The Eighties: The Former Richest Man's Wife Strikes Back

[Sorry, I'm unlocking the chapters, but I'll finish the story!]

On a spring day, Maiya and her childhood sweetheart, now her ex-husband, got divorced.

Her ex was the newly crowned richest man in the country. Riding high on success, he had also picked up the worst habit of rich men: cheating. Everyone around her told her to put up with it, but Maiya couldn't take it anymore.

She swallowed her anger, took nothing, and left with their two children.

For the rest of her life, like so many mothers, she put her children above all else. She lived frugally, never remarried, and devoted her life to them, losing herself completely as she worked herself to the bone to raise them into successful adults.

But once the children made something of themselves, they turned around and threw themselves into the arms of their rich father.

Maiya couldn't understand it. Then she opened her eyes and found herself back in 1986, at the time of her divorce.

She learned a lesson in her last life: she couldn't depend on men or children. She hardened her heart, left without either child, and walked away alone.

Reborn, she was going to live for herself.

-

A woman with a terrible reputation had just moved into the house next door to Lu Xuexi. Rumor had it that she'd abandoned her children for money. She was just as bad as him, a man who'd failed to honor his parents for money.

Two people with equally bad reputations were set up on a blind date by their meddlesome neighbors, and they hit it off!

Ex-husband: She's remarried! She's heartless! She's cold and unfeeling!

Lu Xuexi: It's fine. I'm no saint either.

Later, Maiya worked hard, made a fortune, and crushed her ex-husband. Lu Xuexi was handsome and considerate, and his own hard work promised him a bright future.

Her down-and-out ex-husband was furious.

P.S. Maiya and Lu Xuexi are both people who struggle through adversity, work hard to live, and refuse to let themselves down!

[Next up] Farming with a Farm System in the 1990s

Lin Yun was the real heiress, abandoned in the countryside after being switched at birth. In her previous life, her biological parents tricked her into returning to the city, only to sell her off in a marriage alliance because the other family could help the Lin family.

She opened her eyes and was back in the 1990s. Lin Yun immediately tore up her train ticket and went home.

Unexpectedly, this time she had a Farm System.

Blue skies, white clouds, flowing water, and a neighbor who had maxed out his cooking skills.

Spicy clams, soy-braised pork knuckles, and fragrant oil-braised shrimp.

Hot and sour fish, clay-pot chicken, and delicious duck eggs in chili oil.

A countryside farm owner's delicious farming life begins!

[The one after that] Marriage Swap in the 1970s

The young educated woman Zhou Yuanyuan died in her tenth year in the countryside. Her long life as an educated youth had been filled with too little food and clothing and backbreaking labor. Then one day, the food was stolen, and she starved to death.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated to another timeline, still an educated youth. Zhou Yuanyuan nearly blacked out. She was about to die on the spot.

The village belle of Qishui Commune came to see her, saying she wanted to arrange a match for her.

The man was the most admired young man in the village, college student Li Fengzhou. He was refined and handsome, his father was the team leader, and he was the commune accountant. Everyone praised him as the perfect son-in-law.

Zhou Yuanyuan: "Will I get enough to eat if I marry him?"

The village belle: "..."

"The Li family has roast meat on Mondays, fish on Tuesdays, eggs on Wednesdays, pancakes on Thursdays, and chicken on Fridays..."

Zhou Yuanyuan's mouth watered despite herself. "I'll marry him!"

Xu Meijuan was reborn, back in the days when she was the belle of Qishui Commune. Her family intended to match her with Li Fengzhou, but she offered to swap marriages instead, marrying a lazy young hoodlum from the village and waiting to become the wife of a newly rich man.

Li Fengzhou was a rare college student in the village, handsome and dignified.

Before his blind date, he thought he would end up marrying a pretty, lively, and forthright country girl. He never expected to become entangled with Zhou Yuanyuan.

The first time he saw Zhou Yuanyuan, she was so thin and tiny, like a withered bean sprout. To support his little wife, Li Fengzhou quit his job as the commune accountant and went into business. Before he knew it, he had become one of the newly rich of the 1980s, leaving Xu Meijuan, who had swapped marriages, stunned.

P.S. An alternate universe, a warm everyday story about family life. The female lead comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and the male lead goes into business.
