Reborn in the Eighties, I Marry a Powerful Man, and the Sweetheart Fights for Him

In her previous life, Lan Ying was the real daughter of Factory Director Lan’s family, switched at birth. After being reunited with them, she tried desperately to please her family and fiancé, meek and pliable, hoping only that they would spare her a glance. But no one cared about her sacrifices or her grievances. Only when she died alone in a hospital bed did she finally see the truth... Reborn in the third year after being brought back, she decides this time to focus on her career and forget romance. Her fiancé asks her to cover for him and accompany the fake heiress to the movies. No problem. She’s the easygoing, meek one, after all. She buys the tickets and soda, then watches her fiancé and the fake heiress flirt and cuddle as tears stream down her face. Don’t ask. If you do, she’ll say she spent all her money and can’t afford the herbs her mother needs for a calming incense blend. The first time her fiancé gives Lan Ying money, she gets robbed on the way home. She returns in tears to apologize to her mother. She failed to take care of such a wonderful mom, and it’s all her fault. For the first time in three years, her mother gives her money to buy incense. After that, whoever gives her money is a good person. She uses every bit of it to better herself: evening classes, university entrance exams, business, charity, and, along the way, payback for those who hurt her. Only after Lan Ying climbs to heights they could never reach do her family and fiancé realize that the Lan Ying who loved them with all her heart is gone. Jiang Yi regrets it. “Lan Ying, I was wrong. Marry me. I’ll spend the rest of my life treating you right.” Lan Ying puts an arm around her tall, handsome boyfriend. “My boyfriend has both money and looks. Why would I drop a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed like you?” Jiang Zhan puts on a cold face and acts coy. “Didn’t we agree I’d become official once I passed the trial period? You can’t go back on your word.”
