everyone. This is all routine! Su Fei only wanted to stop the tragedy from her previous life from happening again. She never expected the show to turn her from a scandal-ridden celebrity into a beloved star as soon as it aired. She also never expected her daughter to gain a stepfather who doted on her, while she herself gained a little brat who acted like her dad. And most unexpected of all, Chen Lie wasn't just a master chef with incredible knife skills. He was also a deduction genius. He could uncover top-secret details just by chatting: Su Fei's ex-husband was two-timing his current girlfriend, and she had a son she was keeping hidden! Hater: Before the show aired, I was a die-hard Xiao Jing fan. After watching Chen Lie, I shamefully couldn't stop drooling!
