[Heroine's Version]

Chi Lian had been married into the Eastern Palace for three years without having a child. On her way back after the empress ordered her to find concubines for the crown prince, someone pushed her into the water. When she woke up, she had become a poor young woman in the 1980s.

The poor girl had a father who didn't care for her and a mother who didn't love her. Her son was so underfed he was gaunt, and her husband was a little hoodlum who was never home.

Chi Lian: "..."

Oh, this temper of mine.

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to give her useless husband a beating first. But when she looked up, she saw that her husband was the damn crown prince!

[Hero's Version]

When Feng Ji heard that someone had pushed his crown princess into the water and that she was unconscious, and the imperial physician had told him to prepare for the worst, his vision went black.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a shabby bed, with a haggard-looking woman sitting beside him.

After his initial shock, he realized that the woman was his crown princess.

And the little bundle clinging to him was their child.

Feng Ji: "..."

What was going on?

Warnings:

1. The leads are each other's only partner in both lifetimes, with no infidelity. The heroine is a brave general's daughter and has a golden finger.

2. A parallel, alternate setting with very little resemblance to reality. All logic serves the plot, so readers who care about historical accuracy should steer clear.

Theme: Work hard to build a better life.
