Blurb:

Qin Chengman spent half her life fighting in the business world, only to find herself without children. Her husband turned against her for another woman and plotted to take her life.

She returns to 1980, the year she failed the college entrance exam. She starts from scratch, and her husband has yet to meet her. She wants nothing more to do with him.

But the Jiang family next door has gained a little girl. Her maternal grandfather doesn't care for her, and her grandmother doesn't love her. When Qin asks, she learns that the girl's parents abandoned her and ran off.

Qin Chengman: “...” Another pair of wild horses galloping off in pursuit of love?

But when the Jiang family says there are too many people to feed the girl and they plan to give her away, Qin Chengman looks at the sweet, innocent child and feels her heart soften.

The little girl is the daughter of Heaven, sent down to endure a trial. She can tell who treats her well and who doesn't.

There are too many people in her maternal grandfather's family, and they have no room for one more little girl.

Her uncles all suggest giving her away. Only her second uncle, who has always doted on her, disagrees, but he's still on the train home.

Just when Jiang Miru thinks she's about to be sent away, she sees Qin Chengman from next door step forward.

“It's just raising a child. I'll do it.”

After being reborn, Jiang Mian takes the train home and plans to ask a matchmaker to arrange a marriage with the Qin family.

He went away and earned enough to support a wife. He wants to marry Qin Chengman, his first love from his previous life, treat her well, and make sure she never has to face the troubles she did before.

Before agreeing to marry Jiang Mian, Qin Chengman has just one condition: she wants the little girl registered as part of her household.

Jiang Mian naturally agrees. He belongs to Qin Chengman, after all, and couldn't be happier to have his niece registered in her household. That way, the two of them can raise the child together for the rest of their lives.
