Rebooting a Happy Life in the 1980s

Xia Xiaoqin was reborn in 1986, before You Lang was hit by a car and left disabled, and before she married her lazy, good-for-nothing ex-husband.

In their previous lives, the two unfortunate souls found comfort in each other in middle age. They were a couple who had married later in life and weren't very much in love, but they ran a fabric shop together. They never grew rich, but their days were peaceful and harmonious.

After packing her things, she decisively headed south.

She'd heard that You Lang and a friend had bought a pickup truck that year and planned to haul fabric in Guangzhou. If she got there in time, they might be able to make a real go of it.

The dream was wonderful. Reality, however... Xia Xiaoqin kicked the broken-down truck, rust leaking from it as it sat dead on flat ground, then looked at the fierce-looking crew-cut man before her. Her little face scrunched up in disbelief. "This is the luxury car you said could haul half the fabric in Guangzhou in one go?"

"Three hundred yuan in betrothal gifts and a bicycle. Marry me if you want. If not, leave."

The man mistook her for the woman his family had arranged for him to meet, and thought she was turning him down. Xia Xiaoqin blinked and played along. "I'll marry you. Right now."

Xia Xiaoqin's plan in seeking out You Lang was simple: build on the business they'd had in their previous life, make it bigger and better, and bring it to new heights! Rescuing her husband and getting married were just things she could do along the way.

But the other person involved clearly didn't see it that way.

After confirming several times with his family back home, You Lang learned that Xia Xiaoqin had come to Guangzhou to meet someone else.

You Lang panicked.

One day, Xia Xiaoqin went to humor her ex, who had come to meet her through a matchmaking arrangement. On the way, she also struck a deal for a freight business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and didn't return for half a day.

The man, usually a troublemaker wherever he went, sat obediently at the mouth of the alley all day.

When she finally came back, his usually icy, aloof face, so good at putting on a tough act, showed a rare hint of panic. "Don't even think about divorcing me!"
