In the Sixties, I Refused to Be a Workhorse and Struck It Rich on an Island

After transmigrating into a book as a gullible, hardworking nobody who gets swindled into marriage in the 1960s, Ji Jiujiu flips the table and refuses to play along.

Her scumbag fiancé helps his crippled brother trick her into marriage. Ji Jiujiu beats them both up, then reports them and ruins their lives.

Her scumbag father and stepmother seize the family property and torment her and her younger brother. Ji Jiujiu clears out the family home and gets them sent to a labor farm.

Her stepsister and sister-in-law join forces with outsiders to frame her. Ji Jiujiu exposes their disgraceful behavior and leaves them despised by everyone.

…

Taking her younger brother with her to an island village, Ji Jiujiu makes a name for herself.

But why is the gaze of that rugged man who's always quietly watched over her becoming harder and harder to hide?
