Completed!

This novel is also known as "A Sweet Little Bride Comes to the Village":

Fang Cheng never imagined that after gossiping with her colleagues about a big shot's private life one day, she'd open her eyes the next morning and be reborn in 1988 as the wife of Sheng Changfeng, a future tycoon.

She'd just gotten pregnant... with their second child.

In her previous life, Sheng Changfeng was an exceptionally low-key man, one of the city's ten rising wealthy elites.

But with his striking looks and polished style, he was always the sort of person gossip magazines wanted to dig up dirt on, but never could.

Fang Cheng knew, however, that he'd had a failed marriage: his wife and children were scattered, his first wife died young after their divorce, his eldest daughter had a short life, and his younger daughter had vanished without a trace.

Didn't all that sound like what people in the future loved to call a man who brought misfortune to his wife?

But Fang Cheng was a firm atheist. She knew there had to be a hidden story behind his past.

In 1988, Sheng Changfeng had nothing to his name and had only just returned from military service.

Their home was bare and life was hard, but looking at the tall, broad-shouldered man with his dashing bearing, Fang Cheng couldn't deny that he was exactly her type. She drew in a breath.

Thinking of his future career and how composed he looked under the spotlight, Fang Cheng drew in another breath.

Her heart slowly sank. Her predecessor's family was a complete mess, and tomorrow was the day she'd planned to ask for a divorce...

Fang Cheng figured, whose home wasn't this "simple and rustic" at the moment?

Rather than bet on a risky prospect, she might as well stick with this steady big shot and make do for now.

Maybe she wouldn't get divorced just yet!

As she made do, Fang Cheng realized that this aloof big shot seemed to treat her with the utmost care, and was getting more and more "passionate."

As they made do, Sheng Changfeng put an arm around her waist, and the two of them appeared together under the spotlight...

Coming next: "A Lucky Heiress of a Wealthy Hong Kong Family in the 1980s." Please add it to your reading list!

In her previous life, Zhou Yayun was the daughter of a wealthy Hong Kong man who'd been left behind in his hometown. With a handsome father and beautiful mother, she was blessed with looks she could flaunt to get her way. When she came of age, she was brought to Hong Kong with a pretty good hand to play.

Unfortunately, she became the poster child for squandering a winning hand.

She married into a wealthy family, enjoying riches and splendor, only for her husband to bring home a concubine and have her serve tea while calling her "Elder Sister." Her own businesses were swallowed up, and her mother was murdered.

He said coldly, "I married you on the advice of a fortune-teller. I've supported you and put up with you not being able to bear children. Be grateful, you country bumpkin."

That tea from the concubine went down so hard it knocked her clean out.

In her final moments, Zhou Yayun saw the faces of everyone who'd schemed against her...

When she opened her eyes, she was still a university student who hadn't graduated. After bitterly reflecting on her past, Zhou Yayun thought: ...To hell with being a rich young madam. Even a dog wouldn't want that. Whoever wants to marry into the family can do it!

In this life, she decided to punch out the rotten admirers and kick the fake relatives. No one was going to trick her into marrying a faithless man.

But... what was going on? In this life, she was still destined to be a young madam...

Only this time, her husband was young, devoted, handsome, and stylish, with eyes and a heart only for her.

Without her having to push him, he made her the wife of the richest man, a woman everyone had to treat with respect.

Back then, her husband was never around. Now Zhou Yayun rubbed her aching waist and complained that Young Master Lu never gave her a break.

Back then, being a young madam had left her looking more and more haggard. Now Zhou Yayun was pampered until her cheeks bloomed like peach blossoms, yet Young Master Lu was still jealous, asking, "Do you have me in your heart?"

Facing a barrage of questions from the sharp-tongued Hong Kong press, who couldn't stand to see anyone doing well, a reporter asked, "Congratulations on reaching the top of the Ten Wealthiest list at such a young age, with your family's vast wealth and influence. Do you have any plans to take a concubine?"

Surrounded by the crowd, Young Master Lu remained gentlemanly and composed. He furrowed his brow slightly and answered only that question: "There will only ever be one Mrs. Lu."

"Without her, I, Lu, would have no home or business. No matter how great it became, who would I share it with, and what joy would there be in it?"

Both the male and female leads have character growth.

Set in an alternate world.
