The 1980s: After My Divorce, I Hooked a Villainous Tycoon

[Rebirth in the 1970s + everyday family life + a darkened powerful man pursuing his wife + a push and pull between the two] In her previous life, Zhong Qiao was a modern-day Wang Baochuan. She turned down wealth and status, insisting on eloping with a scumbag. She ate wild greens in a cold cave every day and thought it was the sweetest thing. When she grew old and faded, her ungrateful son and scumbag husband joined forces to defraud her insurance and murder her. Reborn on the day she gave birth, Zhong Qiao looked at the bowl of pickled vegetable porridge her awful mother-in-law had made for her, while listening to her complain about how well her scumbag husband treated her. She couldn't take it anymore. She flung the porridge at the hypocrite and said, “Divorce! You take the boy, I'll take the girl!”

After returning to the residential compound, Zhong Qiao learned that she had actually been promised in marriage as a child to the son of her grandfather's friend. More importantly, this man had saved her twice: Ji Hebai, a military doctor who had returned from overseas, and the son-in-law everyone in the compound dreamed of. Everyone laughed that Zhong Qiao had thrown away a watermelon for a sesame seed. Zhong Qiao took on the machinery plant's bosses to demand her wages, went back to school, stood up to her awful relatives, and started a business, leaving her scumbag husband's family in tears of regret. But why did something feel off? Why was her childhood betrothed starting to look more and more like the darkened powerful man from her previous life?

The story's message: If he hadn't impersonated someone else for those three years, you should have been the wife I married properly and openly.
