Reborn in the Eighties: My Rugged Husband Treats Me Like a Treasure

[Sweet romance! Period setting! Face-slapping!] In her previous life, Gu Yan was forced to marry an abusive man. She endured endless beatings and abuse, and was eventually sold to a gambling house to pay off a debt, meeting a truly miserable end. Given a second chance at life, she found her family still trying to force her to marry the same abusive man. Gu Yan decisively chose the poor young man who came to propose that very same day. Everyone said Gu Yan was blind: she could have married a rich catch, yet she insisted on marrying a poor guy. But only Gu Yan knew that this poor young man had once died saving her, and that he had a bright future ahead of him. What? Her parents didn’t approve, and wanted to sell her to a disabled man in exchange for a betrothal gift? Gu Yan flipped the table and made her parents the subject of a public criticism meeting, held up as a cautionary example. Then her parents said she had to work like a beast for her younger brother and cover for him whenever he got into trouble. Gu Yan waved her hand and sent her brother to prison, even if it meant turning against her own family. Later, her husband went from repairing cars to selling used cars, and then to starting his own company. He had more money than he could spend. The villagers were green with envy and immediately changed their tune, saying Gu Yan had always had foresight and had married a real catch. Gu Yan wasn’t about to be outdone. She rolled up her sleeves and started a food business, growing from a street stall to a shop, then a chain of stores, and eventually taking her business overseas and earning foreign currency. (A sweet post-marriage, face-slapping period romance)
