Transmigrate: The Wife Comes First

The moment Mu Yichen opened his eyes, he found a great beauty lying in his arms. He rubbed his still-fuzzy head, remembering that the person he'd rescued just a few minutes ago seemed to be a little boy.

Before he could figure out why the little boy had turned into a great beauty, there came a sudden crash. A group of middle-aged women in ancient dress barged in, pointing at them and hurling insults, calling them shameless and accusing them of disgracing their family, among other vicious remarks.

The beauty in his arms slowly came to, then shoved him away in shame and fury and tried to throw herself against the wall. Mu Yichen instinctively stopped her. His head had barely cleared, and after the beauty crashed into him, he passed out completely. When he woke up again, he realized he had transmigrated, and into the body of a despicable, shameless street thug, no less.

As for the great beauty from earlier, she was the legitimate daughter of the Jingyang Marquis household. Her stepmother wanted to steal her excellent marriage match for her stepsister and seize the dowry her mother had left behind, so she bribed the original owner, a street thug, to ruin the young lady's reputation.

The Jingyang Marquis gave Bai Qinghua two choices: die to preserve her honor, or marry Mu Yichen, the thug. Bai Qinghua closed her eyes and chose death, but the hooligan who had ruined her virtue suddenly appeared and insisted on marrying her. To humiliate her, the people of the marquis household ignored her wishes, tied her up, and sent her to Mu Yichen's home. Thus, the legitimate daughter of a marquis married a street thug, becoming the greatest laughingstock in the capital that year.

Bai Qinghua thought her life had fallen straight into hell. She never expected that Mu Yichen, this thug, would repeatedly impress her. He could do business, take the imperial examinations, and seemingly anything else. Even his background appeared to conceal a huge secret. The people who had been waiting to laugh at her were left stunned, and Bai Qinghua realized that the people of the marquis household might have unwittingly picked a treasure for her.
