In her previous life, Tang Xinyue was the universally acknowledged lucky one in the crowded courtyard. She spent over a decade living comfortably in the Tang family under someone else's identity, and even after her real identity was exposed, she still got her wish and married into a military compound.

She didn't have to go to the countryside, and her in-laws even arranged a job for her. Her good fortune was enough to make people grit their teeth.

But behind the glamour, only Tang Xinyue knew how hard it was to endure her in-laws' disdain, her sister-in-law's bullying, and her husband's beatings and scolding.

With nowhere to go, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. But the damned man ignored her and openly took up with another woman.

Tang Xinyue was so furious she died.

When she opened her eyes again, she was eighteen.

The Tang family was arguing furiously over who would be sent to the countryside.

Her eldest brother, who had just started dating someone, said, "I've got a job. I'm reporting for work tomorrow."

Her younger brother, who spent every day loafing around, said, "Don't look at me. I'd rather die than go."

The daughter who had been switched at birth stood outside the door, eyes red, saying nothing.

"I'll go!"

Tang Xinyue glanced around the room expressionlessly.

So what if she was going to the countryside? What was there to be afraid of?

Compared to all the awful things that had happened in her past life, going to that vast, open countryside sounded wonderful.

A delicate young educated youth arrived in Fanglin Village. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and she was beautiful as a flower. But with those slender arms and legs, who knew if she could survive in this poor, remote place?

The villagers clicked their tongues, waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Instead, they got one shocking piece of news after another.

"What did you say? Tang Xinyue got into the best university?"

Isn't that university supposed to be really hard to get into?

"What? Tang Xinyue took over the commune's precast concrete plant and is hiring a lot of people?"

Wasn't that plant on the verge of going bankrupt?

"Wait, who did you say Tang Xinyue is dating? Jiang Beishan?"

Jiang Beishan is cold and distant, and extremely hard to approach. In all the time he's been in Fanglin Village, no one has ever seen him smile at a girl.

Even so, plenty of people are captivated by his handsome looks and want to lure him home.

While everyone wonders what kind of woman could catch his eye, Jiang Beishan files a marriage application.

And the woman he plans to marry is none other than Tang Xinyue, the lucky educated youth.

Everyone worries for Tang Xinyue. What will happen when this pampered young lady meets a cold man? Won't he bully her terribly?

Out of sight of everyone else, Jiang Beishan really is bullying Tang Xinyue.

He holds her tightly in his arms, his voice hoarse as he coaxes her again and again to hold on just a little longer...

Tang Xinyue: "I thought you said you had no interest in love and didn't like coming home?"

I thought you said you were reserved, abstinent, and free of worldly desires?

After Marrying My Cousin into a Powerful Family of the Era

I died from overwork and transmigrated into a book set in the 1970s.

The explosive premise: if you don't get married, you'll be sent to the countryside. After several failed matchmaking attempts, Xie Xinyi is getting ready to pack her things and head to the countryside. But then her cousin next door falls ill. When she wakes up, she refuses point-blank to marry the man her family arranged for her. With no other option, her uncle and aunt rush to Xie Xinyi and ask her to take her cousin's place.

An arranged marriage in her cousin's place!?

And to some troublesome street loafer who can't hold down a proper job...

Xie Xinyi's mother is worried and can't make up her mind, but Xie Xinyi slaps the table and declares, "I'll do it!"

Why shouldn't she? Fine food, a Western-style house, and a husband who's never home. If she doesn't marry him, should she really wait to be sent to the countryside...

**

Gu Yu, a young man from the compound, has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a handsome face. He should be a hot prospect for matchmakers, but his reputation for being cold, sharp-tongued, and unapproachable has scared off every woman eager to try her luck.

Gu's mother is so worried she curses up a storm. Then she remembers that when the old man was alive, he may have arranged a marriage for her son. They say the girl was as beautiful as a fairy.

When Gu Yu learns that he has an arranged marriage, and that his bride has been switched, he scoffs: ???

How good could a replacement bride possibly be?

But after he meets her...

Gu Yu: "Are we getting married?"

"When?"

"How about right now?"

**

Ever since her cousin's marriage was given to Xie Xinyi, the cousin has been sent to a remote village.

But it doesn't matter. According to the future she saw in her dream, Gu Yu will soon be sent away for reform through labor, Xie Xinyi will be thrown out by the Gu family, and she will meet a fellow educated youth worth ten thousand yuan in the countryside. From then on, she'll live a luxurious life everyone envies.

Her cousin counts the days, waiting and waiting. But instead of a rich husband, she gets the news that Gu Yu has become a big shot and Xie Xinyi is being spoiled by the Gu family...
