A Concubine-Born Couple in the 1980s

Everyone in Shatou Village knew Chen Jianyang from the Chen family's workshop. He was handsome, with red lips and pearly white teeth, but lazy, idle, and utterly good-for-nothing.

He was already in his twenties, but instead of helping the family with their work, he was always reaching for the stars and making a laughingstock of himself.

As far as the villagers were concerned, the Chen family could only count on the eldest son and his wife.

But no one expected the Chen family's second son to suddenly turn his life around. He married a migrant worker from out of town who turned out to be quite capable, and before long, the family's fortunes were looking better and better!

Chen Jianyang was a concubine-born son of a prominent family in ancient times. His mother had been a respectable woman, forced into becoming a concubine, and the two of them suffered relentless bullying within the family.

After Chen Jianyang married, his older clansmen took advantage of his absence to force his wife into a death that claimed both her and their unborn child. His mother soon died of grief as well.

With hatred burning in his eyes, Chen Jianyang arranged for the entire clan to be sentenced to death. When he told his older clansmen and the others the truth in person while they were in prison, their expressions filled him with overwhelming satisfaction!

Chen Jianyang swallowed the poison, content at last. He never expected that when he opened his eyes again, he would find himself in an entirely new world.
