Blurb
She worked herself to death from overtime, then transmigrated into a book set in the 1970s.
Facing a disastrous start where she would be sent to the countryside if she didn't get married, Xie Xinyi, whose many matchmaking attempts had all failed, was getting ready to pack her things and head out. But then her cousin next door fell ill. When she woke up, she flatly refused to marry the fiance she had been promised to as a child. With no other choice, her aunt and uncle hurried to Xie Xinyi and asked her to take her cousin's place.
A substitute bride!?
And the groom was a troublemaker who wouldn't get a proper job...
Xie Xinyi's mother was worried and couldn't make up her mind. Behind her, Xie Xinyi slapped a hand down and made the decision: She'd do it!
Why not? She'd get to eat fine grains, live in a Western-style house, and her husband wouldn't even come home. If she didn't marry him, was she really going to wait to be sent to the countryside...

Gu Yu, a young man from the compound, had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a handsome face. He should have been a hot commodity among matchmakers, but his reputation for being cold, sharp-tongued, and hard to approach had scared off everyone eager to pursue him.
Gu Yu's mother was so worried she cursed up a storm. Only then did she remember that when the old man was alive, he might have arranged a childhood betrothal for her son. They said the girl was as beautiful as a celestial maiden.
When Gu Yu learned that he had a childhood betrothal and that the bride had been switched, he could only sneer: ???
How good could a replacement bride be?
But then he met her...
Gu Yu:
It's quite heartwarming, with a happy ending.
