Reborn After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Married My One True Love

In his previous life, Shen Jianjun was the biggest joke in the village.

Everyone envied him for marrying Ma Yanhong, a city girl who was beautiful, had a job, and didn’t look down on him for being from the countryside. It wasn’t until the day he died that he understood: she was looking for a man to take responsibility for someone else’s child.

To scrape together her sky-high bride price, his little sister starved to death on New Year’s Eve. His mother spent ten years paying off the debt, then died alone in the old house. His eldest sister’s savings were drained, and his second sister’s dowry was pawned. And the son he had devoted everything to raising for twenty years wasn’t even his.

He is reborn and returns to 1980.

Faced with his future mother-in-law’s outrageous demand for the three big-ticket items, a radio, a sewing machine, and a bicycle, plus 300 yuan, Shen Jianjun breaks off the engagement in front of everyone and walks away.

This time, no one will get to bleed him dry.

This time, he will protect the family he let down in his previous life.

As for that sweet, gentle girl he has always cherished, Liu Yuqing: he wasn’t worthy of her in his previous life, but this time, he will marry her with his head held high.
