Reborn, the Husband Who Was Swapped Into Marriage Became the Chief Minister's Wife

In her previous life, Chen Sang married a farmhand from the village, while her older uncle's son married the village's only scholar who had passed the county-level examinations.

Later, Chen Sang and her farmhand husband became one of the village's wealthiest families through their business. But her cousin's scholar husband repeatedly failed his exams, and supporting his studies left the family destitute. In the end, they were reduced to abject poverty.

After being reborn, Chen Sang learned that her cousin wanted to switch marriages with her. She happily agreed.

He had no intention of suffering through what he had endured in his previous life all over again.

He had heard that the scholar had been in poor health in his previous life and had never consummated his marriage with Chen Sang's cousin. So on their wedding night, after lifting the veil, Chen Sang told her scholar husband that he could earn money to support his studies, provided that he gave him enough freedom to do business. They could be husband and husband in name only.

He had expected his husband to scold him for a husband daring to show his face in public. Instead, his fair, handsome young husband took his hand and earnestly promised to study hard and earn an official title, telling Chen Sang to pursue his business without hesitation. He would be there to support him.

Chen Sang thought her husband was just good at sweet-talking him, but the man went on to achieve six consecutive top examination honors and become the top scholar.

And before Chen Sang knew it, he had become a hugely successful imperial merchant, one of the richest men in the land.

Everyone, especially his cousin's family, spread rumors everywhere that a top scholar would look down on a merchant husband and would surely abandon Chen Sang. But the top scholar rose steadily through the ranks to become Grand Secretary, even earning Chen Sang an honorary title and spoiling him beyond measure.
